Bariatric Shakes and Food
on 1/30/14 1:24 pm - Canada
I buy whey isolate shakes from Popeye`s as you can return or exchange, even if opened, if you do not like the flavour. I buy soy protein powder from Lifestyles Health Food store; cheaper there. It is a good one to buy to mix into foods as it is unflavoured. Makes good Muffin in a Mug, or pancakes..... A mug in a muffin is....grease a coffee mug (spray works), drop in 1 egg, 1 scoop soy protein powder (whey powder doesn`t cook well), some flavoring - vanilla extract, raisins, sweetner and a tiny amount of baking powder. Stir together and nuke in the micro for about 60 seconds. Tip out and enjoy. All protein and no guilt. Add variations..cinnamon, dates.....whatever you desire.
I was just given my pre-op diet plan as a `heads up.` I still don`t have a surgery date, but I was told to expect within 3-4 months. Me, being the neurotic cheapskate I am, have started to research the best prices on the shakes. So far the best I have come up with is go to the Glucerna website and sign up for their coupons, and then use them at Wal-Mart which has the best per unit price around.
