I got around to experimenting with upgrading my granola recipe last night, where I swapped out the small amount of flour with whey protein. (I wasn't sure how much strong the whey protein taste would be, so instead of a 1 to 1 swap of flour for whey, I used half whey, half almond meal for a first try.)
It's good! I'd give some macro amounts, but I don't have high confidence in my final measurements (and Loseit won't accept 950 grams as a valid measurement, anyway
). My rough calcs suggest that it might be around 15c for 1/4 cup, with a few grams fiber, but who knows. That might be too high for you, Reilly - but your own granola might still be an option. I sweeten with maple syrup, which adds quite a few carbs. I'll have to try again once I've eaten this batch and see if 100% whey is palatable to me. I'm thrilled, though - it's a great improvement over the homemade granola I've been eating! And crazy cheap. 
Okay that sounds kinda interesting but am i missing something? Whey protein and almond flour and that's it? Sounds yummy.Originally Posted by Desiderata
Reilly, did you settle up on a new alternative? I got around to experimenting with upgrading my granola recipe last night, where I swapped out the small amount of flour with whey protein.

i went back to a Tablespoon (heaping) of slivered almonds, i just have to have that crunch in my yogurt and even though i wish it was less calories, the carb count is good and i can't really think of anything else. The chia seeds sounded good but they're not THAT much less in calories than almonds, but idk, maybe enough!
