   Awesome recipe!  THANK YOU!!! I made a slightly lower calorie version (and didnt have any whey powder) with 1 packet Sturm Whole Grain Oatmeal, 2 packets Truvia natural no sugar sweetener, 1 tablespoon Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter and 1 Tablespoon of Hersheys Special Dark Cocoa.  Tasted just like I was eating cookie dough out of the bowl again!  210 calories, 10g fat, 8g protein.  Got me through a wicked cardio session this morning!
