Choice Protein - Cinnamon Oatmeal

Our friends at Choice Nutrition Systems give us a great recipe to try with their Choice Blend Cinnimon Bun flavored protein!

A lot of healthy eaters make Oatmeal a staple of their diet regimen.  For me personally, I love oatmeal but find it filling, especially when I have to supplement it with eggs or egg whites in order to get the protein I need at each meal.  Here is an easy solution that won’t make you feel like you are eating the entire farm every breakfast.

Make your oatmeal as directed by the oatmeal manufacturer.  We will borrow Quaker Old Fashioned Oats recipe here as an example.

          +  


½ Cup Dry Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
(We prefer the old fashioned whole rolled oats versus the over processed instant.  Whole oats give you more usable energy and cause a higher thermic effect for the food to burn more effective calories)

1 and ¼ Cup Water or we prefer Almond Milk (Vanilla or Regular, but always unsweetened)

1 ½ Scoops of Choice Blend Cinnamon Bun Protein Powder

Dash of salt (optional)

Bring the milk or water to a boil (or microwave till hot).  In a separate pan, mix the dry oats with the protein powder. 

Stir the dry mixture into the hot liquid until it is the consistency you like.  Usually takes at least 4-5 minutes on the heat to cook the oats or approximately 2 minutes in the microwave.  Let stand and cool a bit before eating and add additional milk or water after if you are wanting a little less thickness.

Enjoy!

Here is the nutrient profile of your Choice Cinnamon Oatmeal (made with water):

380 Calories; 32grams Carbohydrates; 5grams of Fat (Zero Saturated); 45grams of Protein; 70mg Sodium


This is a perfect macro-nutrient ratio to start your day!

Stop by today and try a sample of their awesome Cinnamon Bun flavor or ANY of the awesome protein flavors they have!

Til - Next time!
