Protein Shakes

 We love, love, love when you play with your food! Our friend, Autumn, sent us this note about how she played around with our salted caramel  hot cocoa recipe: I wanted to share this with you. I figure it might be one you’d want to share on the blog. I have been using some of your recipes lately and …

~by Nikki (No men readers…not the “hot blonde.” Although, I did toy with calling it that.)  S’anyway peeps…a friend of mine gave me a sample size of two of the syrups I’ve been wanting to try..Torani sugar-free Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Davinci sugar-free Praline. She gave me three ounces of each and I really didn’t want to waste them. The …

~~posted by Nik Nutella is one of those things I have resolved I can never, ever eat. I read the label. Doing so made me dump. I already have a cold Nutella shake worked out, but with temperatures kissing the freezing mark here in Maryland, I don’t want no cold shake! So I decided to convert the cold shake to …

~~posted by Nik and Jen We get a lot of notes and e-mails that read like this: Dear Nik and Jen, I want to try some sugar-free syrups but don’t know which to buy! Besides the standard (chocolate, vanilla, caramel), what would you suggest? Have no fear, Bariatric Foodie is here! (yes, that was corny, thanks for noticing…) Whether you …

~~posted by Jen It’s still Leftovers Week, but we’re also fitting in some Reader Requests this week along with our delectable remixes on Thanksgiving leftovers. As y’all know, we try to respond to your requests for help on things within a reasonable amount of time, and some requests require a bit more experimenting than others. This one is pretty simple, …

~~posted by Jen So y’all know I’ve been on a smoothie kick lately with the Yoplait Frozen Smoothies, but those things get expensive after awhile! The cheapest I’ve found them is $2.79 and the bag only makes 2 smoothies. They ARE delicious and easy, and I’ll still keep a couple bags on hand for “shake emergencies” when I’m in a hurry, …

~~posted by Jen Our Poucher Pal Kris H.was chatting with me on Facebook the other night while enjoying Nik’s Thin Mint Hot Protein drink, and mentioned she’d love to have a “Samoa” version. I told her then that Nik is the Queen of Protein Drinks, as y’all know, and I’d be willing to bet she had one or could come …

~by Nikki A few days ago, my gorgeous friend Denise (waitinggame on OH) sent me this recipe for her Protein Caramel Macchiato. Here’s the funny thing…she thinks that I invented it! Bless her heart… I WISH I could take credit for this but I cannot. It was actually Jen’s creation (which I did not know until just recently when Jen pointed …

  I had no idea when I developed this shake recipe that people loved Butterfinger so much. But you guys really, really do. Whenever I ask what shake folks like best from theBariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes, folks always say, “The Butterfinger!” My guess is that candy is something we miss post-op. I don’t know about you but …

~~posted by Jen  +=  A couple weeks back, Nik shared her Salted Caramel Protein Hot Chocolate and I was hooked, as was most everyone else who tried it, given the comments we received. Since the weather has gotten cooler, I am turning more to protein hot drinks or protein coffee to get my morning started rather than my usual cold …
