Was this a mistake?
 

I got so excited to try Finn's Crispy Cereal croutons with my salad today that I didn't even realize that I was having a packet and meat at the same time. I had browned ground beef on my salad and added the croutons to it. Was this a big no-no? :?:

Btw, the croutons were amazing!! I made mine with olive oil, some Real Salt garlic salt, cracked black pepper and lots of dill. Soooooooo delicious!

I've added various savory restricteds with my salads and protein. No problems.

It's not a problem, just remember to count it into your packet count for the day.

Oh good. Thank you!

you'll be fine, i've breaded chicken with cereal and still had 3 packets and I was fine. Just don't do it everyday.

Glad you liked them! Good huh?

I personally try not to mix the IP packets with the meat proteins, but the "official" IP recipe Chef with the books does it all the time. So its not a no-no or a mistake.

For me, I just dont want to lump my various meals together or I get hungry later on in the day.

But since the croutons make so many, you could easily sprinkle 1/4 to 1/2 a of the croutons on a salad with meat, then snack on the remainder about an hour later to ward off the munchies.
