Default Tvp

I Found a recipe online for a TVP hot cereal
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 hours, 00 minutes
Ingredients:

* 2 C TVP granules
* 1 quart unsweetened soy milk (can use coconut milk or other milk)
* 1 T cinnamon
* 1 t nutmeg
* 1 1/2 T vanilla
* Or adjust the above seasonings to your taste
* Sweetener to taste
* Optional: Whisk in eggs. 4 eggs makes it more like rice pudding.

Preparation:
Mix all ingredients in crockpot, large saucepan/Dutch oven, or large covered casserole dish (be careful about this - when I tested it in the oven, it overflowed).

Cooking Times

Crockpot/Slow Cooker: It will be cooked in about 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low, but you can let it go longer and it won't hurt it.
Oven: About 1 hour at 350 F.
Stovetop: Bring to boil, then simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally - you should know by looking when it's done.

Carb Count: Assuming unsweetened soy milk and liquid sweeteners (zero carbs), the entire recipe has about 36 ECC and makes about 6-10 bowls of "oatmeal", depending upon the size.

What do you guys think?
has anyone tried it? just in general not necessarily as cereal

Sounds like a really good source of protein. I haven't tried it though. I would certainly like to. This would be really good for people craving oatmeal on phase 1.

Textured vegetable protein, you can get it at health food stores and specialty markets. It's pretty inexpensive as compared to meat, it takes on the flavor of what you cook it with.
