Low Calorie Cranberry Orange Oatmeal

This Low Calorie Cranberry Orange Oatmeal is the perfect way to use up leftover holiday cranberry sauce! But if you don't have any, you can swap it out for 2 tablespoons dried cranberries and cook them in with the oatmeal and liquid.

I like to zest the orange and then juice it. I add the orange juice to a glass measuring cup and then top off the remaining required liquid with water or almond milk.

Special Tip: You can easily boost the protein by adding in some protein powder with the oatmeal.
