October 2008 Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal 3/4 cup low-fat milk (or soy or almond milk) 6 Tbsp water 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats Pinch of cinnamon Pinch of nutmeg 1/8 cup (2 Tbsp) canned pumpkin 1/8 cup (2 Tbsp) sliced almonds Sweetener or artificial sweetener as needed/or not 1/8 cup water 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (equal to about 14 grams protein) In a small pot, bring milk and water to a boil over medium heat. Add oats, cinnamon and nutmeg. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once liquid is absorbed, stir in pumpkin, almonds and sweetner (if desired); set aside. Combine water and protein powder in a separate bowl. Mix with a fork until protein is dissolved. For a smoother consistency, mix power with water in a blender. Pour protein mixture over oatmeal and serve.
