Salsa Scrambled Eggs With Peppers And Onions



Recommended Posts

I came across this recipe online while searching for high Protein pureed recipes and thought I would share. It says it makes one serving though it seems to me it might be on the large side based on the quantity of ingredients, and it is a bit high in calories but it does sound delicious. I'm excited to try it.

Salsa Scrambled eggs with Peppers and Onions

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1⁄2 medium raw green pepper

1⁄4 medium raw onion

1⁄4 c salsa

2 tbsp. whole milk mixed with 4 tbsp dry milk

2 tsp. vegetable oil

Instructions:

Clean and chop pepper and onion into small pieces; puree in food processor; set aside. Puree salsa & set aside in a separate bowl. Combine eggs and milk in a bowl; mix with a fork until blended. Heat 1 tsp of oil in medium frying pan. Sauté’ mixture into pan and mix constantly with wooden spoon (goal is to scramble eggs). Remove from heat when eggs are thoroughly cooked (not runny). Pour salsa over scrambled eggs and ENJOY!!!

I do the same type of recipe but use one, maybe two eggs, fat free milk and use Pam instead of the oil, way less calories and still tastes fabulous! I sometimes throw a couple tbsp's of grated cheese too, even a dollup of fat free sour cream.....yummy! It doesnt have as much Protein but way less fat.

Those are great suggestions to modify the recipe. I will have to try them!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
