    Hi,

    I make a smoothie every morning at breakfast (to eat with my porridge). Originally it was just protein shake with my daily bit of creatine. But lately I have been using a hand blender to make an actual smoothie with the following ingredients...choc whey protein powder, 5g creatine, tbl spoon natural yoghurt, tbl spoon flax seed, tbl spoon porridge oats, a banana, some blueberries (sometimes frozen), sometimes some grapes.

    My question is this - would my delicious new smoothie format in anyway be affecting the absorption or effectiveness of my protein or creatine? Would any of the new ingredients counter act or slow down absorption? Any other comments in general about this smoothie in terms of how good it is/isnt for me? Just wondering. I train pretty hard (weights and cycling) nearly every day so have a high calorie requirement.

    Anyway, and ideas/feedback would be great!

    because of the fiber and the carbs from the banana and oats and tat the obsorbtion would be slowed but tats wat you want for breakfast, the only time you want it to be abosrbed fast is post workout really
