Cooking Class Recap and Recipes

Thursday, July 2, 2009 by Lisa Buckalew
Hey all, if you did not attend the cooking class on June 25 you missed a great time.  Anessa introduced some great ideas and recipes to keep our summer on track.  The crowd was great with more than 60 patients in attendance!  Just one more way our team stands behind our you after surgery.  I hope to see all of you at the next class later this year. 

During the next few weeks, I will be posting the recipes Anessa developed for the class, (they all tasted so good).  Remember the recipes can be tweaked to your tastes, experiment and ejoy.

Caramel Drizzle Protein Shake

Most of us will use a protein supplement for the first year after weight loss surgery. Therefore, we better find food we like! After the first year, most bariatric patients can get the protein needed through food. However, if you need a shake...use it!

8 ounces skim milk or 1% soy milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ
1 tablespoon sugar free instant pudding mix, butterscotch flavor
1 teaspoon sugar free caramel syrup (such as Starbucks sugar free caramel latte syrup)
A handful of ice

In a blender, combine all the ingredients, blending until smooth. Add more ice if desired.

Enjoy your cold and frothy shake!
