Topic: cream of caulifower cheese soup
i just started full liguids yesterday and  looking for some variety in creamy soups, high in protein and no flour to thicken as I am gluton intolerant. Invented this on my first try out and turned out quite well. Allthough it was a more of a puree, but you could easily add another cup of broth to thin it out.. Still wondering about added seasonings, plan to try some with each of the eight servings I go t out of it:

15 oz frozen cauliflower
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
7 oz soft silken tofu cut into cubes
1 cup fat free cheddar cheese.

Bring caulifower and broth to a boil, cover, simmer for 10-15 minutes or until caulfower is very soft.
Remove from heat
You can  then add the tofu and cheese, and blend away until smooth-the easiest way is to just use a  stick  blender. Add more broth if needed to make desired consistency.

Topic: Mock Rice Pudding...YUMMY, YUMMY!!!!!!
1 small box sugar/fat free instant Vanilla pudding
1/2 c whipping cream or lite cool whip
1 8 oz container low fat cottage cheese
raisins
cinnamon

Mix the box of vanilla pudding with 1.75 c low fat mil****il thickened; about 3 minutes; add the container of cottage cheese.  Sprnkle about 1/8 tsp cinnamon onto mixture.

In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until thick and fold into the pudding/cottage cheese  mix.  If you are using Cool Whip, fold directly into the pudding/cottage cheese.

If you like soft raisins, add them into the mixture and adjust the cinnamon.

If you like chewy raisins, dust the top of the mixture with cinnamon and sprinkle raisins on top.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Total time to make about 3 minutes!!!  Yummy

Topic: RE: Protein shakes with greek yogurt
I like greek yogurt in protein shakes that are fruity tasting. I took note from Bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com about freezing greek yogurt in ice cube trays and adding the ice cubes to your shakes. I like to mix 0% plain greek yogurt with SF DaVinci syrup, usually banana, and then freeze that into ice cubes. Then I add two greek yogurt ice cubes to my shake. I've also frozen milk and added less liquid but more mil**** cubes to make my shake creamier. Both add the creaminess but I find the yogurt taste is too over powering for non-fruit flavours.

One recipe I'm currently liking is: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/3 banana (frozen), 3 whole frozen strawberries, 1 cup orange sunrise crystal light, 2 Tbsp. unsweetened apple sauce, and 2 SF Davinci banana flavoured greek yogurt ice cubes. It's based on the Jugo Classico smoothie from Jugo Juice and tastes pretty good.

You could also do different combos of fruit and fluid (like mixed berries, with milk and SF Strawberry davinci flavoured greek yogurt cubes would be good) to suit your personal preferences.

Hope this helps!
