Unflavoured whey
Powdered oats (supermarket brand ready brek)
Supermarket brand angel delight.

The cheapo ready brek is cheaper than buying powdered oats from bulk suppliers. The cheapo angel delight is 3p a packet and makes 4 servings that tastes like branded protein powder.

It works out at about 40p a portion. There are more healthy bulking shakes, there are more rounded bulking shakes, but this is IMO the cheapest you will get.

I do buy oats from asda and i do blend them for my shakes

Was just looking for ways to adjust the shake when I next bulk.

Also does anyone know of some form of dry fat source other than flax powder?

Would this be an effective bulking shake?

100g Oats
40g Whey
25g Mixed Nuts or linseeds

Think it comes to about 600+ cals

Blend to a powder and add water later when needed?

1 more question

whats the difference between golden and brown linseeds?

Thanks

In practical terms, there's not really any difference.

That shake looks fine. You're only having it once or twice a day right?

Does blending or grinding the oats down into a powder make it easier to mix??? Whenever i have used Oats in the past they have been whole, and made the shake slimey!! if not, this looks like a decent mrp for someone on a budget!!! :)

Cheers

Hence why i said use powdered oats (supermarket brand ready brek). They mix into a shake without even needing to blend.

Cool, in that case ill give it a go, mixed with milk, 100g powdered oats, 50g protein i think you'd be knocking back about 700-850kcals per shake at less that £1 per serving, bargain!!

They're good, but i've found they make shakes a bit gritty.

I started my bulk and had the shake today. It weren't too bad, the oats and linseeds tend to fall to the bottom so you have to swirl it round before you drink.
