Made butter beans before the pool yesterday morning and had them for dinner. A hearty bowl (250g) has TWELVE grams of Fiber! WOOHOO! Kept calories in the 1,700, no thanks to the Entennmann's Rich Frosted PopEm's Donut Holes I've been working in (but recording). Buy One Get One Free sales are SUCH a temptation to me!
I've had peaches ripening in a paper bag for 3-4 days, and they are perfectly ripe now. A large peach is only 61 calories! YUMMY.
After someone's post about a Premier Protein cereal (that no one liked, but everyone commented on the shakes), I ordered ONE chocolate shake from Amazon to try it out. I won't have it until next week (if I had ordered 12, I would have gotten them in one day). I really don't like the thought of having to work in 160 calories, but I've been low on protein this whole month, so I need to do something to change that. TWO donut holes are 170 calories, so there's where I can make the trade. I really hope I like them.
How do y'all serve the Premier Protein shakes? Do you just drink them out of the box? Can they be frozen and then pulsed to taste like softserve ice cream? (Please say YES, LOL) I think someone mentioned making them into smoothies. Like, could you use the Strawberry one and blend in a banana? I'd love to hear your suggestions. I've got until Tuesday to decide how to give this shake its best shot at becoming a part of my life.
Just made Spaghetti Sauce (Ragu, plus fresh green pepper, onion, canned mushrooms, and several spices my husband tosses in). Having that for lunch. Wasn't sure how to count it, so I'm going with 1/2 of an Olive Garden dinner serving. I'm skipping the Texas Toast I will make for my husband. It was 180 calories, and I decided I'd rather have the two PopEm's instead. Plus, I have Dave's Killer Good Seed bread toasted with butter for breakfast and "with dinner." (Actually, I eat that when I get up in the middle of the night - but I work it into my food plan. It makes me happy!)
Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. Going to be a lazy day for me.

Oh! The Premier Protein shakes are a great 160 calories to add. I buy fresh fruit and then freeze it. Add some frozen fruit to your shake and blend it up - tastes like ice cream. I use vanilla shakes when I add fruit. The Caffe Latte flavor is great if you enjoy coffee. Make sure the shakes are cold before you drink.

Sounds like a good plan Debbie; you're doing great.

I drink the shakes with coffee or cold brew. If it's too thick, just add a bit of water. And serve cold. I also use it with sugar-free pudding mix and split into 4 servings (yum! But still tweeking my recipe-too thick) I also prefer Pure Protein brand. They are 140 cals/30g protein and a thinner consistency. But they are more expensive here! Like $9.99/4 shakes 😲😲 (I always look for coupons) I'm following this post for more Ideas. 😁👍

Also, you may have already posted this, but how do you make your butter beans? I struggle with fiber too but have never made beans at home before.

I'll let Debbie answer the butter beans question, Rosie, but have you tried canned beans? We always have canned garbanzos, black beans, kidney beans, and pintos on hand, and they're so easy to throw in with grains or soup or a salad. You can buy them without salt if you want. We always rinse them before using. If you cook from dried beans, the trick is to presoak them well with some baking soda in the water. If you get some bubbles in the soak water, don't worry about it. Won't hurt anything. Dump the water and rinse the beans before cooking. Lentils will also give you a hearty dose of fiber and protein, and those are easier. No presoaking required, and they cook up in about 20 minutes

Do you have a Costco membership? If you like them (the shake, after you try it), that’s really the way to go. I prefer Fair Life shakes because it’s dairy based, and doesn’t contain oils/stabilizers, etc. You can usually get the FL shakes at AM PM or 7-11, you can decide which one you like better.

I think you can make a frozen smoothie from most anything. Do peaches improve in flavor when you ripen them or only in texture? I thought pears were the only fruit that got sweeter when ripening off the tree. Thank you for your (and your church's) prayers. I've been in a hard place the last 3 days (I journaled about some of it today) plus the intense pain of sciatica the last 3 weeks.

@Rosie We Can Do It, I cook my butter beans in the InstantPot. I use two 28-oz bags of frozen baby lima beans. Put them in the InstantPot with one stick of butter, 3/4 pound of country ham, diced to 1/4", add 1-1/2 Tbsp. Kosher salt, and fill with water to cover them by about 1". Cook on High Pressure 22 minutes, then let Natural Release until the pin drops. Melt-in-your-mouth goodness. (If you're watching sodium content, though, this would not be for you. They're what I consider to be "perfectly salted," but I shudder to think of how much sodium they really contain. I'd rather not know because I LOVE them, and love that they have 12 grams of fiber in a 250g bowl of beans with just a couple tablespoons of the liquid.)
