Full Liquid Recipes! Part Two

I did not get too creative on my own and pretty much stuck to basic foods or the recipes they gave me.  However, my husband just finished this phase, and he got a little more creative.  So I have included a couple of his favorite things to eat.

Protein Power Oatmeal - Serves 1

1/2 cup evaporated skim milk

1/4 cup quick oats

Add evaporated milk to quick oats.  Microwave at 50% for 3-4 minutes.  Nutritional info: Calories: 230, Protein: 11 g

I have not made this as I really like Quaker Oats Weight Control Instant Oatmeal.

And now for my favorite, the one I still make and eat several times a week.

Protein Power Pudding - Serves 4

1 package (4 serving size) sugar-free pudding mix, any flavor

2 cups skim milk

4 scoops Beneprotein unflavored protein powder

Put milk in blender.  Add pudding mix and protein powder.  Blend on medium speed for 45 seconds or until well mixed.  Pour into small bowls.  Refrigerate until set.  Makes 4 half cup servings.  Nutritional info per serving: Calories: 95, Protein: 10 g

I made it as specified the first time.  And it was pudding-y though a bit thick.  But it left a kind of stickiness on my teeth that I did not like.  So I modified it.  I used the following:

1 package (4 serving) sugar-free pudding mix, any flavor

2 cups fat free Fair Life Milk

1 scoop of Unjury unflavored protein powder.

I made it in a bowl with a hand mixer and mixed for two minutes as instructed by the package of pudding.  This version is creamier and there are no sticky teeth, so a winner in my book.  Nutritional Info:  Calories: 88, Protein: 12 g

Hubby's Favorite Creations:

Protein Power Malt-o-meal - 2.5 servings of .5 cup
3 Tbsp Malt-o-Meal
1/3 c dry nonfat milk
1 cup water
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder.

Prepare Malt-o-meal with dry milk and water.  Microwave as per the box instructions.  Stir.  Stir in the protein powder.  *Nutritional info will vary based on brand of protein powder used.  We use BodyTech's Whey Tech Pro 24.*  Nutritional info per serving: Calories: 132, Protein: 14 g


Protein Power Soup - 2 servings of 1 cup
98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken (or Mushroom) Soup
1 cup water
1/3 cup dry nonfat milk
1 scoop Beneprotein unflavored protein powder

Prepare soup with dry milk and water.  Heat via stove or microwave as the label on the soup instructs.   Strain soup to eliminate chunks.  Mix in the Beneprotein.   The Cream of Chicken is his most favorite of all the recipes.  * Nutritional info will vary based on flavor and brand of soup.  This was calculated with Great Value's 98% FF Cream of Chicken*  Nutritional info per serving: Calories: 128, Protein: 9.5 g


Protein Power Cream Broth - 1 serving of 1 cup
1 cup 99% FF broth (chicken or beef)
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk
1 scoop Beneprotein unflavored protein powder

Stir together the broth and dry milk.  Heat.  Stir in Beneprotein. *Nutritional info will vary based on what broth you use.  CollegeInn has zero protein, Swanson has 2 g protein.  This was calculated with CollegeInn because it taste better.*  Nutritional Info: Calories: 120, Protein: 14 g

NOTE: You could easily substitute any generic 80 Calorie skim milk for the nonfat dry milk and water in these recipes.  Nonfat Dry Milk was used in all of his recipes because that was all we had in the house except for Fair Life Milk.  He says Fair Life Milk upsets his stomach.  Fair Life is lactose free, but it taste sweeter than regular milk even though it has less sugar.  I am not sure what about it is upsetting his stomach.
