Crazy Healthy Cereal


A recipe for when you just wanna eat something!

Have you ever sat up at night, unable to sleep because you are flat out starving but you already had your daily calorie allowance?  Well fear those long restless nights no more because this bowl of cereal will fill you up and calorie wise, is NBD.
It is composed of 3 simple ingredients, and it is A LOT food.   Seriously, it’s like your splurging but you aren’t.  Plus it has two awesome qualities - FIBER and VOLUME!

The three ingredients are:
1/4 cup fiber one cereal (the original kind)
2 cups puffed kamat (or if you can’t find that puffed wheat or puffed rice will suffice)
2/3 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (this is a low cal STAPLE, it is 40 calories per cup and so much more delicious than regular milk)
Directions - Put all three ingredients in a bowl, then eat it.
Stats!
157 calories, 2.51g of fat (fat comes from the almond milk, so it’s GOOD fat), 35.84g carbs, 11.67g fiber,  6g protein, 0g sugar!
These impressive stats make it perfect for late night, pre workout, or to hold you over until your next meal.
I realize that this is kind of a bland bowl of cereal.  If you’re really that much of a picky eater then you can jazz it up by adding some splenda, berries, cinnamon or even a drizzle of honey if you’re feeling it.
