Default Delicious substitute for a bowl of cereal

I love this simple quick idea for breakfast, snack or dessert when I'm wanting something sweet and crunchy. Tastes better than any low carb cereal!

Just put a half cup of walnuts in a bowl with a tablespoon or so of butter - microwave 30 seconds or until the butter is melted, then stir in some granular splenda and cinnamon, and eat with a spoon.

A half cup of walnuts is 8 g carbs, 4 g fiber, or 4 net carbs plus however much splenda.
Plus, a half cup of walnuts contains about 4.5 g of Omega 3 fatty acids!

After I read this recipe I immediately went to the kitchen and made some! I'm not a cinnamon fan so I left it out and used stevia for sweetener. YUMMY

I messed with this, as I was looking for a substitute for my favourite snack that I used to make with popcorn. Sooo...I thought I would try it with the walnuts--delicious!! I use your recipe, but instead of cinnamon, I add in salt, chili powder and parmesan cheese. Salty, sweet and spicy...yumm, yumm...

Sliced almonds, flaked unsweetened coconut and walnuts, topped with cream or half & half, and a sprinkling of Splenda is a good substitute for cold cereal in the morning...and it doesn't take much to satisfy!

Sorry to get back to you so late. I can't say exactly because I don't have any of the ingredients yet this time around(just finishing induction...again). If you know what the carbs counts are for one serving of each, and know how many carbs you can have, just go by that. I'm pretty sure I used a tablespoon of each, a packet of splenda and drizzled a little cream mixed with a little water over it. It doesn't seem like much, but it's very rich and takes a lot of chewing to finish it. This is how it satisfies me...I crave the crunch! I usually store nuts and coconut in the fridge and this "cereal" is excellent very cold. I'll try to find the carb counts and post them.

Ok, according to the Atkins carb counter, the net carbs for 1oz of almonds: 2.6, 1oz of coconut: 2.3, 1oz of walnuts: 2.0. I did find an almost empty bag of chopped walnuts deep in the fridge, and 1oz = 1/4 cup, so that's quite a good portion. I think that's why I started using just a tablespoon of each. But even if you used an ounce of each, your still at about 7 net carbs(there's a lot of fiber going on here) before your sweetener and cream/milk. So again, the amount you have depends on the amount of carbs you're allowed at your current phase.
