My postop saving grace while on liquids: French Onion Soup
I was growing SO WEARY of my clear liquids until it dawned on me last week that French Onion soup is clear as long as it's strained. I get it without cheese and bread and with as much broth as possible. Then I strain the onions to the side, as well. I realize it has more calories than plain beef broth, but I am balancing it out with other options throughout the day. Let me tell you, it has been enough to keep me going. I have found it in the freezer section at Trader Joes and Kroger. It doesn't look hard to make, either: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/french-oni on-soup-recipe2/index.html

I'm planning on doing this myself! Except I'm going to make mine in the crockpot because caramelizing the onions in a slow cooker = heavenly taste. Have you mixed it with plain protein powder at all or do you just sip the broth?
