Jazzing up that Broth



Recommended Posts

I am on clears this week and am already a little bored, so I started playing with my spices. I was told I can use any spices that dissolve. Yesterday, at lunch, I added a drop of soy sauce to my soy ginger broth (Trader Joe's) and tody I will add a dash of curry. Last night, I took my Rachel Ray's chicken broth and added about 1/8 tsp rubbed sage and about the same amount of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. It tasted a little like Thanksgiving to me. This morning, I added a dash of cinnimon to my chicken broth and it was good!

Any other ideas?

My favorite was the seasoning packets from Papa John's. DH loves pizza and always ordered it, so one day I was bored on liquids and poured a packet into my chicken broth. Makes it spicy and full of flavor, was great. It's little granules of flavor, so no chunks of anything. They don't give them to you just-so, you have to ask for them.. but they were free. So if someone in family orders pizza from there, have them get you some packets. Nom nom!

I have to say, I tok the broth package out of a thing of Top Ramen and added hot Water and a teaspoon of butter and it gave it a little more richness and was pretty doggone good.

Also, another trick I use is curry powder in cottage cheese with a little sea salt OR cottage cheese and low sodium soy sauce. Yummy!!

i would add some coconut milk and curry with a little lemon grass, boil, remove the lemon grass and drink up.

i also would add a little cornstarch if i wanted to thicken it up a bit...any broth really. oh and hot and sour Soup broth is yummy

      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.
