BFIng smoothies

My doctor was telling me oatmeal is going to be one of my best friends when I'm breast feeding.
I HAAAAATTE oatmeal... the texture just makes me so sick.

So he told me I could put it in my smoothies if I wanted to and that would help me out, PLUS it would help get me nutrients when I might not have a lot of time to eat something with 2 active children and a newborn.

Have any of you done this? Is it pretty easy to mask the taste of the oatmeal with the right fruits and veggies?

Watching. I love me some oatmeal.... but even I got sick of it. lol.

Yes, I mix dried oats into my smoothies and you can't really taste it at all. I like the texture and flavor it adds!

same.i prefer smoothies with oatmeal over regular because they are so filling

Ok might be a dumb question... do you cook it or put it in raw?

Did it help with your supply???

My doctor said ladies put it in raw, and it gets softer with all the fruit juices/veggies juices/water

Quoting InkDMomma:" Did it help with your supply???"

Oh, I dunno! Haha I didn't start doing it for that reason. My son's 16 months old and we're still breastfeeding but I've never had any supply issues or did anything to "boost" my supply. Why are you nervous about your supply?

You just use uncooked oats..they grind up.

I haven't been able to produce anything with my last 2... so I'm just covering my bases and being prepared.

I've never noticed it helping with my supply when bfing but my supply was already fine. Is he taking right after you give birth?
When I put oatmeal in smoothies I use leftover oatmeal so its cooked then I sprinkle raw oatmeal on top.
the other day I made a berry/peanut butter/oatmeal smoothie so good.

Ohh okay. Hope you have better luck this time around!

I have a ninja blender. I blend it dry so its very fine. Add blueberries, strawberries and a banana, vanilla yogurt, usually apple juice. Cant taste it.
