OatUP – gluten-free oat groats in 13 flavors for porridge, shakes and baking
A bowl of hot porridge in the morning, overnight oats waiting in the fridge, or a smoothie when the day is busy. Oats can take many forms. With Skytrition OatUP, you get finely ground, gluten-free oats in 13 flavors, with a smooth consistency that is perfect for eating by the spoonful, blending into shakes, or baking.
In this guide, we will go over what OatUP is, how to prepare it, and how you can use it in your daily life. You will also find inspiration for flavor combinations with WheyUP and IsoUP.
What is OatUP?
OatUP is Skytrition's flavored, finely ground oat product based on gluten-free oat flour. The fine grind provides different possibilities than whole oats when you want to make a smooth porridge or blend oats into a shake. The product comes in a 1,000-gram package and is available in 13 flavors.
You can use OatUP for porridge, overnight oats, smoothies, shakes, and baking. Choose the use and consistency you prefer, instead of limiting oats to the same breakfast every day.

How to prepare OatUP as hot porridge
The product's preparation instructions are based on 25–50 grams of OatUP and 100–200 milliliters of water:
- Mix OatUP and water in a shaker.
- Pour the mixture into a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat for 30 seconds.
- Stir and repeat heating in short intervals until you have the desired consistency.
Always follow the instructions on your packaging. Adjust the amount of liquid according to how thick you want the porridge to be, and keep in mind that heating times may vary between microwaves. Be careful with the hot bowl.
Overnight oats with OatUP
Do you want to prepare breakfast the night before? Mix OatUP with milk or a plant-based drink of your choice in a jar with a lid and leave it in the fridge overnight. Stir before serving and add more liquid if needed.
Because OatUP is finely ground, the consistency will be different than with whole oats. Experiment with the amount of liquid to find what you like. Berries, banana, or other fruit can be an easy topping.
OatUP in smoothies and shakes
OatUP can also be blended into smoothies and shakes. Start with a smaller amount and adjust the liquid gradually, as the oats affect how thick the drink becomes. A blender is practical when you also use fruit or berries.
For flavor inspiration, you can try Vanilla Ice Cream together with berries, Chocolate Milkshake with banana, or Cinnamon Churros with apple. These are suggestions to experiment with, not finished recipes with fixed amounts.
Combine OatUP with WheyUP or IsoUP
You do not have to add protein powder to use OatUP. However, if you want to increase the protein content in your meal, you can combine the oats with Skytrition WheyUP or Skytrition IsoUP.
Mix it into overnight oats or a smoothie, or stir in the protein powder after you have prepared the porridge. Adjust with more liquid if the mixture becomes too thick. Follow the respective product's serving and usage instructions.
Stick to similar flavors for an easy combination, or try contrasting ones. A vanilla profile can, for example, be a starting point when you want the taste of the oats to take center stage.
When during the day is OatUP suitable?
There is no specific time required for using OatUP. Choose the meal that fits your daily life:
- For breakfast: hot porridge or overnight oats that you prepared the night before.
- As a snack: a smaller portion of porridge or as part of a smoothie.
- Before training: as part of a meal, with the portion size and timing adjusted to what feels right for you.
- After training: as part of a meal, for example together with a protein source.
Think of OatUP as an ingredient in your meals, not as something that must be taken at an exact time.
OatUP or CorUP – what is the difference?
OatUP is based on gluten-free oat flour, while CorUP is a Cream of Rice product based on rice flour. Both can be used as a base for porridge, but they have different nutritional profiles. Compare the same amount of dry powder to see the difference, not a finished bowl where the amount of water or milk may vary.
| Nutritional value | OatUP | CorUP |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 185–188 kcal | 177 kcal |
| Carbohydrates | 30–31 g | 39 g |
| Fiber | 4.5–5.2 g | 1.2 g |
| Protein | 6–6.5 g | 3.3 g |
| Fat | 3.5–3.8 g | 0.8 g |
The range for OatUP depends on the flavor. Always check the nutritional declaration on your packaging. Milk, protein powder, and toppings are in addition to the values in the comparison.
Which one suits your meal?
OatUP provides more fiber, protein, and fat per 50 grams of powder. CorUP provides more carbohydrates and less fiber in the same amount of powder. Choose OatUP when you want an oat base with more fiber, and CorUP when you want to get more carbohydrates with less fiber in the portion.
Both can be used before or after training. Adjust the portion size and timing according to the rest of your diet and what your stomach tolerates. The difference in fiber content is not a guarantee of how either product feels in the stomach.
Do OatUP and CorUP have different GI?
GI, glycemic index, describes the blood sugar response after a standardized amount of available carbohydrates. It is not the same as the amount of carbohydrates or sugars in a portion.
We have no product-specific GI measurements for OatUP or CorUP in the basis for this guide. Therefore, we do not state exact GI values and do not describe either product as proven low- or high-GI. A GI value for regular oats or rice cannot automatically be transferred to these products.
Fine grinding, preparation, and the product's composition can affect the blood sugar response. Portion size and what you eat with the product also play a role in the meal's blood sugar impact. The fact that OatUP contains more fiber is therefore not enough to establish its GI or promise a steadier blood sugar.
Base your choice between the products on the verified difference in raw material and nutritional content, rather than an assumed promise of fast or slow energy.
Can you bake with OatUP?
Yes, OatUP can be used in baking, for example in pancakes or muffins where you want to use finely ground flavored oats. Since oats and wheat flour have different baking properties, you should not assume they can always be replaced with the same amount.
It is a good idea to start with a recipe intended for oat flour and adjust the liquid according to the batter. OatUP is flavored and contains sweeteners, so take that into account when choosing the other ingredients.
Gluten-free oats and ingredients
OatUP is based on gluten-free oats. Ingredients and nutritional values vary between flavors, so check the information for your specific variant. If you want the entire meal to be gluten-free, you also need to check the drink, topping, and other ingredients you add.
OatUP contains sweeteners, including aspartame, and a source of phenylalanine. Read the full ingredients list, warnings, and usage instructions on the packaging.
