Topic: Frozen Yogurt Recipe

I just got a Whynter Ice Cream maker... here is a great frozen yogurt/protein shake recipe:

1 container Oikos Triple Zero Salted Caramel Greek yogurt

1 container Premier Protein Chocolate shake

2 scoops Click espresso protein powder

1 cup skim milk or Fairlife milk

Blend in blender until frothy.  Pour into ice cream maker and freeze, takes about 30-45 minutes.  Makes about 4 cups.

Calories: 120 per 1 cup serving, 18 grams protein 9 grams carb 1 gram fat

I put a tablespoon of sf blackberry jam on top.  (10 more calories)

Topic: RE: Paleo "Granola"

The things I miss most are cereals and granola (and potatoes in any form, but I'm good at figuring out subs for those). This would be just the right crunch to add to yogurt! Thanks!

Topic: RE: Pumpkin Pie Smoothie!

Sounds delicious....but way too many carbs and too little protein for me during the weight loss phase.  I try to keep carbs under 40.  I use protein powder in my shakes, with unsweetened Almond Breeze.  This time of year, you can find pumpkin pie flavored protein powder.

I use a shaker instead of a blender.  Makes a thick shake without all the foam.

Best of luck to you.

Topic: Mock Siggi Yogurt - Pumpkin Flavor

I made this with my IP, and it was ah-maz-ing.  Most of the carbs get eaten up when you make yogurt.  It is deliciously high protein.  I don't add any sugar and I use full fat milk.  You can put some yogurt aside ad reuse it for the next week and never buy it if you want :)

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

So I finally made this today and IT IS SO GOOD!  I toasted mine in a little coconut oil and I added some cocoa nibs that I have had for a while. I sweetened it with a little coconut sugar and then ate it with my yogurt. Love the recipe! Thanks so much! Two questions though, do you store it in the fridge and how long will it last?

Topic: RE: Week 2 - Start Blending... WHAT SHOULD I HAVE?

I was told to slowly reintroduce foods one at a time in case of intolerances so that I could know what they were.  The problem with many cuisines is that they are a blend of ingredients (obviously), so it may be boring, but it might be good to try one thing at a time.  Like, pureed chicken in broth (plain) or beef with broth (same).  I did have plain cream soups, like homemade cream of chicken, that I pureed.  Mine had less cream and more chicken, though - really just a splash to make it "creamy."  I love vietnamese, but if you had pureed Pho, for instance, you might not figure out what was causing you to be sick since it has numerous ingredients.

I'll use myself as an example: I tried egg drop soup and couldn't figure out why I was violently sick.  I tried eggs alone and bam!  I had a bad egg intolerance for months after surgery.

Sadly, the first few weeks aren't exciting cooking-wise, but they sure do go fast in retrospect!

Right now Kitchen aid spiralizers for their stand mixers are on promotion for 119 bucks (normally 150).

I splurged....and bought one (waiting for it to arrive). Hubby and I have burned through 2 hand crank spiralizers (I think it was called vegetti or something like that).

 

Your pics are so pretty in that article.

Keep inspiring us Egg Face!

 

Much love,

Skinny
