Looks Good! Trying today!
Going to make this tonight- any idea what the aprox protein count per serving is? This is great for pregnancy when you need a significantly higher amt. of protein. Thanks!

Lightly sweet, high protein energy cereal!!
I make this cereal once a week. Love it! Great way to get some extra protein (my husband and I both lift weights) Keeps you full all morning and gives me loads of energy for a great workout. I tweaked it a bit - I use almond extract instead of vanilla, add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and use 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Perfect recipe for customizing your favorite breakfast ingredients.
