This year...my favorite foods are so different. I mean, don't get me wrong, there are still days when I want to get fries at McDonald's and just suck on them for flavor. I see a cake and want to slam my face down into it like some crazed lunatic. How messed up is that? <sigh>
So here are some of my favorite foods (meals, snacks, etc)...not consumed on a daily basis, rather, replacements for foods that I overindulged in (in my pre-band life).
- Trader Joe's Chicken Apple Sausage
- Crockpot BBQ Beef w/Boneless Chuck Roast (don't forgot to add soda to moisten it!)
- PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter - sounds funky, but damn good. Mix this crack into chocolate pudding and you have yummy! I also like it mixed with Cool Whip. The least expensive place I've found is Netrition.com. There are small jars and 1 lb bags.
- Baked Tostitos
- Jolly Time Healthy Pop (Crispy White Naturally Flavored) - I have to be careful because popcorn is a major slider food. I could eat buckets of it. Sometimes I sprinkle a little parm cheese on it.
- Clif Builder's Bar - mint chocolate. 20 g of protein and it tastes like a thin mint. OMG.
- Morningstar Crumbles - alone, it tastes funky to me since I'm a carnivore, but mix 50/50 with lean ground beef, and you'd never know there was fake meat in there. Promise. I mix this stuff up and freeze it in 3 oz portions.
- Cheese Sticks - any kind. They're my "emergency" protein food. I can keep one in my purse for hours.
- Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage
Bolthouse Farms Vanilla Latte Protein & Mango Protein Plus Shakes... I also love Lifetime Fitness Fastfuel Orange Cream. Gets me through those liquids only days and taste great! Fresh and Easy creamy cilantro salad dressing, a little goes a long way and tastes amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the boathouse farms... The hazelnut is my fav.
DeleteI shall let you know once I'm back on solid foods :) And though it's been 2 wks (Tues) that I haven't had real food..I do miss my mom's home made Czech food *authentic* yumminess.
ReplyDeleteI am loving Fage Greek yogurt and fruit any of them and a 1/4 cup of granola clusters. I get both the yogurt and granola from Costco...they travel easy and are quite filling... Theses 2 helped me get o ver the 2:30-4:30 I am starving time of day....I also love the Costco Priemium vanilla per-made protein shakes, I blend them with a 1/4 cup of any frozen fruit, 1/2 a banana and ice for breakfast or for a not so hungry dinner...those 3 things I can't live w/o... I always know as long as I have those in my frige I have a go to and no excuse for not being prepared and portioned
ReplyDeleteI just got some PB2 and can't wait to try it!
