I love oatmeal, but my blood sugar doesn't, so I will be trying this!

Grain-Free Hot Cereal
Yield: Serves 1
Ingredients

2 tbsp chia seed
2 tbsp flax seed meal
2 tsp erythritol (I used Swerve Sweetener)
1/3 cup hot water
2 tbsp heavy cream (optional)
2 tbsp nut butter (optional)
Berries (optional)
Instructions

1.In a small bowl, stir together chia seed, flax seed meal, and erythritol.
2.Add hot water, stir and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
3.Stir in cream, nut butter, berries, raisins, chopped nuts...whatever floats your boat.
Notes

Serves 1. Each serving (without optional stir-ins) has a total of 18 g of carbs and 18 g of fiber. Whoa, that's a lot of fiber! Total NET CARBS = 0 g.

    I'm not a big oatmeal lover (expect oatmeal cookies of course) but I'm going to try this recipe. That is a lot of fiber! I will try with berries. Thanks for the recipe!

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting the recipe. Can you please update as to how it affected your glucose level? I love oatmeal for breakfast, and I am currently using http://www.netrition.com/sensato_high_fiber_hot_cereal.html

    But I would love to make my own instead.

    Thanks again, and I look forward to reading your response.

    It's good!! I will have to do this at home and let you know about the glucose. I don't bring my meter to work.

    Hello,

    Just following up to see, if you had a chance to test your glucose after eating that breakfast recipe and how the results were?

    Thanks again.

    Well, I had to save it for only occasional use, I needed to drop my carbs way lower, and this has 18.
