skinnyginny 128 Posted March 31, 2013 I am just over 3 weeks post op and still in the soft & mushy phase. I found two new recipes this week that are super yummy and loaded with Protein.< /p> banana bread shake 1 scoop of vanilla Protein Powder 1/2 cup skim milk 1/2 Water 1/8 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon oats 1/2 large or one small banana (I freeze mine) 6 ice cubes Coming from someone who literally gags down Protein Shakes each morning, I was super happy to find this! 1 pound ground turkey 4 tablespoons of taco seasoning (I buy this in the huge jar from Costco) I think this is also equivalent to one taco seasoning packet, but not sure 1 can of refried Beans Shredded cheddar cheese Cook up the turkey and drain all of the juice. Add the seasoning mix and set aside. In a bowl, put the refried beans and stir it up so it is spoon’able. Spoon the turkey into 10 Glad mini round containers (1/2 cup size), or whatever you want to store it in. Spoon on top of that the refried beans. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, pop the lid on and into the fridge they go. When ready to eat, pop one into the microwave for about a minute, and voila! Super yummy! 1 kalee76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 296 Posted April 2, 2013 So I just started full liquids today. I tried some plain Greek yogurt dressed up with some Splenda, vanilla extract and cinnamon. It was quite tasty! (at least I think so) I haven't been okayed to start Protein Drinks yet so it was nice to have something with some Protein in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pianomom 34 Posted April 3, 2013 Tried microwaved cheese the other day...tastes like cheese crackers! Cut 2% sharp cheese stick into 1 inch pieces and place on microwavable plate. Microwave on high for a minute or minute, 15 seconds (depending on microwave). When you take a knife and scrape it off the plate, it will break up into pieces and taste like cheese crackers. Delicious!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeeIsMe2 508 Posted May 14, 2013 They are more of a texture thing when they are cooked this way, very mild taste that's why I suggest extra firm and dry frying.. After you do this part then you can marinade them they will soak up any flavor! The ones I cooked today the family just munched on plain and with hummus. And it's ok to go slow eating take your time and just introduce one new thing at a time, tofu may be not be on your menu for a couple of more weeks.. I really like the idea of these with hummus -- I love hummus, but didn't know what to eat it with. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can't weight 8 Posted August 14, 2013 My 3 favorite go-to's lately are turkey Jerky (13 grams Protein per ounce), tilapia filet (26 grams Protein per filet) and soy nuts (roughly 11 grams protein per ounce). I really try to maximize my itty bitty sleeve with the most protein I can get in. In between those I do nutriblasts (shakes with nutribullet) to get my fruits and veggies. I thought about doing just that with my Nutribullet. I have to get some veggies in somehow and I think doing the shakes with veggies, a bit of fruit to add better flavor and some Water are the way to go. Do you have any favorite recipes?
