Some protein sources I found
First, I'm off to Kalamazoo, MI for the week .....probably won't be able to post much....or answer emails. Friend in need and I'm on my way down. Please remember her family in prayer...and her son. That is most important.
I was at our "co-op" store today getting some supplies (yes, I eat organic foods sometimes!) and learned something. So I thought I would share. Hey, when you find a new protein source, why not?
These are called "PRIMAL STRIPS" ...don't let the name fool you!!! I didn't!
High Energy, low fat, super protein (well, I don't know about super) meatless jerky.
I picked up the Texas BBQ and O M G.......IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

It contains: NON-GMO isolated soy protein, water, unrefined evaporated cane juice, naturally brewed soy sauce, natural smoke flavoring, sea salt, vinegar, natural vegetarian spices, NO MSG.

I imagine if you want to try it, check your food co-op or health food store. It's made in Taiwan (oh goodie) but distributed out of Moundsville, WV. (aka Hicksville?)

OK NUMBER TWO PROTEIN FIND:
I found a high protein cereal.
Brand: BACK TO NATURE
Name: ENERGY START CEREAL (HI PROTEIN CRUNCH)
15 grams protein in 1/2 cup
no artificial flavors or colors or preservatives
1.5 gm fat
0 cholesterol
sodium is 110 mg
potassium is 340 mg
carbs 28 g
dietary fibers 3 gms
sugars 14 gm (however its all evaporated cane juice- no 'sugar' is on the label)
located at Meijer in the cereal Isle (where the healthy stuff is) OR
www.backtonaturefoods.com
Now, when I eat this cereal, I add a handful of slivered almonds, and some raisins, and skim milk, and it takes me a good half hour to eat this. Then I'm full for about 3 hours. Or feel satisfied. I only eat this every other day and I showed it to my NUT and she seemed to think it was OK...just don't over do it.
As for the sugars, I have not had problems with it, and I find it keeps me 'regular' and for 15 grams of protein in a whopping 1/2 cup, that aint alot to have to eat.
Thought I'd share some new foods!!! Let me know what you think, and if you try them, how you like them.
