Hi Sarit,

It's fun to do a google search on all the varieties of oats. From what I understand, rolled oats have been *steamed* and rolled, so cooked a bit...whereas steel cut are just slices of the whole oat groat. Have fun experimenting with different shakes. I guess I'm a strange one...I like my browns on the side, and like my shake a bit more runny, not thick. I love how we are all so different.

: Hi Allison,

: To tell you the truth, I'm confused
: about the difference between
: rolled oats and steel cut oats.
: I use the smaller kind, the
: more-cut-up ones.
: And because I know I don't do so well
: with oats uncooked, I thought
: having them sit in liquid
: overnight would make them
: easier to digest.

: The idea of sweet potato and cinnamon
: is interesting.
: And just to say - whenever I eat
: sweet potato at a meal, my body is
: never satisfied with it as a
: brown. I see it as something
: between a vegetable and a brown. I
: always need some grain or rye
: bread in addition to the sweet
: potato to "round out"
: the brown for me.
: I wonder if sweet potato in shake
: would hold me.
: There's only one way to find
: out......
