Definitely eliminate the wheat bran ... it's not the great panacaea that cereal manufacturers would have us believe It inhibits the absorption of minerals, esp. calcium and iron, it still has 4g digestible carbs per ¼ cup, and tastes awful
OTOH, one ounce of natural unblanched almonds lightly toasted and coarsely chopped, has 3g digestible carbs, 5g protein and 15g monounsaturate fat. Adds a nice crunch, and tastes delicious.
I also add a scoop of low-carb protein powder (one scoop = 15g prot) .. improves the texture, and boosts the nutrition I prefer unflavoured, but you could use chocolate or banana .. whatever you like. The added protein gives a little more "staying power".
4 Tbsp flax meal
1 oz toasted almonds
1 scoop whey protein
1/2 c. not-quite-boiling water
dot vanilla, cinnamon
sweetener as desired
2 Tbsp heavy cream
