Cream of Wheat ?????

I am a little confused about the whole Cream of Wheat thing. Maybe it is the instant packets that I bought, but there is not a lot of benefit to cream of wheat. There are 17 grams of carbs and 3 grams of protein in mine and that is all. Do you have something different in yours? There are no vitamins or anything really. Am I missing the big picture? Thanks!

I add half of scoop or so vanilla or natural protein powder so it ups the protein. Plus I make it with Carb Countdown fat free milk instead of water which adds more protein. That would add about 25 grams of protein on average depending on the amount of protein powder added. It tastes yummy with these extras to so thats a real plus Karen

Hi! I make my cream of wheat w/ a double milk..(1/3 c of nonfat dry milk added to 1 cup of milk) this really ups the protien and makes it nice and creamy....add a little cinnimon and I good to go... Nice to meet you all...

I use quick cream of wheat and make it with 1% milk instead of water. That's what gives me the protein. Sometimes I just want something warm going down to the pouch.

The surgeon gave that as a suggestion because it will be easy on your new pouch. Jello has no nutritional value either but suggested because the consistancy is easy to digest. Anything to get you thru the soft foods stage I guess. Dana
