What are your favorite IP packets? What does your weekly supply look like?
I'm almost at the end of my starter kit and getting ready to get IP food for my week 2/week 3. I'm looking for ideas.
My personal favorites are probably along the lines of chocolate shake, or cappucino, or the herb and cheese omelette (normally have one of these for breakfast for variety).
I also enjoy the raspberry jelly once a week as a treat. Also enjoy the chicken noodle soup, or the broccoli and cheddar soup. I haven't had a chance to try everything yet, but I've got myself into a stready routine of rotating those ones right now.
Also, dill pickle zippers and chocolate soy puffs are my absoloute fave, perfect for keeping me away from chips/chocolate bars etc.. on movie nights.
Since we are not allowed real fruit on the diet I tend to head in that direction: the wildberry yougurt, the peach mango drink, the raspberry jell-o, etc... I understand the strawberry wafers are excellent however I am not a strawberry fan so haven't (and most likely won't) try these. Was not a fan of the blueberry/pomegranite drink either though.... :P
For breakfast - cappacino drink, herb and cheese omlet w/ spinach, maple oatmeal, and crispy cereal (made into pancakes - the BEST!)
Lunch - broccoli cheese soup, chili, potato puree, and cran granata bar
Snack - butterscotch and vanilla puddings, chocolate soy puffs, lemon puffs, raspberry jello, apple cinnamon puffs, and BBQ ridges
I have tried most of the items available (since I can pick packets and not have to buy by the box) and these are my favorite. I make the pancakes on my days off and the rest are great for me on work days.
Breakfast - I have an omelet with a cup of mushrooms almost every morning. Occasionally I'll have the oatmeal.
Lunch - Potato Puree made into a soup with green onions, Spaghetti Bolognese with green onions & hot peppers, Chicken ala King with green onions & hot peppers, Chicken Noodle Soup with green onions & hot peppers. LOL...I think I see a theme here!
Snack - Chocolate Chip Cookie, Strawberry Wafers, White Choco Crispy Bar, Lemon Poppyseed Bar.
Extra for those times when I just don't have the time or am not able to make my regular lunch - Vanilla Ready To Drink as I can add some Da Vinci or Torani Sugar Free Syrup to make them any flavor I am currently craving.
This is essentially what I stock for IP product because it's the easiest for me.
Unrestricted: Vanilla, Chocolate, & Mango RTDs.
Restricted: Peanut Butter Crunch Bars (i have 2-3 restricteds/week) & the crepe mix is awesome to make faux english muffins (thanks again rainbowsmiles).
A co-worker of mine has a girlfriend who works at a clinic and occasionally she'll give him packets to try though he's not on the diet (thin as a rail). He gave me the strawberry wafer and OMG. I am not buying those things. SO GOOD.
