Really raw oats as a substitute for protein powder in shakes?

Date: June 16, 2015 10:28PM The other day I was making a smoothie and I had some organic barley flakes lying around and I threw them in the Vitamix with everything. Tasted pretty good. I thought about it--the reason I even liked protein powder was that gritty gravitas that it provided.
So I am looking right now at really raw oats. I see that they are $7 a pound but the shipping doubles the price. Maybe I could get some sort of deal where I don't have to pay more than $10 a pound for it. In any case, 28 grams of raw oats = 3 Tbsp. and 5 grams of protein. To me that is plenty, especially when combined with the actual shake ingredients. Compare the oats' profile to that of the $30 or $40 container of raw protein powder: [www.google.com] [www.gardenoflife.com] For the oats, use the packet table on left as the source)  Edited 4 time(s).

Date: June 17, 2015 04:34PM I just looked up the price of oats on the commodity exchange - 252 cents per bushel with 32 pounds per bushel that is 7.9 cents per pound! Organic shouldn't any more than twice that I don't think. With transportation and marketing markups organic oats should still be under 50 cents a pound.

But sprouted grains and nuts are more labor-intensive, which you would know if you ever do that sort of thing. Not much trouble but it does take extra time.

I have been looking for gRAWnola recipes but they are hard to find. I want something that reminds me of that glorious granola from the '70s that was about a 100 lbs. in a box. It was amazing stuff--stuck to your ribs. Coconut, dates, raisins, almonds...the whole nine yards! The stuff nowadays is lightweight crap--just the oats and some flavoring usually.
