Bob Terwilliger said:Chicago has a fairly-well-known Costa Rican restaurant named Irazu. I've
heard great things about Irazu's oatmeal shakes. It's my understanding that
the actual recipe is a closely-held secret, but is there a copycat recipe
out there? If not, can I get some information from someone who's actually
*had* one of the shakes? (In particular, I'm wondering whether the oatmeal
is raw or cooked. But any other information would be welcome as well, other
than "they're awesome," which I've already read elsewhere.)

Oatmeal - bleh.... and I am from outta town so I never even heard of
Irazu 😉
But I found this when googling if you're interested: (sounds like they
cook the oatmeal)

Oatmeal Meal Replacement Shake- (serves 1)
This is a homemade meal replacement that contains all the nutrition of a
hearty bowl of oatmeal. It's got complex carbs, protein, and a little
good fat to extend its contribution to your energy stores. If you expect
the rest of the day to be hectic, why not double it up and take half of
the shake to work to ensure you don't skip a meal just because you'll be
stuck in a meeting.
Ingredients:
½ cup dry measure oatmeal, cooked in water and cooled
2 scoops vanilla protein
3 dashes cinnamon
1/8 c sugar free maple syrup or equivalent amount brown sugar replacement
1 tbsp chopped almonds (or flaxseed oil or natural peanut butter)
12 oz. water or low-fat milk
Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and pour into cup. If your short
on time, just use dry oatmeal or oat flour.
