Cheesecake-y puree w/protein powder



Recommended Posts

I'm playing around with ideas for post-op & thought I would share what I tried today. I hate the texture of cottage cheese, but have learned that it's much better when run through the food processor until smooth. I eyeballed the amounts, so the amounts I listed are just my best guess of what I used & may need to be adjusted. It has a smooth, rich texture that made me think of cheesecake.

1 chopped medium apple

3/4-1 cup cottage cheese

1 Tbsp apple pie spice

1 tsp vanilla

3 heaping Tbsp unflavored Protein Powder

1 Tbsp honey

Process until smooth. Makes about 2 cups, so there are several servings.

I did a second version with about 4 Tbsp pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple Syrup instead of honey. Both were yummy!

You can add Protein powder to this and some milk to help it absorb. You cannot taste the 'chalk' in the cheese.< /p>

Yum! I am mot allowed raw apple yet but I bet you could use baby applesauce or pumpkin puree. You could also try a splash of lemon juice.< /p>

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
