Cooked Oat
About Cooked Oat
Oat powder is made from finely ground whole oats. It is a great source of complex carbohydrates, which provide a slow and sustained release of energy. Oats are also packed with soluble fiber, which can help to lower cholesterol and improve digestion. They are also a good source of several important micronutrients, including manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium.
Why Powdered?
Oat powder is a convenient and easy-to-digest alternative to whole oats. It mixes easily into liquids, so you can add it to your protein shakes and smoothies for a sustained energy boost. The powdered form is also more versatile than whole oats, as it can be used in a wider variety of recipes. Plus, it has a longer shelf life and is easier to store.
Benefits
- Pre-Workout: The complex carbohydrates in oat powder provide a slow and steady release of energy, making it an excellent pre-workout fuel source. This will help you to power through your workouts without the energy crashes that can come from simple sugars.
- Post-Workout: After a workout, oat powder can help to replenish your glycogen stores, which are depleted during exercise. This is essential for muscle recovery and growth.
- Breakfast or a Daily Meal: A mix with high oat powder is a meal on its own, with its high fiber, complex carbohydrate content and protein. It can be added to smoothies, and yogurt to help with satiety and provide sustained energy throughout the day.
Suggested Mixes
For a classic meal replacement shake, combine Oat Powder with a scoop of your favorite protein, such as **Whey Concentrate** or **Pea Protein**. For a pre-workout boost, mix it with a fast-acting protein like **Whey Isolate**.
