Our wonderful nutritionist recommended a fortified oatmeal to eat at work for SECOND BREAKFAST. So I made up a mix using quick oats, powdered milk, craisins, brown sugar (I make my own out of white sugar and molasses), and walnuts.
I ground it all up and put it in a baggie and it get's mixed and nuked at work!
I found several variations for this fortified oatmeal and am going back to find out what the calorie/protein count is....
Mayo Clinic's Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-recipes/RE00035
215 Calories, 40 carbs, 6 gm protein and four servings. I use a scoop from the protein powder, about 1/3 cup to portion it out. I will have to figure out if I'm overfeeding...He says it takes him a long time. I told him one hour per meal is enough! 5 Minutes between bites is INSANE!

Of course there are other ingredients to swap out... gogi berries (found at Sunflower store in Scottsdale), raisins, dried Blueberries, cashews, peanuts, dried plums, dried apricots, dried papaya, orange peel zest, lemon peel zest, lime peal zest.... And if I add different flavorings...
And by the way... snoop around these sites for other good ideas!
