TVP is a product made from soy flour. It can be purchased in a dry form or in large clumps. It is then usually rehydrated when cooking. The flavor is neutral, so it take on the flavor of the other ingredients. It can be considered a meat substitute because it is high in protein. It is relatively high in fiber, and is low in fat and carbohydrates. You may also substitute it instead of rice or other high-carb food in casseroles. Those allergic should remember this is a soy product.
It makes a great low carb cereal.

1 quart unsweetened soy milk
2 Cups TVP granules
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla
You can always adjust the ingredients in your low carb cereal to your taste.You may also consider whisking in some eggs to make it more like rice pudding.
Mix all ingredients in the appropriate container.
In the crockpot it should be cooked in about 2 – 4 hours, depending on the heat setting.
In the oven cook for approximately 1 hour at 350 F.
On the stovetop bring it to boil, and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If you include unsweetened soy milk and liquid sweeteners (zero carbs), this recipe represents about 36 ECC and will produce 6-10 bowls of  low carb “oatmeal” and will be a nice little low carb cereal.
