It&#8217;s routinely found in the &#8220;Top 10&#8221; seller lists maintained by online retailers such as bodybuilding.com and 1fast400.com. Thus, it&#8217;s not surprising to see spin off products, such as Muscle Milk bars and &#8211; now &#8211; Muscle Milk &#8216;n Oats.<\/p>\n<p>Muscle Milk &#8216;n Oats combines two bodybuilding staples, oatmeal and protein powder, into a single, on-the-go breakfast. It comes in five flavors: Apple Cinnamon, Banana Walnut, Breakfast Cocoa, Vanilla Bean and Maple &amp; Brown Sugar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manufacturer&#8217;s Description:<\/strong> Introducing all the big nutrition of Muscle Milk and all the goodness of oats in one great tasting combination! Muscle Milk N Oats is the quick and convenient way to get your daily protein intake&#8230;.Muscle Milk contains EvoPro and Lean Lipids blends. EvoPro is a complex ratio of proteins, peptides and amino acids designed to replicate the amazing benefits of mother&#8217;s milk for rapid tissue growth and repair. Lean Lipids are special fats that are easily mobilized for workout energy, enhance your body&#8217;s fat metabolism and promote protein synthesis and mineral retention.<\/p>\n<p>When you combine Muscle Milk with whole grain oats, not only do you enrich your diet with a muscle-building meal low in saturated fats and cholesterol, but you also receive a significant portion of the recommended daily amounts of whole grain foods and fiber. So Muscle Milk N Oats is a better choice for a genuinely nutritious meal-on-the-go that does what refined foods cannot do: it helps support healthy cholesterol and maintain a healthy heart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Product Label:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table class=\"functional\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"40%\" valign=\"top\">Serving Size 1 Cup (78g)<br \/>\nAmount Per Serving<br \/>\nCalories 300<br \/>\nCalories From Fat 50<br \/>\nTotal Fat 6g<br \/>\nSaturated Fat 1g<br \/>\nPolyunsaturated Fat 1.5g<br \/>\nMonounsaturated Fat 2.5g<br \/>\nTrans Fat 0g<br \/>\nCholesterol 5mg<\/td>\n<td width=\"30%\" valign=\"top\">Sodium 180mg<br \/>\nPotassium 470mg<br \/>\nTotal Carbohydrate 34g<br \/>\nDietary Fiber 4g<br \/>\nSoluble Fiber 2g<br \/>\nInsoluble Fiber 2g<br \/>\nSugars 4g<br \/>\nProtein 30g 60%<br \/>\nVitamin A 20%<br \/>\nIron 15%<\/td>\n<td width=\"30%\" valign=\"top\">Thiamin 20%<br \/>\nCalcium 30%<br \/>\nVitamin E 4%<br \/>\nRiboflavin 20%<br \/>\nNiacin 20%<br \/>\nFolate 20%<br \/>\nPhosphorus 20%<br \/>\nVitamin B6 20%<br \/>\nVitamin B12 20%<br \/>\nMagnesium 25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong> Whole Grain Rolled Oats (With Oat Bran), EVOPRO\u2122 Our Custom Protein Peptide And Amino Acid Matrix Designed To Closely Reflect The Nitrogen Components And Ratios Found In Human Mother&#8217;s Milk (Micellar Alpha And Beta Caseins And Caseinates, Whey Concentrates Rich In Alpha-Lactalbumin, Whey Isolates, Whey Peptides, L-Glutamine, Taurine, Lactoferrin), Lean Lipids\u2122 Trans Fat Free Lipid Complex Selected For Thermogenic And Unique Energy Properties (Canola Oil, Sunflower And\/Or Safflower Oil, Enzyme Engineered Polyunsaturated Long-Chain Vegetable Oils, MCT&#8217;s, L-Carnitine), Fructose, Maltodextrin, Natural And Artificial Flavor, Modified Food Starch, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Niacinamide, Vitamin A Palmitate, Cyanocobalamin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Folic Acid, Soy Lecithin.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Comments:<\/strong> I picked up a 6-pack of Maple &amp; Brown Sugar Muscle Milk &#8216;n Oats from bodybuilding.com for $13.99.\u00a0It&#8217;s considerably more expensive per serving than conventional instant oatmeal &#8211; although in fairness &#8211; the regular stuff doesn&#8217;t\u00a0even come\u00a0close to providing the 30 grams\/serving of high quality protein that\u00a0this product does. 30 grams of protein is about what you get in 100g (3 1\/2 oz) of cooked chicken breast or lean sirloin steak, so from that perspective, it&#8217;s not a bad price at all.<\/p>\n<p>The cereal comes in individual, microwaveable cups, so it&#8217;s a snap to prepare: according to the directions, all it takes is 2\/3 c. water and about 1 &#8211; 2 minutes in the microwave.\u00a0 Doesn&#8217;t get much simpler than that.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I thought it was pretty tasty, too. This wasn&#8217;t a surprise, however, as Muscle Milk is famous for its flavors (at last count, there were 27 flavors vs. Baskin Robbins&#8217; 31). I thought it was a bit on the\u00a0gummy side, too, although it made for a reasonably satsifying breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be trading in my Bob&#8217;s Red Mill, thick-cut rolled oats for it, (I like the texture of &#8220;old fashioned&#8221; oats better), but\u00a0Muscle Milk &#8216;n Oats is\u00a0undeniably handy, tasty and\u00a0faster to prepare.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a good emergency meal that can be prepared without a lot of muss and fuss (or dishes!).<\/p>\n<p>[usrlist &#8220;Taste:4.0&#8221; &#8220;Quality:4.5&#8221; &#8220;Efficacy:5.0&#8221; &#8220;Value:2.5&#8243; avg=&#8221;true&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muscle Milk is one of CytoSport&#8217;s most popular products.
