String cheese wrapped in lunch meat turkey, then warmed up in a pan. 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese. Hummus, low-fat cheese wedges and cucumbers. 1/4-1/2 cup chili with beans, pulsed in chopper, if necessary. You can add sprinkle of shredded cheese and dallop of Greek yogurt, too. Today I made simple chicken salad with light mayo and a dash of Dijon, then pulsed it smooth in the chopper. Added in 3 boiled eggs, chunked. Ate it on Wasa crackers. (I know, weird but I have them on my soft food list. Really crunchy, delish!)

That's what I've been eating this week.

Carbquick is my flour substitute of choice. I use it in place of flour in most of my baking, sometimes in combination with Atkins bake mix, sometimes with protein powder or sometimes on it's own. It does have some fat in it as well when you read the nutritional content because of it's mixture of different flours and that, which I like because I use no oil or butter in my baking, choosing to substitute with apple sauce and Greek yogurt. I've made cakes, pancakes, waffles, breads, muffins, etc. with great success. The one thing though is it won't mix to a smooth consistency with basic mixing (only with a blender) because it does have flakes in it. This doesn't change the consistency of the final product however.

I hope this helps!

heres a link to the 200 protein drinks i put up in the vsg forum! pretty sure anyone and everyone could use these.

Anyone have experience using carbquick?

This one makes a great high-protein treat for those in the puree/mushy phase but is good enough for everyone in the house to enjoy!
