I just tried the ProtiDiet pizza and tomato sauce. It wasn't bad. Definitely helps with the pizza craving. Next time I am going to add a bit of mashed cauliflower to the crust. I added diced mushrooms and leftover turkey burger, not quite an oz. It was pretty good. I think a pinch of veggie shreds would be nice but I do not have any
My pizza packet was a mess. I added in the appropriate amount of water in e dough, but it was all chunks and thick. So I added a little more,and it was better. Then when I tried to spread it the dough kept sticking to everything. Im a very inexperienced cook, so maybe it was my inexperience showing through...

It is pretty chunky but I just kept mashing it with my fork. I put it on parchment paper then dipped my fingers in olive oil and mashed it flat. Hope this helps.

I put the dough between parchment paper and roll it out that way. It is very sticky and sticks to everything otherwise.
I'm curious if anyone has the following recipes:
The oatmeal muffin recipe
The pudding cookie recipe
Also, can the pudding be made into muffins like the IP ones?
I'm hesitant to use my packets for the IP recipes, since I hear they cook differently
I use ProtiDiet oatmeal and I make loaves of this.
Zuchini muffins
1 package of Ideal Protein Maple Oatmeal
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tsp of stevia
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2-3/4 of small zucchini finely grated (squeeze out excess juice) 2-3 oz water
Beat the egg in a bowl. Add Maple Oatmeal, baking powder, salt, Sucralose, cinnamon, and zucchini. Mix and gradually add water until you have a good batter. Bake at 385°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Makes 3 regular muffins or 12-bite size

For cheesecake, I've only had Wonderslim and really like it. I add a T of WF raspberry or strawberry jelly and it's delish.
I just had a thought. In the past, I've participated in garden seed swaps, where people trade what they have. I wonder if something similar could be done with alternative products. You just have to agree on what to trade, and then be responsible for the shipping cost. I know that anything under 13 oz is really reasonable.
Stop the bus, am I the last to know or the first to discover that Wonderslim products at Diet Direct are the SAME as Weight Loss Systems at Nashua?
Rainbowsmiles' brilliant new cheesecake recipe led me to Nashua to look up WLS cheesecake, and after looking at other WLS products, I realized they must be identical twins with different names! I'm familiar with several Wonderslim products, so I recognized that the "Snack-Os" look to be the same as the WLS Snack Bites, and Wonderslim Pretzel Snacks are the same as WLS Pretzel Twists, and so on right down the line. Wow, this is cool! I think I'll just shop Nashua now.

The WLS products seem to be quite a bit higher in Carbs than allowed...is there a limited selection that work?
I use many of their products, some fall under the "restricted" category but many are "unrestricted" - are you referring to any in particular?

LOL they sell the product under a few brand names - my nutrition store sells them under the name "Balanced Protein" Many companies do this, I also buy some Health Wise products that are also marketed under the "Healthsmart" brand.

I would be up for this- I am getting a little collection of things I don't really like and can't be bothered to doctor. And why is it that my sample bag from Nashua always includes at least one thing that we don't like? Coconut, broccoli, mango.... it has almost become a game with us, when we open the little bag we try to guess what will be in there that we don't like! Not complaining, free is free and there have been a few things I have enjoyed trying, but lately we are on a bad tear.

Haha, I know!!! I really cannot stand the HealthSmart drinks. They have the consistency of pepto bismal, and they ALWAYS SEND ONE! I mean it's great that they send samples but I have struck out on most most of them.

I did several trades of IP products. I'd certainly be up for an alt trade (unless we all like the same thing!) I'm not a fan of the WLS cheesecake pudding so I have 6 packets of that I'd LOVE to trade.
Much of what I haven't been fond of I've just mixed with an IP packet and used at 2 different times (creamy soups, for example). What I am fond of: Protidiet Pink Lemonade & Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal! (and almost everyone's favorite: cocomint pudding)
Many companies do this, I also buy some Health Wise products that are also marketed under the "Healthsmart" brand.
