New stuff, new old ideas

  • I bought some Chobani plain yogurt today. It was in a large container. I'm going to add chocolate protein powder to it and make pudding of sorts. Been thinking about that for awhile, but my old habits crept in and I had to force myself to go get it.
  • I also bought more soy milk. By itself, soy milk is just like eating plain yogurt. If I had to choose between them or starving to death, it would be a really tough choice. So, I'll add stuff that is healthy and have at it. Of course, I have to hope it makes the stuff edible too. I paid for it. I might as well eat it.
I add 2 scoops of protein powder (do you need to ask what flavor?) to my Magic Bullet. Fill halfway with cold decaf coffee. Blend for a few seconds until everything is mixed. I found out it blends better when you put the powder on top of the coffee. Then, I get my big blender bottle and fill that halfway with soy milk. Add the bullet mix, one bag of sweet and low, and fill to the top with more soy, or coffee.
I found that if I use the blender with soy milk, I end up with whipped cream instead of blended protein powder. that would be fine, but I'm not looking for that.
I can sit outside on my favorite chair and drink this stuff forever. It tastes great, and satisfies my milk shake craving. I don't usually drink the whole thing in one sitting, and sometimes I will add more powder and liquid instead of dumping it out and starting over. I never stretch it more than a day, however, and I always refrigerate the leftovers.
I am working on doing some new recipes for chicken and fish and beef too. I'll let you know when I'm ready to receive them.
