protein recipes - and a new website find!

A bunch of folks have been chatting about having trouble meeting protein goals or finding proteins they like. I figured I'd share a couple of resources that might help....

First off is Bariatric Eating (www.bariatriceating.com), which has recipes using proteins for smoothies, shakes, hot drinks and more, under their "recipes" area.  There's also an article - if you read past the "infomercialness" pushing their particular brand of protein, there's some really good information and some great recipes and preparation ideas for ALL post-surg stages, including meal plans put together for each of the post-surg stages.

Meal Plans, all stages:  www.bariatriceating.com/BEhealthnutrition/mealplans.php

Barix Clinic's online "store" (which I'm embarassed to say i JUST found - anyone know if it's really been there all along???) has what looks like all of their amazing recipes from the Barix Bible!  Exciting because there are some really GOOD ideas in there for all stages...

Baratric Choice (www.bariatricchoice.com) is a fairly new (i think) company that publishes a catalog of baratric-friendly products ranging from proteins and supplements to packaged foods and snacks.  They have a "free recipes" section on their website - while they of course specify their own products, you could very easily substitute any protein you like:

I hope these provide some "food for thought" and some good ideas to keep you going.  All it takes is a little creativity and a willingness to try something new - you'll be amazed at what you can whip together that tastes great!

Karen,

I'm sooo glad you posted this!!!  I had thought I was doing well with getting my protein is, but that's not true lately.  I did well when I was working and on a regular schedule, but since my job ended, I don't have a schedule.  As a result, I'm finding that I haven't been meeting my protein goals.  I'm trying to use a scoop of protein every day now, either as hot chocolate or mixed into something like greek yogurt.  That way, I'm more likely to hit my daily goal. 

So, thanks again for the reminder!!!!

Thanks Karen for the great websites!

Thanks Karen.  I have two of these guys in my favorites but did not have the other one.  Thanks for a new source of inspiration

Thanks so much for passing on!

Karen,

Thanks so much for posting this.

Cool - thanks for the info, Karen!

You're all very welcome - maybe we should start putting together some "frequently asked questions" postings (collections of links, common questions by newbies and others, etc.) and trying to post them once every month or two...  woudl that be useful?

That's actually a pretty good idea, Karen!  I know when I first started coming to this board, I used to copy and save info and links so I could refer back to things.  Any ideas on how to compile the info?

Not a clue.  We've asked the board moderators for a "sticky" post to handle it and have been told no, that they don't do that anymore.  Sigh.  Very annoying.

I'll think about it and will try again with the board moderators.
