Hot French Vanilla Protein Oatmeal

INGREDIENTS

1 packet instant oatmeal
3/4 cup water
1 scoop DESIGNER WHEY® French Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Nonfat milk (optional)
Sugar-free jam, raisins, nuts, cinnamon (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Mix one cup instant oatmeal with ≤ cup water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Stir well until oatmeal is thoroughly moistened.
Cook in microwave on high power for about 1 minute. Microwave powers vary. You may need an extra minute or so.
Stir one level scoop of French Vanilla DESIGNER WHEY™ into 1 oz water while oatmeal is cooling slightly. Pour this into oatmeal and stir. French Vanilla is our most popular flavor, but you may want to try chocolate, too.

This adds an extra 18 grams of protein to your breakfast. Add nonfat milk or more water to thin oatmeal, if desired. Add some of your favorite topping such as sugar free jam, raisins, nuts and cinnamon, but make sure to count those calories if you're counting.

HI-PRO VANILLA BREAKFAST GRAINS

Bulgur is a whole grain made from wheat berries that are steamed, partially debranned, dried, and crushed or cracked. It provides protein and fiber for steady energy that lasts long beyond mealtime. Cooking the bulgur with milk instead of water is a great way to kick up the amount of calcium and protein.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/4 cups fat-free milk
1 cup coarse-ground bulgur
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup (2 scoops) Biggest Loser vanilla protein powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Natural sweetener, such as stevia (optional)
6 tablespoons plain fat-free
Greek-style yogurt

DIRECTIONS

In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Add the bulgur, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, and salt and stir well. Continue heating over medium-high heat until very hot but not boiling. Reduce the heat to low and cover partially. (Don't cover tightly, or the mixture will boil over.)

Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed but the grains are still loose and creamy. Remove from the heat and stir in the protein powder and vanilla. Divide the cereal among 6 breakfast bowls. Sweeten with natural sweetener if desired and garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt.
