That's when the real fun begins. :D
Thanks for the tips. I've got some interesting and oaty experimentation pending now! Perhaps worth a try: soaking the oats in the smoothie liquid overnight, and blending in the morning?
Heheh honestly man, you don't need to soak them or anything. I just buy the raw, dry oats in 2KG bags and pile in about 2 or 3 heaped cups (2-300g) at least, then blend with the smoothie. Chuck a nice wee dram of whiskey in their for a nice bite too, during these cold mornings.
AS for the oats themselves, Scotland is infamous for our oats, we have the best oats in all the world, without a doubt. We're nae half keen oan oor porridge ken fit ah mean pal? Hell, just now I'm standing on a hill in a kilt playing the bagpipes and dousing myself in oats and whiskey.
But aye....what i'm trying to say is that I've grown up eating oats all my life and I don't think I've once cooked them. I actually hate porridge if i'm honest with you....I much prefer oats just chucked in a smoothie. Porridge, or doing what you intend on doing and soaking them, results in far too sloppy a texture.
Later today, how about you just chuck 100g of oats in that there smoothie of yours and see how you get on. You won't be disappointed...it adds a lovely texture to the smoothie. I'm fairly certain you won't die either....but if you do, can I have the rest of your oats?

Heheh, sounds good my man. What time is it in Aussieland? It's 11am here...For a second there I thought you were having the breakfast of champions but then realised it must be night time or something! Isn't your summer jst starting aswell?
As for the thread, I can't eat, though I feel incredibly ravenous and downright nauseous with having not eaten in the 2 hours I've been awake. I don't know how ANYONE can go longer than 10 minutes without eating from waking up. I need to eat instantly upon waking, otherwise that's me fucked for the entire day. No matter how much I eat and how much energy shenanigans I have (ginseng,coffee,whatever) I am still lackadaisical and incredibly lethargic and just 'not right'.
I am in the midst of withdrawals though, and can never eat when in this state. Even water seems to disgust me at this point. It's annoying, because I want to eat. I've had a banana, but that's about all I can manage.
