Almond Oatmeal Protein Shake

There are three ways to make this shake, depending on how you want it.

1. FAST - Don't bother cooking the oatmeal. Simply mix all the ingredients together in a blender and drink.

2. SMOOTH - Cook the oatmeal first, then let it cool for 10 minutes and it'll mix together more thoroughly when you blend it.

3. WARM - Cook the oatmeal first, then heat up the milk in a microwave for 1 - 2 minutes. Combine all the ingredients in a blender while still hot and it makes a smooth, hot almond oatmeal protein shake.
