[Aya]

What's for breakfast tommorow everyone?

I'm excited, went out and bought ingredients for this:

Homemade Granola
1 Cup Textured Vegetable Protein
1 t. cinnamon
2 T. Splenda
1/2 Cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 Cup chopped Pecans
1/2 Cup chopped almonds or mac nuts

Combine the Textured Vegetable Protein, cinnamon, splenda in a plastic or glass container large enough to hold all the ingredients.

Toast the coconut, and nuts in a skillet until the coconut turns golden brown. Let cool.

Add toasted nut mixture to granule mixture,add lid and shake to mix.

10 servings of 1/4 cup each, 9 gr. carbs and 6 gr. fiber, total count 3 usuable carbs per serving and 17 gr. of protein.

Can't wait!!

It was de-LISH-ous!! Crunchy and yummy, and had it with 1/2 a cup of unsweetened soy milk (.5g net carbs)
I'd love to post a photo to show you but at the moment can't quite work out how to do that...give me a little time

Re: homemade granola

Mmm I'm going to try this too!
We've been making our own just using roughly ground up nuts mixed with butter, splenda and cinnamon... But I want it to stick together some. A friend suggested I try egg whites before I bake it...
Anyway, this sounds delish!

Re: homemade granola

I can really really recommend and sorry I can't work out the photo thing, I tried loading them on a site and tagging that site but didn't seem to work out.
Only problem is I realised I like it a bit too much and it keeps distracting me during the day calling for me to go and have a spoonful. I had some of that TVP stuff over and found a recipe for tacos you make with it. So easy, just retexture it with water (2cups water to 2 cups TVP), and add a packet of taco flavoring. I wrapped it in lettuce, quick, simple, low cal, low carb, high fiber. yum!
