Low Carb Diet Recipe: Maggie’s Breakfast Cereal

Description

An easy, delicious, less expensive, version of flax-o-meal.

Ingredients

• 16 oz Flax Meal
• 16 oz soy protien isoloate
• 16 oz coarse unprocessed wheat bran

Instructions

It just happens that the brand of flax meal and bran which I buy come in 16 oz bags and the isolate comes in a 16 oz canister. You can make a smaller batch, just make sure you use equal parts by weight – not by volume.

Mix ‘em up in a big bowl till everything’s blended and store in an airtight container (like tupperware, or heavy duty ziplocks) in the fridge. Flax and flax meal should always be refrigerated, since they have oils which would go rancid over time, if not kept cool.

In the morning put about 1/3 to 1/2 a cup into a bowl and add boiling water while stirring until it’s the consistency you like.

Add cream, splenda and whatever else strikes your fancy and fits into your current carb allowance: vanilla, nuts, fruit, davinci syrup, cocoa, etc. Have a different flavor every time!

This generally yeilds about 30 1/2 cup servings.

Carb counts are for the cereal mix, alone. Remember to add the numbers for whatever goodies you use!

Notes

*(NOTE: Do not use soy flour – it would be dreadful. Soy protein isolate is an unflavored product. Read the label. It should have only one ingredient “soy protein isolate.” The many soy powders and/or soy protein powders would probably work just fine in this recipe, but you must adjust the carb count based on whatever product you choose.)

** New Note: If you don’t have a scale, the following ratio gives pretty much the same result: 1 cup SPI, 1 1/2 cups WB, 3/4 cup flax meal.
