This is excellent recipe! :)

Fish Pouch Plus

34 Proteins 1 Fats 2 Carbs

This is an entire seafood meal in a pouch. No muss no fuss. When finished eating just toss pouch in trash with no cleanup!! ( This recipe may seem lenghty, but it's really a breeze.). Notice in directions I am using mostly frozen products ie fish and veggies for convenience and savings!!

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: Approximately 40 minutes
  • Servings: 1

Ingredients

--,1. 3 oz portion of fish (your choice ie: cod,tilapia, salmon etc)

--1 oz shrimp. (approx 3 shrimp)

--1 oz crabmeat ( lump or claw meat)

--sweet potato slices (approx 10 slices. I use my mandolin to slice VERY thin)

--summer squash(4 slices. I use frozen sliced squash)

--zucchini (3 slices. I use frozen sliced zucchini)

-- roasted red pepper ( optional, makes for a nice color contrast, or you can use fresh or frozen red, green or yellow bell peppers)

-- 1/2oz slivered almonds ( optional, if you don't mind the added protein)

-- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

--balsamic vinegar (optional)

--1piece of parchment paper 15" wide by 18" long. (you can also use foil wrap if you don't have parchment paper)

Directions

Just a note: for this recipe I keep bags of indivually packaged frozen tilapia and salmon. The tilapia is pre-weighed in 3oz portion and salmon in 4 oz portions. I always keep a bag of frozen shrimp handy so I can just take out the few I need. You can also buy frozen white lump crabmeat for the savings and convenience.( When I use cod I buy fresh.) This makes for a very quick and healthy meal in just minutes.

I SEASON EVERYTHING IN THE POUCH WITH OLD BAY SEAFOOD SEASONING. You can use any seasonings you wish.

--Lay out parchment paper on counter ( I put something on all four corners to keep it flat or it will roll up on you).

--place your sweet potatoes in a line in the center of the paper.Then in layers place the squash, zucchini,fish,shrimp,crab and red pepper.

-- drizzle olive oil over all the above

-- splash with balsamic vinegar to give an added zing to dish

Now for the sealing of the pouch: fold over the top of the parchment paper and fold down to make flat. Then roll the sides to make a sealed pouch.

-- transfer pouch to baking sheet

--cook at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes

-- place pouch on plate and open carefully. Eat from pouch to enjoy all of the great juices inside.

When finished simply throw pouch away and you have little or no cleanup!!

Coach's Note: Please add one Protein if you use nuts.

This sounds great! It's still too much food for me (I'm only about 5 weeks out), so I would probably only eat about 1/2 of it. But that means more left-overs for the next day!

I'll give it a try on the weekend! Thanks!

I was wondering why you have the Protein at 5 grams. 3 oz of talapia contains 22 grams of Protein, 1 oz of shrimp has about 6 grams and the same for the crab according to myfitnesspal. I eat seafood all of the time and it is such a great protein. Knowing this makes this recipe even better...nearly 34 grams of protein, or 17 if you can only eat half a portion.

It sounds delicious!!!

Wow that sounds yummy! I'm a band to sleever, surgery scheduled on July 5th. Can you email the recipe to me? Or is there an easier way to copy the info other than taking a lot of screen shots of the entire recipe?

My email is vhoke1@me.com.

Thanks in advance.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
