  • Does anyone know of an alternative soup that tastes like IP's broccoli and cheese soup? (The eBay route doesn't look feasible.)

    Thanks,

  • Quote: FWIW I didn't like the Simply Protein Whey bars at all. I ate one and returned the rest. I MUCH prefer Quest bars.
    That's why I'm glad there are SO MANY choices!
    I prefer the Simply Whey bars b/c they aren't as sweet.
    I try to do way more savory than sweet so I won't end up craving sweets when I get to maintenance.
    Quest bars are sweet and cause me cravings (yup! I love them too much!)

    Hi Lisa - I also love quest bars just a little too much...& for reasons unbeknownst to me they seem to stall my losses. I can't even speculate why that may be, but sometimes we need to trust the n=1 statistics. I'm curious if you use the simply protein as a restricted or an unrestricted item? Have you tried the mini bars?
  • Lisa,
    How do you make your rhubarb-Great Lakes collagen gelatin? I have the Great Lakes collagen.

    Thank you!
  • I tried the Proti Diet Peanut Butter and Smooth Caramel Crisp bar today and loved it!
  • I received my order from The Protein Store today and was pleased with how much product they put in a snack bag.

    I found pretzels, chips, cookies, and soup that's all IP compliant!!!
    I usually just buy chips and pretzels for a crunchy snack, but saw the cookies and had to try them. I'll let you know how they are!

    I chop the rhubarb, add about half cup water and nuke until very tender.
    Then I blend with my immersion blender & add appropriate amt of gelatin. Then pour into single serving dishes & chill

    I count all bars as restricted
    I believe I should restrict "treats" as they'll be restricted in maintenance

    My grocery has rhubarb. My farmers markets have in-season turnips now

    They are usually in a corner on their own, with parsnips and zucchini . At least that's how it is at Safeway
  • I've been dying to find rhubarb as I love it stewed with stevia....Lisa do you find it in the produce area? I think it's out of season.

    Just chiming in - i can find it frozen in most grocery stores off to the side of frozen fruit...usually by the frozen pie crusts & cool whip...It isn't near as good as the rhubarb from the garden, but it works on the off-season
  • Yes. Fresh produce.
    My store stopped carrying frozen. Bummer. It was much more convenient
  • My new favorite bar (yes, restricted) from Nashua Nutrition
    Soy Free
    Gluten Free
    Organic/non GMO
    Grass Fed Whey
    (these are a few of my favorite things)
    5 Flavors!
    They cost a little more but nonGMO/Organic usually does!
