I would say it depends on how soft and how moist the brownies turn out. I suppose you could always dunk them in some milk for a few seconds to let a little absorb to soften it in terms of texture similar ti adding a gravy to a drier meat. I would probably start with a bite or two and then wait just because that’s a few ingredients that I’m guessing you’ve never had. I’m not sure about cornstarch or Monkfruit (though I’ve never heard anyone complain about them) I was just told to introduce new food one at a time so that if you do have issues you know exactly what it was.

Am fine with Monkfruit. Same with chocolate flavour Protein. Was thinking of brownies with Protein Powder added maybe instead of cacao

That’s a good idea.

I don't know about brownies specifically, but unsweetened cocoa powder is fine. It's really low in calories. I often mix it into vanilla yogurt and throw some berries on top for a treat.

this is the best!! I use 1 part cacao bliss and 1 part coco powder.

Its a bit pricey but honestly is packed with so many good stuffs that its worth it. I put it in my coffee, I cook with it, all the things.

      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.
