OT...great product alert! (oatmeal & cookies)

I have always loved oatmeal!  After the DS a lot of the "commercial" brands with the added flavors were not a good choice.  I found Active Lifestyle instant oatmeal "weight control" at my local grocery store.  

It comes in 3 flavors:  
Almond Cranberry (my favorite)
Raisin, Apple, & Walnut
Maple Brown Sugar & Pecan

They average about 20 net carbs a serving (I know not the best) but they also pack 8 grams of protein!  Perfect for that guilt-free oatmeal craving!  On the plus side, it is easy on the digestive system...at least it has been for me compared to other things.

Bonus!  Occasionally I like to experiment in the kitchen.  I made some oatmeal cookies!  Not bad...my first try to make them.

2 packets of oatmeal 
1 large scoop of vanilla whey protein powder  (52 grams a scoop)
2/3 cup water
dash of cinnamon

I lightly sprayed a cookie sheet with canola oil and spooned out 10 cookies.  Put in a pre-heated 350 degree oven and checked them often.  They were done in about 10-12 minutes.  

These were not very sweet, perfect imo, but you may want to add sweetener if you like that. They are a great quick snack at almost 7 grams of protein each!  

Enjoy!
