300 15-Minute Low-Carb Recipes (63 page)

Okay, so this has its own chapter because it doesn't fit in with anything else. But it's a great recipe, and I think a lot of people will find it useful, so it deserves its own chapter!

Almond-Coconut Hot Cereal

I've heard from many people who long for hot cereal on cold mornings. Here's a fast, creamy, and very filling breakfast for all you oatmeal-lovers. It has more protein than three eggs and far more fiber than oatmeal.

2 tablespoons (14 g) almond meal

2 tablespoons (14 g) flax seed meal

1 tablespoon (8 g) vanilla whey protein powder

1 tablespoon (5 g) finely shredded coconut meat

1 pinch salt

1 tablespoon (15 g) almond butter

1/3 cup (80 ml) boiling water

Spoon the almond meal, flax seed meal, vanilla whey protein, coconut, and salt into a bowl and stir together. Add the almond butter and pour in the boiling water. Stir until the almond butter is melted in. Serve with cream or half and half and sweetener of your choice.

Yield:
1 serving, with 379 calories, 25 grams fat, 27 grams protein, 19 grams carbohydrate, 10 grams dietary fiber, and 9 grams usable carb.

is a best-selling author and radio host who was startled to discover that limiting her carbohydrate intake not only helped her control her weight, but also produced the health and vitality a low-fat diet had promised but never delivered. More than fifteen years later, she laughs at people who say “You can't eat that way long-term.” Her nine cookbooks are the result of her realization that the key to permanent dietary change is the answer to the age-old question, “What's for supper?” To date they have sold over a million copies worldwide. Dana blogs about low-carb nutrition at

; her weekly blog digest goes out to over 20,000 readers. She is also managing editor of
CarbSmart Magazine
at
