Scitec Oat N Whey

 

Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

Oats are a well-liked source of nutrition for many people, engaged in heavy physical activity or not. For your convenience, in this product we already combined oats and a high-quality whey protein for a meal that can be consumed at any time of the day to support your activities. The added protein is exclusively from whey. Dietary proteins are the source of nitrogen and indispensable amino acids, which the body requires for tissue growth and maintenance. Therefore the protein in Oat 'n' Whey contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and also to the maintenance of normal bones.

So a fairly high calorie shake with high protein and carb content. I think this makes a great build for a breakfast shake or a postworkout.

Nice slow digesting carbs will keep you full for longer coupled with both fast and slow digesting proteins to drip feed your muscles throughout the period of time until your next meal.

Taste

I had the Vanilla flavour and it wasn’t the best, it was a little sickly, the texture can be a little bit off putting as its lumpy like it hasn’t mixed properly. You can eat it with a spoon but personally I preferred to drink it like any other shake.

Side Effects

None

Price

£18.79 for a tub with 15 servings in.

Results

I love breakfast, I think its my favourite meal. A good breakfast shake should not only help you hit your macros and fill you with healthy proteins, carbs and fats but keep you full until your next meal so you don’t snack. Oats N Whey kept me full for hours. I could easily last 3-4 hours with just one shake.

The nutritional profile is good for bulkers not so great for cutting cycles providing a hearty 40g of carbs. It doesn’t taste the best but it's easy enough to drink and it does the job well. It would be very handy as a backup breakfast if you were running late.

Its priced quite cheap at £18.79 and £1.25 is much cheaper than you’d pay for a porridge pot from a café and this has a better nutritional profile that hasn’t been crammed full of sugar and artificial sweeteners. I like Oats N Whey, which isn’t surprising considering I like both Oats and Whey, it is a well thought out breakfast shake to set your muscle building day off well. 8.5/10
