Apple Oatmeal “Cookie Dough”

I have a love hate relationship with Costco.  One one hand, they carry fantastic products, have a great return policy and serve yummy Kosher hotdogs.  On the other hand, it is always so crowded, too many products = sensory overload, and they serve gigantic fatty Kosher hotdogs.  This weekend I found these yummy little apple crisps.

Cinnamon Apple Chips by Bare Fruit Snacks.  Yummy!  Every once in a while, I crave something crunchy and carrots or celery just doesn’t cut it. And potato chips are dangerous and not exactly the healthiest choice better saved for a sane meal/day (free meal).  But these little apple thingys really satisfied that crunchy craving.  (Maybe a little too much!)  The best part about these little guys is the ingredient list: organic apples and organic cinnamon. Sweet! The company also states that they are slow baked at low temperatures which is good b/c that preserves more of the nutrients. I used them in my after my workout snack/meal and it tasted liked cookie dough.

Apple Oatmeal “Cookie Dough”

1/2 Slow Cook Oats
1/2 Cup Water
1/8 Cup Crushed Apple Chips
Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder 

I always make my oatmeal on the stove by boiling equal amounts of water to oats.  Once it reaches a boil, I stir in the oats, turn off the heat, and cover.  I don’t like mushy oatmeal and find this makes the best consistency.
