On holiday in the USA recommend me food products

I'm here visiting my family and have just discovered crystal light. I'm having trouble drinking Water and need flavoring. So I added a sachet of it to a glass of water. But it was way too sweet and strong.

So I'm going to experiment.

But what other food/drink products that are bariatric friendly.

I use a half sachet is almost 20 oz of water. It is indeed way too sweet otherwise. Mio drops are also good for flavoring water.

As to the rest of it, my preference is to eat real food rather than packaged so I may not be of much help here. But Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken, ground beef, fish like tilapia, salmon cod, shrimp (prawns), scallops, etc are all good options.

Love this but it IS (for me anyway) hard to find. I had to have my grocery story special order it (pretty easy to buy online tho...)

Anyway it is like adding a bit of squeezed lime to your Water. NO SWEET at all. If you buy the shaker jar (they sell packets too the size of a sugar or Splenda packet) it's too strong IMO. But a little shake of this in my water makes me so happy!

You can purchase this on the real lemon website.

Sounds amazing. I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

Mexican food like beans (refried or charro or black beans), shredded chicken dishes, ground meat dishes, chicken fajitas. Just watch the fat content with too much cheese and avoid fried things.

Perfect thank you all for your suggestions. We went off to whole foods today and I got some oats for Breakfast and crackers for lunch. Just delicious.
