Cream of Wheat

Ok... what makes cream of wheat taste good???  I have tried milk and water... I end up with a thick, tastless mass of goop.  It reminds me of the stuff that Oliver Twist was asking for seconds of.

ive never eaten cream of wheat but i purchased some for post op... but i also purchased some of the davinci sugar free syrups and im gonna add that in for flavor...i hope it taste ok.....ugh...boy....i hope its not gross but who knows it might be super yummy after surgery...??
 
so maybe some davinci syrups and some splenda or maybe even some crystal light sunrise...orange stuff...??? i dont know...

Kim,

SPLENDA BROWN SUGAR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Thank you Barb... thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Flavored extracts. There are SO many different flavors and they are pretty cheap. You can find them in the baking section at grocery stores or Walmart. My favorites so far are mint and almond. I mix them in my shakes, oatmeal, and even water.

I'll have to try the almond extract in cream of wheat- that sounds like it may make it tolerable! I never really cared for the stuff, but I also bought it for post-op- since we don't have a whole lot of choices in the beginning, I thought I would give it a try.

I love Cream of Wheat!  Add Splenda to sweeten, milk and butter flavored spray. Very yummy!!

I have that I like mine with splenda and milk, but you can also try coco wheats MMMMM my fav since a child and very low in sugars. Just make sure no lumps I was told.

Isn't there a LOT of carbs in CoCo Wheats??

Yeah 41gm per 1/3c but I figure it will go down good the first few wks till tummy heals more and I wont be eating enough for it to really matter that much at this time.
