Sounds awesome, thanks for sharing!

 Wow, my notification settings are wacked. ha ha   Anyways....chia seeds soak up a HUGE amount of liquid, so 6 TBL of soaked would turn into over  a cup or so with liquid included. I don't have any portion sizes other then what is good for each person depending on their stage :)  

They have allot of benefits including helping you stay full longer, hydration, omega acids, helping to balance blood sugar, anti~ oxidents   blah blah...  

You can really just play around with them, add protein powder to the pudding recipe, grind them, add a TBS to a shake. You can even bake with them, but I never have tried that yet.  Here is a chai spiced tapioca style pudding I made before WLS.  Those are goji berries, walnuts and yes, banana slices with cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom

It looks kinda like slop ! but it's so good..

Adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder would make it high protein~ along with the milk used, and of course the serving size would be much smaller then the pic.  That Basil tea looks refreshing .

 have been wanting to try a hummus recipe that didn't taste like just salt like alot of the store bought ones. I researched different recipes and after trying some of them I have my own now that I really like.

Teddi’s Hummus

Ingredients
2 – 16oz cans of Chickpeas, drained
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup tahini, stirred well
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving

Directions: Place the chickpeas, garlic, and kosher salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 15 to 20 seconds. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process for another 15 to 20 seconds. Add the lemon juice and water. Process for 20 seconds. Add the tahini. Process for 20 seconds, and then scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil. To serve, garnish with extra minced garlic, to taste, if desired.

Makes 32 - two tablespoon servings.

I have seen it on this website before, but it's a really good source of protein and oh so tasty...

2  small cans of mandarin oranges (or 1 large can)
1  small box sugar free jello orange flavored
1  8 oz container of low fat cottage cheese
1  container of fat free cool whip thawed

In a small saucepan heat the oranges to a near boil, remove from heat and add the jello..stir until completely dissolved...

In a medium sized bowl, add the cottage cheese and cool whip, afer the fruit mixture cools slightly, add it to the cottage cheese mixture and mix well.  Mixture will be very runny but will firm up and set in the fridge.  Refrigerate  for at least two hrs.   Enjoy.

I make this with several different jello/fruit combinations but this one is my absolute favorite

 Hey, Patty...

I've got lots of different types of recipes on my blog - I'm sure you'll find SOMETHING!!  I do use a lot of eggs and cottage cheese - I eat mostly vegetarian, but my husband is the carnivorous post-op!
