What can I do with...berries?



Recommended Posts

We have a health food co-op in a nearby city that I have been meaning to find. There was a post on the Internet the other day that they were having a sale on fresh raspberries so it gave me an excuse to find it.

Now, I have quite a few raspberries (most of which are in the freezer).

They have been delicious added to my yogurt.

Other than Protein Shakes, what are some good, easy, healthy ways that you use fresh berries (especially raspberries)?

Quickies: Make a smoothie with some 1% milk and artificial sweetener, raspberry SF Jello w/some low fat whipped topping and raspberries on top, throw some in your oatmeal or on top of a nice mixed greens salad.

There are plenty of recipes out there on the internet; also others you can substitute raspberries for.

I love raspberries. I wonder if you could puree and then freeze them for a lovely Italian Ice type treat. Or (I have seen this when blueberries, not sure if it will work with raspberries) but coat them in yogurt and then freeze them and they are lovely little yogurt covered berry treats? Can't wait to see what ideas people come up with. I need to go find a farmers market..

I put a recipe for a berry smoothie at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf I love the stuff and the grandkids make numerous visits just to get some of it.

I'm making a blackberry balsamic chicken tonight. You might be able to do the same with raspberries. Found the recipe on Pinterest.

I like to mash raspberries into PB2 and lick it from a spoon as a treat. Yum!

Somebody may have already mentioned this, but a simple delicious treat for me (one that even my kids like) is to buy fresh organic blueberries, stick them in the freezer overnight, then just pull them out and eat them as Snacks. They don't freeze like a rock, as some fruits do, and they are a wonderful and super-healthy snack.....and it literally takes seconds to make...lol.

Or if you have a juicer that has a "blank screen" attachment, you can run the frozen berries through that, along with a frozen banana and have a 100% fruit sorbet....also delicious...and healthy!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
