After reading about this possibility elsewhere, I decided to give it a try. I took 1/4 cup of whole oats and ground them in a coffee grinder. This produced a fairly fine powder. I added it to my protein shake, and it was very good. It doesn't disolve, but it's not too intrusive either. The taste was great. I figure that it's a way to add healthy carbs to my morning protein shake. I have also considered grinding whole flax seeds and adding a tablespoon of those as well.
Voila, home made MRP.
My concern is that I'm not sure what effect grinding has on the GI of the oats. Does it hasten the gastric uptake, or would it remain the same? I would imagine that by pulverizing them into powder that they would be absorbed more quickly, but I'm not sure.
Any thoughs??
