I ate a lot of fat free refried beans. Also made some red chile pinto beans that I ran through the blender. Tasted pretty good. Mostly I stuck to beans as they were the easiest to prepare and squish.

Trying out myself with banana smoothie mixed with oats and Matcha green tea powder i prefer Almond Matcha Flavored Green Tea from matchaccino it can taste more better. matcha is a green tea powder with health great benefits which i very much enjoyed. it can loose weight and stabilized your sugar if you have diabetes.
This looks like something I would love. Thanks for posting!

I've been having good luck with grilled or poached salmon, scallops, and rotisserie chicken breast and well cooked green beans. Avocado as a side has also been great.
Hi there !!
Congratulations on thinking ahead -- it is one sure way to have what you need on hand.
I had surgery several years ago, but found the very small tupperware like containers worked perfect. If i didn't feel like washing them I didn't have a lot of heart burn about throwing them out.
Best of luck to you!!
This is a Rachel Ray recipe. I saw it on Facebook and thought I would give it a whirl. I'm so glad I did! It is wonderful and makes enough for multiple individual meals, or to feed 3-4 people. I'm going to make it again, using it as a filling in lettuce wraps, and I am going to make it into a burger with portobellas for my bun.

I can't tolerate eating citrus, no oranges or grapefruits. I can have it mixed with water and tolerate that well.
I could not eat eggs for a year or so, if I eat them slow and not overcooked I tolerate them well. Crazy enough I was hoping to get dumping from sweets, so I'd be able to leave them alone. I do have it, but can eat a bite or two without trouble.
