New Food Ideas...What Are Your Little Secrets

Mine would have to be green smoothies(just recently added) and fage yogurt mixed with walnuts, fruit and frozen for 30 minutes.****cream fix)

I like LisaBeezee's idea of the flax snak hot cereal.

Thanks

See my turkey roll-up thread right above yours. We must have been typing at the same time!

What do you put in your Green Smoothies? I think I want to give them a try. I need to get some extra veggies in my day.

yes, I started drinking the smoothies because I don't get enough veggies.

My standard...

1-2 cups bagged spinach(some days 1 cup, some days 2)
1 cup water(or sometimes I use no sugar added almond milk) 
1/2 banana
protein powder
little ice

can use any fruit in place of banana, add davinci sf syrups, etc. and I just recently added a product called Amazing Grass.(lol)

I'll go check your thread out! Thanks for replying.

I think I'll try that for an afternoon snack next time I go shopping.  Probably toss it a  little greek yogurt too.  Thanks!

Oh yes, my dear....I am ALL about trying new and fun foods which parallel my goal at maintaining. :)  I think you'll like the hot cereal.  I have converted my family to that from oatmeal since its so protein packed.  I add raisins & such to theirs and a little cream to keep smiles on their faces.  I post my menu every day so please just ask if you see anything that peaks your interest, okay? 

Of course, I am heavily addicted to Shelly's 5-Minute Protein Cakes and her Protein Ice Cream as well...just bought my ice cream maker about 2 months ago and the flavor options are endless with my 14 flavors of DaVinci Sugar-Free Syrups!  HAHAAA  I'm all about my food...you should see my monthly Netrition orders.  I get all giddy when they arrive - I know, I need to get a life!

 LisaBeezee...
Hook me up with your hot cereal idea...is there a post I should refer to?  Also tell me about this protein icecream...  I have been eating hagendaz....but I am sure I can get more protein.  And what is Netrician?  I just ate, but now I am hungry again :)  Thanks in advance!

No prob, I have it saved as bookmark so I can copy/paste - people ask all the time.  Also includes information on the cold protein cereal I eat.

"Honestly, the Hi-Lo Protein Cereal (made by Nutritious Living) has me completely hooked and tastes fab with our without syrups (I just add them sometimes to switch it up so I don't get bored, but its sweetened already and delicious on its own).  It comes in three flavors:  Original, Maple Pecan & Vanilla Almond.  All are delish and have the consistency of bran flakes (its the new Raisin Bran lol).  Here are the lovely stats per (very filling) 1/2c serving:

Cal: 90
Fat: 2g
Carbs: 13 (but net carbs are only 6g!!)
Fiber: 7g
Sugars: 1g
Protein: 12g

Unbelievable, right?

Same goes for the Flax Snax Hot Cereal...that one comes in 4 flavors:  Strawberries-n-Cream (my fave), Blueberries-n-Cream, Bananas-n-Cream and Cinnamon Spice (2nd fave lol).  I love them all and only add syrup to the cinnamon one to enhance the spicyness, but its not even necessary - they are all sweet enough. :)  Stats per 1/2c serving (again, very filling, thick oatmeal-y stuff):

Calories: 140
Fat: 6g (0 sat or trans)
Carbs: 13g (but net carbs are only 1g - crazy good!)
Fiber: 12g
Sugars: 0g
Protein: 12g

I buy all of my goodies at www.netrition.com.  $4.95 flat shipping and very competitive prices.
