High Protein Cream of Wheat

Rachel and cream of wheat is all over my “for you” page on Tik Tok, so had to try. She adds milk, butter, sugar, and cinnamon. It’s such a porridge and 3 bears🧸🥣vibe to me and looks cozy. So I had to make it happen but of course in my Peachie balance because I don’t want to add egg or protein on the side but make this a cozy filling meal that keeps me feeling my best. I did try to add a fiber source like husk or flaxseed but didn’t enjoy the texture or flavor as much so this is my favorite recipe so far. 

If you’re new to cream of wheat, it does contain gluten, plenty of sodium, and not much fiber or protein to keep my blood sugar stable so I’m tweaking mine for a Peachie balance. Cream of wheat does contain iron, B vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin, and folate. There’s cream of rice for the gf folks too! 

INGREDIENTS

1 c milk of choice (used unsweetened almond)

3 T cream of wheat

1/3 c liquid egg whites 

dash of salt 

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

1 serving The Peachie Spoon Vanilla Protein Powder

1 T butter (topping)

STEPS

1) In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, pour in milk and bring to a boil. Add cream of wheat and salt and reduce heat to low. 

2)Whisk frequently if you don’t want clumps but some love it more clumpy. Whatever you prefer. Now add 1/3 c liquid egg whites and whisk frequently to prevent scrambled eggs from happening. 

3)Keep whisking and let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes or until it reaches your desired thickness.

4)Remove from heat, stir in protein powder, cinnamon, and top with butter, and let it sit to melt in and enjoy! So cozy. This recipe makes one serving
