High protein recipes for new post-ops OR anyone

Fabulous Ricotta Fluff Stuff

• 1 large container of ricotta cheese


• 1 box SF Jell-O instant cheesecake pudding


• dollop or two of sour cream (to taste)


• A little bit of milk to lighten it up (about a cup-add last and gradually)

Mix it all up and enjoy however you want it. I love it with strawberries! It's a great fruit dip or just eating straight out of the bowl.

Variation for fluff: Use whatever flavor of pudding you like and add a little milk to get the texture you like.

Warning: Walmart's ricotta is very grainy in texture and never mixes to anything smooth and creamy. Tasty, but strange.

New variation: Add some splenda and vanilla to the ricotta and mix it well -- nothing else -- and I swear it tastes like the inside of a cannoli. BTW - this is even good with the grainy Walmart ricotta!

Fabulous Custard
Full of protein, easy on new post-ops, and delicious!

• 3 cups milk


• 3/4 cup Splenda


• 4-5 eggs (depending on size)


• 2 tsp vanilla


• 1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)


• handful of coconut (optional)

Preheat oven to 375'. Beat eggs, nutmeg and vanilla together in baking dish. On the stove, bring the milk and Splenda just to a boil, then stir together to the eggs. Bake for 25 min

NOTE: when the milk is coming near to a boil, you'll get a little foam on the top. Remove this foam before stirring into the eggs, or it will get a weird texture on top.

Thank you so much for this!!!
