| Recipes *Homemade Hummus garbanzo beans in the blender with lemon juice, tahini (sesame seed paste) salt, a garlic clove and water...it's really good with pita bread, crackers or by itself.... very high protein and could be eaten on full liquids...I think... *Pink Cottage Cheese Desert (protein filled) 2 box's of sugar free jello (prepare as directed) 1 container of cool whip *fat free* 1 can of crushed pineapple (in it's own juice) 1 can of diced pineapple *in natural juices* 1 large tub of *no fat* cottage cheese. I mix this all togther, cover and put in the fridge for a few hours and voila! desert for the family that even I can have! That includes protein! *Cheese ball with crackers You use the dried beef, lowfat cream chese, green onion, and shredded cheese. Split it into 8 servings and eat away. *Bean dip Can of no fat refried beans mix half or so pack of taco seasoning spread on a cookie sheet. Then take no fat sour cream put rest of taco seasoning in it and spread onto beans. Put tomatoes, green onion and shredded cheese on it. Use chips or crakers to eat it. You get lots of protein on it. *Omelet (Egg Beaters) filled with lowfat cheese and turkey bacon --I've always loved breakfast food, so this is a real favorite! *Canned Split Pea or Bean with Bacon soup (instead of adding water, add skim milk for extra protein) *Tuna Dip What i do is mix room temp. low fat cream cheese (about 1 1/2 sticks ) with one envelope onion soup mix and one large can of tuna. ( You can add more tuna and it still stays together real nice ) with this mixed real well I spread it on small flour tortilla shell and roll them up. Put the tuna rolls in the fridge and cut into slices after the cream cheese firms back up. Lots of protein in a little snack. I actually eat it for lunch with a glass of milk. This makes a bunch and it keeps well for a few days. *Chicken Tacos I make my own chicken tacos, good source of protein and I can control what goes in it....ex..low fat sour cream, taco sauce and 2% shredded cheese. Its really good and I can control the fat. I used to have a hard time with bread, so I would make the taco and put it in the oven and crisp it...makes it easier on the stomach..not as much like bread, more like toast. YUM...still my favorite meal. *Macaroni and Cheese/Tuna Add tuna to it to increase the protein. It may sound gross but its really not. *Chocolate frozen milk 2% milk and a no sugar added fudge bar and blend it up and drink. It's approximately 13 grams of protein and it is really good. I have used other ice creams too. I have not added non fat dry milk but I'm sure it would work. Or you could just buy the no sugar added nestle quick and use with milk. *Turkey Chili Prepare as you would ground beef chili and simply use ground turkey instead. Be sure to use plenty of beans (high in protein) *Northern Beans I cooked great northern beans a lot with bouillion as the seasoning when on soft food and pureed...also the broth was good earlier...they were very tasty and a real treat. *Hamburger/Tuna/Chicken Helper Be sure and read the Fat grams and sugar...Certain kinds of Hambuger Helper use Corn Syrup very early on in the recipe...Anyway these are a good source of protein and my nutristionist is actually the one that recommended I buy these. *Protein Fortified Sugar Free Pudding (any flavor) Make it with 2% milk and dry milk (if you use 1 cup of milk use 1/3 cup of dry milk)...I make it in a bowl with a lid so I just shake it for a few min...My son loves to help. Then I put it in the fridge in 1/2 cup bowls -- zip locks I think they are. *Carnation Instant Breakfast Make it with 1 cup Milk and 1/3 cup Dry milk 2 Tablespoons Simply Jiff Peanut butter...blend it really well and pour in 1/2 cup containers...FREEZE...Yummy.
