1 scoop French vanilla Designer Whey protein powder*
2 tbsp wheat bran
15 grams almonds, measured then ground
½ cup water
1 tbsp flax seed, measured then ground
2 tbsp vanilla, French vanilla or caramel sugar-free syrup
2 tbsp half + half
Grind the almonds in a coffee grinder and set aside; ditto the flax seed. This can be done safely up to 48 hours before preparation.
Combine the protein powder, bran, ground almonds and water in a large microwave-safe bowl; whip vigorous with a whisk – there should be no lumps. Microwave uncovered for 50-75 seconds. Remove from microwave; mixture should look somewhat cake-y. Stir in the ground flax seed, half + half, syrup, and more warm water if a thinner porridge is preferred.
Serves 1 @ 6 points with 26 g protein and 9 g of fiber! Only 5 points with fat-free half & half!
* = Designer Whey can be purchased at both GNC and Trader Joe's.
