I am trying to figure out how to make rice pudding with cauliflower rice and Premier Protein shake. Any suggestions?

Been waiting for a post that I can comment about Premier shakes. I now try to find the highest Protein Cereal I can find and pour my vanilla shake over it. It sweetens the Cereal and is so good. Also trying to figure out a recipe using riced cauliflower and vanilla shake for rice pudding. I made quinoa type pudding using the shake that was ok, not great.

Maybe some of you that are better cooks than I am can come up with something.

I'm so glad you started this topic. I finally figured out the sneezing was after I ate. watery eyes, sniffling, the whole thing.

Thought it was allergies. Haven't read all the posts yet. But thanks.

I can not go to trader joes without buying flowers. And I have more money to buy them with, not spending so much on food.< /p>

I love the cauliflower rice from Trader Joes. I think the secret is to really brown it. The more brown the more like rice. This week I am going to try rice pudding with it. I just tried Quinoa pudding but it just tasted like oatmeal. I also make the rice with my Ninja. Just break cauliflower into florets and pulse. I know I'm repeating what is above but it really is good.

I agree on the blueberry goat cheese, can't really even call it a cheese. I found a new goat cheese called "purple haze" that is so good. We get it in a restaurant on a cheese and salami plate. That is the one we fight over. The only brie I like is Triple Cream.

I love this site! A rainy day in San Diego and nothing to do and got to read 5 pages on this subject. I was not asked and did not shave and had a catheter. 66 and never shaved in my life so that would of been fun. But luckily I have so little body hair anywhere that they might not of noticed. Good luck!

Has anyone used Quest Protein Powder? Also I did not like the blueberry pancakes from the bariatric store so this might be a matter of taste.

@@padremama it does not work well with the Syntrax nectar. The Syntrax Matrix is a different formulation and the one you have to use to get anything that resembles something edible....ask me how I know! Matrix has some kind of egg product which prompted me to try added egg whites and a lil bit more baking powder to get it to rise.

I have replaced a snack a day with this, combined with no glass of wine in the evening and I am losing! I am ok at goal, but I like to be under goal to give me a little bounce range. I think this satiates a bit of the desire to eat, not drink and is more filling. I have no idea if the slow combined with faster release Protein of matrix makes a difference but I have been curbing my eating late in the day much more successfully.

Thanks, I think they have samples at the Vitamin store. I will try it.

Just tried my first one and yuck! But will try again.

what flavor and Protein powder type did you use? and what kind of liquid? im keeping a record so i know what works and what doesnt.

I used syntax nectar vanilla bean torte. Not sure if my baking powder was too old.

Just tried my first one and yuck! But will try again.

One of my favorite is cauliflower rice. I bought it at Trader Joe's at first then made my own in a Ninja. Just pulse.

After I brown it I add an egg and some soy sauce or Bragg's liquid aminos to make fried rice.

I was sleeved in May and I am eating less and less. Before I thought the operation didn't work and as of the beginning of December that changed. Now I can hardly eat 3 ounces.

I have been doing the same thing. And I live alone so I have no one to answer to but myself. I have heard when you have surgery some people trade one addiction for another. I really have had too many addictions and don't need them back.

Has any one tasted Bolthouse shakes? I bought one in Target the other day in fridge section. Vanilla Bean. I loved it. Just don't know yet how to buy a case.

CAREFUL!!! The Bolthouse Farms ones are super high in carbs. The vanilla one has 29g carbs (28g sugar) and only 16g of Protein in 200 calories and that's for 8 fl oz. The bottles are almost 16oz so that's 400 calories, 56g sugar and 32g Protein if you drink the whole bottle.

Thanks!! Sometimes I just forget to read all the info. I already threw the bottle away.

Get some help with this or it will drive you nuts as a sleeved person! One way of looking at it that's helped me is looking at it like this...

"My body is not a garbage disposal", it is not my responsibility, (and seriously no longer possible) to consume more than I am comfortable holding.

That was my favorite WW quote and has helped me for years. I am not a garbage disposal.

I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you bariatric pal.

an old weight watchers favorite that I still do on Thanksgiving.

2 small pkgs instant sugar free pudding.< /p>

pumpkin pie spices

1 1/2 c. milk

1 small can pumpkin

1 cool whip fat free

Mix all ingredients except cool whip and stir well. Fold in Cool whip and put in fridge for at least one hour.

It really gives you that pumpkin pie taste.

How about some sugar free pudding. I make the sugar free instant and add Protein Powder to it. The nectar vanilla bean. Then after it's set instead of cool whip free I add nonfat plain greek yogurt. It is my sweet tooth fix. I like the lemon.

Doing good also. Have lost 42 pounds which is slow but I'm happy with it. No problems at all. Did have my first gas pains the other day that felt like labor. but that is all.

I was sleeved last May at the age of 65. When I first asked Doctor about it, she said I was not overweight enough,, and I told her to look again. I was 100 pounds overweight. So the first thing would to find out if you qualify for insurance.

Other than that, I am extremely happy with my decision. Losing slowly which I find the older I get the slower I lose, but still losing! As many others have said, I wish I would of done this years ago, but never too late. Good luck.

I am really hungry at night now. Have to go back to really concentrating on Water.< /p>

We have it at Ralphs

I take a liquid Vitamin "balanced essentials". And a separate Calcium and d. I can not take Iron so it doesn't include that.

My test results are better than they have ever been. I asked for a "b12" shot at dr's last week and she said I didn't need one.
