I've been putting a scoop of vanilla protein powder in a cup along with some uncooked oats. Add a little fruit and maybe a few nuts. I personally have a hard time with artificial sweeteners--although I do have to put up with it in my protein powder. They ruin the taste of almost everything for me.

They actually have a 4th under the same name, same size cup and packaging, apple with fiber, but it has a bit higher sugar count. Vanilla is rather good I think. I add cinnamon to it. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

Tastes a bit like ice cream when cold and great source of casein protein for slow amino acid release. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
