I eat a strictly Kosher/Halal diet and cannot find any chicken broths that are Kosher available in stores near me, or even online (minus the hefty bulk only + shipping prices). I'm thinking of just going with either the Maggi or Knorr bouillon cubes easily available to me and adding 1 cube per 2-3 cups of boiling Water to use in place of the broth directly or in recipes. This would additionally be ideal for when I go to actually have the procedure in Mexico, as I won't be able to have any of the hospital/hotel provided varieties for the same reasons. So I can just take a pack of cubes and use the microwave.

And just in case anyone's wondering, homemade is simply not an option for me as I need something far more convenient. I need to be able to pull off the shelf, warm/boil and sip at throughout the day. Convenience is a necessity when your chasing around after a toddler boy and an 8 month old crawl-o-matic! I won't be able to keep up with boiling/cooking stock as continuously as I'd need to as I don't tend to eat frozen stock because it tastes strange after the freezer. I have a HUGE tupperware box sitting in the freezer that I won't throw away cause it took a whole chicken to make lol, and lots of work and time.......but the freezer taste is in it so I won't use it LOL.

I use natural unflavored protein powder but you can't overheat it or it gels. BARF! I have no idea about the kosherness (is that a word?) of protein powder at all! I don't do broth for protein, I do it for savory. I can't take all the sweet. Unjury makes a chicken flavored protein powder that people like, I just can't justify the cost since this phase is so short.

Oh, and my Kroger carries that brand as well as food lion. I don't know what groceries you have but it's not an uncommon brand. Kroger has a large kosher section, but I am completely ignorant about how all that works for you. Where do you live? If you like it, I am sure I could stuff a whole priority box full of them for $5 in shipping and save you a ton of $$.

You know what that isn't a bad idea at all! I'll go to my local krogers and check out the kosher section again and see if I can find it there. Do you know how much it costs at yours?

Thanks so much for the offer! That is super nice of you!

hmmm...that has me worried too. I don't see any solution short of calling each unflavored protein powder company and asking them directly. Ugh....I'd rather not. Just got through doing the same to make a list of kosher/halal boxed cereals........which ended with my list completely blank lol. Most of them have pork, and the ones that don't have non-kosher beef in some form or another. Either way. I'm just going to have to make do with what I have. Already bought two boxes of the premium Protein shakes in chocolate and despite liking them or disliking them....they will be my main source for protein come the next stage post-op. No worries! Was just hoping to get more protein so I don't give my body an excuse not to "lose" anything but my hair lol.

$4 maybe?

Your Protein should be whey, not pork or beef. Found this:

$4 maybe?

Well, that settles it. Once I get the order and taste test it I'd love to take you up on that offer. Do you have paypal?

Btw...do you have a favored way to make just plain savory broth to sip out of the stuff? Or should I just stick with what the instructions on the jar say?

Oh, and did I mention. You're awesome!!!!

I just follow the directions and sip!

LOL
