What can I do with...berries?



Recommended Posts

We have a health food co-op in a nearby city that I have been meaning to find. There was a post on the Internet the other day that they were having a sale on fresh raspberries so it gave me an excuse to find it.

Now, I have quite a few raspberries (most of which are in the freezer).

They have been delicious added to my yogurt.

Other than Protein Shakes, what are some good, easy, healthy ways that you use fresh berries (especially raspberries)?

Quickies: Make a smoothie with some 1% milk and artificial sweetener, raspberry SF Jello w/some low fat whipped topping and raspberries on top, throw some in your oatmeal or on top of a nice mixed greens salad.

There are plenty of recipes out there on the internet; also others you can substitute raspberries for.

I love raspberries. I wonder if you could puree and then freeze them for a lovely Italian Ice type treat. Or (I have seen this when blueberries, not sure if it will work with raspberries) but coat them in yogurt and then freeze them and they are lovely little yogurt covered berry treats? Can't wait to see what ideas people come up with. I need to go find a farmers market..

I put a recipe for a berry smoothie at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf I love the stuff and the grandkids make numerous visits just to get some of it.

I'm making a blackberry balsamic chicken tonight. You might be able to do the same with raspberries. Found the recipe on Pinterest.

I like to mash raspberries into PB2 and lick it from a spoon as a treat. Yum!

Somebody may have already mentioned this, but a simple delicious treat for me (one that even my kids like) is to buy fresh organic blueberries, stick them in the freezer overnight, then just pull them out and eat them as Snacks. They don't freeze like a rock, as some fruits do, and they are a wonderful and super-healthy snack.....and it literally takes seconds to make...lol.

Or if you have a juicer that has a "blank screen" attachment, you can run the frozen berries through that, along with a frozen banana and have a 100% fruit sorbet....also delicious...and healthy!

      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.
