Serves 4

This is the recipe my nutritionist put me on for my 1st week out from surgery, she said to eat 100ml each time I ate. With the protein powder this gives you carbs from the potatoes, protein from the powder and nutrients from the onion and carrots.

*there is a more complex version on the mushies thread

I bought some from Walgreens online. It comes in individual packs for about 30 bucks.

I was one of the lucky patients with the terrible gas pains after surgery. While I was allowed to move from clear liquids to full liquids after 3 days, my stomach wasn't ready for it. :sick:sick:sick When my son was little, he had bouts of gas colic, and I remember this recipe helped him. I swear it tastes just like the rice pudding (kheer) served at Indian restaurants.

Cardamom is the flavoring in chai/spice tea. It's completely unique, nothing else substitues well. It settles the tummy like a prescription drug. I've put it in my coffee for years, and everyone comments on it.

Kheer (Rice Pudding) Drink

1/4 c Gerber "Cereal for Baby" Rice Flakes
1/2 c 1% Milk
1/4 tsp Cardamom
1 pkg Stevia or Splenda sweetener

Mix all ingredients together in a coffee mug, and microwave on high for 45 seconds.

Oh my gosh, this is so good!!! Seriously, it rivals a McDonalds strawberry shake.

Strawberry Cheesecake Shake

-2 scoops of vanilla Myocel or vanilla protein powder of your choice
-4 ounces skim milk
-4 frozen strawberries
-1/4 cup sugar free, fat free jello Cheesecake pudding

Add all ingredients (protein powder last) in blender or smoothie machine and blend until smooth!!!

Thank you for all of the recipes! I started some of my grocery shopping today in preparation for my October 11th surgery. This was a tip posted by someone earlier. I also followed another tip and went to allrecipes.com (which is my favorite site to find holiday desserts). I found this lovely dessert for the liquid phase that may help with a sweet tooth. I modified the recipe for our dietary needs:

Strawberry Soup

INGREDIENTS

2 cups strawberries
1 cup skim milk (the recipe actually calls for buttermilk)
1 teaspoon Splenda

DIRECTIONS

Place strawberries and skim milk into a blender or food processor and puree. Sweeten with Splenda to taste, blend and either serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
