"This review is of the second 5kg batch of instant oats that I have ordered. The first batch was grand and mixed will with no 'residue'. However, this batch has a massive amount of oat husks that have not successfully been 'finely grounded'. This makes the shake fine until the end where it's practically just a heap of whole oats. It's a shame but hopefully it's limited to this batch as I will be purchasing more in future. With regard to effectiveness, it's hard to say as I mix it with whey protein. But in the 2 months that I've been working out, I have definitely gained strength and size."

"I defy anyone not to include this in their diet. Im up early every day for work and never fancy eating...So a couple of scoops of these bad boys in my protein shake sets me up for the day! Gone are the days of waking up the family with the blender going at 4.30 in the morning! Great for carbing up before Rugby on a Saturday. I mix it with orange juice before a workout if im feeling a but flat, this tastes fine. Also great in Cranberry Juice! Or add some into pancakes for the kids. Laughed at a lad the other day - eating porridge oats and protein with a spoon cold is disgusting - this is the way to deliver the benefits of oats!"

"I used to put porridge oats in a blender with milk/water and protein. But this saves all the messing about, it mixes brilliantly, it's cheap, it tastes just like porridge. It's ideal."

This product is boom !! Dont know why people are so fussy . 600ml water with two scoops oats and twos scoops protein! In a blender and there yah have it perfect shake morning pre workout and post workout! Nothing wrong with the taste.! It fills you up and you dont go hungry and i have so much more energy throughout the day.! Works well with my meal plan and workout routine. Defo buy this again and again and again!!

"nearly through my first 10kg don't know what people are fussin about ...mixability...... taste.....does exactly what it says on the tin.I make it for brekki and as a meal replacement (brekki is at 5am before gym at 6am hence convenience)..2 x 25 gram myprotein scoops of milk choc true whey and 2 of the same scoops of oat which works out at 100 grams (ish),creatine.l-glut bit of truvia and 400-500 ml of water,bang tidy!!....and the secret to the mix... is hard and fast ;-)...straight from the off (2 hands) not a 1 handed limp wristed tarts effort...even the wife has it once or twice a day(smaller portion obvs) and manages to mix it ok. SO man up and quit whining like a wuss and enjoy the benifits of a cheap great value product "

"I bought this as my personal trainer suggested I should have oats for breakfast. I don't like the usual oats but I thought I would give this a go and mix it with my 2 scopes of chocolate flavoured whey isolate protein I also buy from here. I have to say I was apprehensive, but there was no need, I added the same amount of water that I normally do if a little more and with a good shake it mixes very well. I drink it instantly and it goes down very well with only the last couple of mouthfulls where I feel the need to chew the oats. Great product and I'll be continuing to have this for breakfast for the foreseeable future."

"DO NOT BUY THE UNFLAVOURED VERSION!!! - unless you like the taste and consistency of white flour!!!... I bought the Chocolate Smooth flavour before and mixed with MP Chocolate Whey Isolate its amazing!!!!.. zero bloating, zero crash, just great carbs!!! :)"

"I bought 5kg of the unflavoured and use it for a drinkable breakfast. Mixed with 1-2 scoops of flavoured Impact Whey, it goes down well and doesn't disagree with me. Keeps me going for most of the morning which is just what I need. "

"I love this product, great for first thing in the morning, before and after the gym. Has a good amount of carbs so gives good amounts of energy. Great price, I've just bought another 5kg bag and I got one for free which is great. However I feel like the oats in this batch are not mixing nowhere near as well as the last one I had. Might have to use a blender which is a pain. Deffinately recommend it though"

"I brought this whilst it was on offer(10kg unflavoured for £9.99!!) due to all the reviews being so positive and great. But it hasn't quite lived up to expectations in my opinion. I've found it doesn't mix great and leaves a very sandy/grainy texture in your mouth, I almost feel like gagging whilst drinking the product. I think the reccomended amount of instant oats to liquid is ridiculous...it's far too thick! I've tried with water and with milk and with (Choc smooth) impact whey and that makes it slightly better. It's just not a very pleasant taste, hopefully i'll get used to it because I've got 10kg to get through now but if i'm honest I would not recommend. On a plus side, it does leave you feeling quite full (almost bloated) and full of energy which I suppose is what it's meant to do. If I could handle the taste then maybe it would be better but as it is I find it hard to take. Might try out a few different combinations with hot milk or honey and cinamon to try and mask the taste!"
