Pea Protein Powder
Many of us are well into our postoperative period and using ready shakes like Premiere Protein instead of powders. Since I've got so much regain to lose I'm trying to eat like a5 or 6 month newbie and protein powder works well now.
Somewhere on the internet people were saying how useful unflavored pea powder is in recipes. Did I save that info? No I didn't.
Tried it for the first time today in my cottage cheese. It was a sad experience but with lots of hot sauce I nearly finished the meal.
Have any of you used it before? It tastes a bit like powdered soy so it may need something strong to conceal it. It really thickened that cottage cheese too. That property might make it useful in something like a squash bake or a 'cream' soup. Maybe I should chuck it in the deep freeze and try it again when the weather turns cold. Pumpkin protein custard?
When you were a new postop did you use powdered proteins and if so, what kind?

Isopure has an unflavored protein powder I still use to add to food when I need it. It's a little pricey but worth it to me. Sometimes I add it to coffee, soup...all sorts of things.
as for pea protein powder...I hated it. I found it didn't mix well and just had an awful texture.
