High Protein low carb pudding: Soft foods, full liquids



Recommended Posts

Tired of Protein Shakes? how about a Protein dessert instead? Pictures and nutritional info (coming shortly) at: sugar-free Jello Instant pudding (we used pistachio)

  • 2 scoops unflavored Protein Powder (we used NOW unflavored whey powder)
  • 2 c skim milk
  • Sugar-free cool whip
  • Method

    1. Blend together the protein powder and milk as though you were making a shake.< /li>
    2. Follow directions on the pudding package to make the pudding with this protein-milk
    3. Top with a dollop of cool whip and enjoy!

    Yum!

    If you're lazy like me and try to modify this using prepackaged sugar free pudding cups, don't use a whole scoop of Protein powder. The texture gets weird - kinda like that spray foam contractors use to fill holes in walls :)

    Actually I tried it last week when I ran out of clean cups to take milk to work :blush: , but I had some pudding cups laying around. By lunchtime, it was a weird foamy mess!

    I mean, it didn't stop me from eating it or anything. It's chocolate, lol.

    Ooh, I like the looks of this! I think I am going to try it with lemon pudding. Lemon is my favorite flavor and I've been missing it a lot since surgery. Thanks!

    If you do, will you post a picture? I'd love to incude a better than the one I have on my blog. I was in too much of a hurry to eat to take a good one. :P I'll gladly give you credit for it. Photo courtesy of Bufflehead.

    That should confuse a few people :P (I'm easily amused today, can you tell?)

    Lol, I'll be happy to take a picture but I have to warn you, I am the world's worst photographer! Probably middle of the week before I can do it though.

    Okay, here is the mediocre picture of the lemon Protein pudding I made:

    gallery_133472_18020_12513.jpg

    To give you an idea of portion size, that is a regular size teaspoon and a small dessert ramekin sitting on a saucer.

    I made a half-box of pudding with one cup of milk, and then turned that recipe into three servings. Here are my ingredients and the final numbers:

    1/2 box sugar free, fat free lemon pudding mix

    1 cup (240 ml) Carbmaster vanilla Reduced Sugar Milk

    2 scoops* Syntrax nectar Medical Unflavored Protein

    1/4 t. lemon extract**

    1 dollop fat free Redi Whip

    Final numbers per serving: 62 calories, 10 g. protein, 4 g. carb, 0 g. fat.

    *Syntrax Nectar Unflavored protein comes in very small scoops! 2 scoops = 80 calories, 20 gr. protein, 0 gr. carbs.

    **I put in the lemon extract because I love lemon flavoring, but if you do, be warned that the pudding will set a bit softer than normal. If you like super firm pudding, don't add alcohol-based extracts.

    This was super yummy! I have lots of flavors of pudding mix on hand and will definitely be adding this to my repertoire. Thanks!

    That's a great pic! I made banana pudding flavor last night. Today, inspired by you, I will try lemon. This, along with my popcorn has become my nightly snack. Replaced the Protein Shake I used to force down each night. So glad I experimented with it.

        I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

        Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
        Soooo I am coming to a realization
        of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

          I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

          Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

          Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

          I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

          I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

          BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
