Hot Chocolate Bran Cereal

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Remember Cocowheats? Here’s a chocolate hot cereal for the kid in you, from Diana Lee’s Bread and Breakfast: Baking Low Carb II.

Yield: 1 serving. With the lowest-carb cocoa mix, this has 17 grams of carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber, for a total of 8 grams of usable carbs and 20 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup toasted wheat bran
  • 1 envelope low-carb, sugar-free hot chocolate mix
  • 1/4 cup vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground almonds
  • 1/3 cup water

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Whisk the wheat bran, hot chocolate mix, whey protein powder, and ground almonds together in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Add the water and stir until combined.
  3. Microwave on full power for 30 seconds, then stir.
  4. Microwave for another 30 seconds (microwave longer for a thicker consistency), then serve with cream.
