researchmaven,
I have to admit that your cereal ideas, respectfully, sound gross 🤢.
Hey, if it works for you, that's all that counts 😋 is the plantain flour, gluten free? If it is, would you share a simple recipe I could try.. once I get my nausea from my surgery under control. ShelleyW

You are funny!

Yes, the plantain flour is gluten-free. A plantain is like an unsweet banana.

For a recipe, try 1/4 cup plantain flour (consider LiveKuna as it has a sweet taste and a whole-grain style appeal, and some brands have an off-taste), 2 T+ pea protein isolate, 1 cup Lactaid milk, 1/3 to 1/2 cup egg whites (you can buy a quart or pint of these), salt and your favorite sweetener and flavorings (vanilla, and more exotics like butterscotch or brandy; cocoa powder are nice), I can flavor it with a bit of pureed fruit, like blueberries.

I add 1/2 teaspoon chia powder for fiber, although the plantain flour has some. For fat, I eat a brazil nut and a walnut along side or I add a bit of coconut oil to my cereal.

Feel free to experiment. I just made up this recipe on the spot as I do not measure anything. It is hard to mess it up. You justif the egg whites still sound unappetizing, you can skip them; same for the protein powder. Protein is important though, especially to heal a difficult/inflamed gut, and egg whites are easy to digest.

I avoid commerical, blended protein powder as there is likely something in it that doesn't agree with me. I am also a "fruit and granola" person that likes to eat (and now needs to) as "purely" as I can, although everything but water in my "recipe" is processed.
