something yummy!

I'm one week post-surg, so still on full liquids, although she's given me the ok to do a little more texture than usual because of the half-bypass thingie and not having as much of a restriction.  Anyway...

I was in Costco today and found Kirkland brand "Martha Stewart" Turkey Soup in the refrigerated case).  2g sugar (none added) and 20g protein per cup.  It's a thick soup with lots of carrots and turkey and crimini mushrooms and such.  After I pureed it as is it was still a little thicker than I was comfy trying yet, so I thinned it a bit more with broth, BUT with those numbers, it's a definite for next week when i move to pureed food and I thought it might also be good for some others out there.  It was delicious!

You may want to try Fat Free Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt mixed with Jell-o F/F S/F Banana Cream Pie & Pudding Mix. OMG!!! 6 oz of yogurt is 17 gr. protein. 

 

Nanette,
Are you mixing 2 cups of yogurt in place of the milk with the ff/sf pudding mix?

This recipe came from Keri.  Take your portion of greek yogurt and blend it with a quarter box of dry mix until well blended, it should not be clumpy.  Add a little more or less to taste.  I mix a whole box with a 32 oz container.  The only flavor I needed to doctor was the plain cheesecake flavor, I added a splenda to it.  The pistachio and the banana cream were the best ones I've tried so far.  These two flavors could give cannoli filling a run for the money.
