Yummy protein find from Costco



Recommended Posts

I found these Morning Star chipotle black bean burgers at costco. They are delish! 17 gram of Protein, 190 calories, 7 grams of fat, 22 carb. I heated mine up in a pan, but they can be grilled or baked too. Next time I will add a dollop of sour cream and a wedge of avocado. They crumble up pretty easily, so at 5 weeks post-op, it's the perfect soft food.

How spicy are they?

They have a kick to them but I wouldn't consider them spicy or hot. As far as what I'm eating 5 weeks out, I seem to have a stomach of steel that tolerates anything. I try to get 650 - 750 calories in a day consisting of 70-90 grams of Protein, and as minimal carbs and fat as possible. I avoid bread and most carbs like the plague. I experimented once or twice to prove that they just slide through my pouch and I'm soon hungry again. I haven't had a stall yet... I'm wondering if my consistent high protein levels have anything to do with it?

I found something good at costco today too! I bought a bag of hemp hearts. They're kind of a cross between a sesame seed and a sunflower seed. Super high in Protein and Omega 3&6. I bought them to use in granola bars for the kids, but I think they'll be great in yogurt too. They're really small and not super crunchy (like a nut would be) so they might even mix into Protein Shakes. Made me feel like a bit of a hippy to buy those and coconut flour ;)
