Protein Cream of Wheat
This recipe actually works really well if you want to make it the night before. You can reheat it, or you can just eat it cold (which is actually how I like to eat it, because I’m down with the #strangebutgood). It’s so simple, but #satisfactionfactor10. What you need: 1 packet of the 100 calorie original flavor…
