OATMEAL AND WHEY



1 c rolled oats

1 c low-fat milk

1/2 c berries (fresh or frozen, your choice of berries)

Dash of salt

Dash of ground cinnamon

Splenda to taste

1 scoop (28 g) vanilla whey-protein powder



Combine the oats and milk in a large bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional minute. Mix in the berries, salt, cinnamon, and Splenda. Let the oatmeal cool slightly, then stir in the protein powder. (Very hot oatmeal can damage protein powder, causing it to lump and sour.) Makes 1 serving

FRENCH TOAST WITH WHIPPED FRUIT TOPPING

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

6 slices whole-grain bread



To make the whipped topping, blend the cottage cheese, the Splenda, and ½ c of the blueberries on high for 30 seconds, or until smooth and creamy. Then set it aside. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Soak the bread one slice at a time until it's saturated with liquid, then grill it over medium-high heat on a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray until lightly browned on both sides. Serve with the whipped fruit topping and put the remaining blueberries on top. Makes 2 servings
