Chia Seeds And Powdered Peanut Butter!



Recommended Posts

You can make Chia seed pudding. I have only made vanilla, but you can make chocolate too! If you google it, you can find recipes. Mine is 1 cup almond milk (you can use any milk though), 2 TBSP chia seeds, vanilla extract and sweetener to taste (torani syrups, splenda, whatever you fancy), let set in the fridge (I usually leave mine overnight). The Chia seeds absorb the liquid and it becomes kind of like tapioca (the seeds still have a little texture though). Very filling snack!

PB2 is delicious! You can get plain or chocolate. You can add it to shakes (chocolate PB shake, mmm). You can also add to almost anything you want a Peanut Butter taste (greek yogurt, Protein pancakes, Protein ice cream, pudding).

I have a Breville Juicer and I put a tablespoon of Chia seeds in my juice, put juice in a mason jar & let the Chia seeds sit in juice until I get to work. Chia seeds are gelotanous, meaning they absorb liquid and supposed to be wonderful for your digestive system as well as a good source of Omega 3, 6 and I think they have a good amount of Protein (not sure though). I like them way better than Flax seeds. Supposedly they are a better source of your Omegas than Flax and they don't go rancid and they don't have a taste. They absorb the flavor of whatever food you put them in!

I use the powdered Peanut Butter in a soy shake with a few pieces of frozen banana. I like it and it blends way better than real peanut butter.

You can add Chia seeds to green protien smoothies and it gives it a really fresh good taste.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
