I heard my name...
Thanks Celadon!
Here is the link to my recipe in the Community Kitchen for
Super Protein Oatmeal I use the Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal for the extra protein. And then I add other stuff. Making oatmeal with milk instead of water boosts the protein content.
Yes, there are carbs in oatmeal. Oatmeal is not something that should be eaten everyday. A couple times a week for breakfast is what I do. I bump the protein considerably first. And it isn't that all carbs are bad. Fruit, veggies and small amounts of whole grains are good. I prefer to get my carbs from fruit, veggies and dairy and a bit of whole grains.
This oatmeal was suggested to me by the nutritionist in the program I was in, in NYC where I had my surgery. Every program is different, so if you are unsure talk to your surgeon, doctor, and nutritionist. There are no stupid questions, only questions that go unanswered!
Enjoy Terri!
P.S - It is my understanding that in regards to adding unflavored protein powder to oatmeal, soup and other hot items, the powder needs to be added when the item is luke warm so that it doesn't get clumpy... don't reheat to make the item hot after adding powder!
