Very good! I used fat free milk, honey, quick cooking oats, wheat germ and frozen banana. Delicious! I meant to add flaxseed like CoffeeB suggested but forgot. Next time I will. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

The taste is really good. The shake itself is a bit thin. Don't know exactly what to add to it to make it thicker though. Most of the oatmeal was at the bottom of the shake, too. But overall, I love the fact that it is healthy and I will probably have one a few times a week. I'll just have to experiment!!

Ooooo this is so so good. So thick and creamy and mine was really cold because my banana was frozen. I still did add a bit of ice to the mix. I opted out of the honey and added one packet of splenda along with a flaxmeal/cinnamon/brownsugar blend I keep on hand to top my oatmeal with most mornings. I thought I would try this instead of the normal and I was not disappointed. A great idea for the summer months and still getting your oats. Oh...BTW..I used the oldfashioned kind and so the consistency might be a bit thinner using the quick style. A keeper...:-)
