Prudent Princess

I love to get the most bang for my buck. Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I never settle. Whether it’s getting the most I can for my money, or the most I can for my calories (some days that means the most bulk for the least calories and it always means the most nutrition I can in ever meal) - I always aim for the most impact with the least output. So my goal with this blog is to pass on my tips and finds for saving money and calories one day at a time.

Oatmeal Add In

I love oatmeal but it doesnt always hold me over. I've found that Quaker's Weight Control is my favorite because of its combination of extra protein and fiber. Today I tried something a little different; I added half a scoop of vanilla protein powder to my oatmeal (and a little extra water) and it was delicious! Consistency wise it was hardly noticeable and the vanilla bean flavor of the protein powder was yummy. Definitely something someone else might want to try if you like oatmeal but need more protein.

Other great add ins for oatmeal (instant or from scratch) include:

canned pumpkin
ground flax seed
wheat bran
cinnamon
cocoa powder and splenda
raw nuts and/or dried fruit

Whats your favorite thing to add to oatmeal?
