Overnight oats with greek yogurt or cottage cheese.SnakePlissken wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 9:02 am Also what do you mix protein powder with to make it bearable. I used to do smoothies with full fat greek yogurt and it was good, but sounds like a bad time with protein powders.
Smoothies -- my favorite is frozen strawberries, frozen spinach, chia seeds, a banana, and vanilla whey. If I'm cutting I'll use almond milk. If not, I'll use real milk. When I'm cutting this is my first meal of the day every day. ~400 calories, 30g of protein, and filling AF because of the fiber.
I also did cream of rice with vanilla protein powder and honey for a while. I got sick of it after a few months -- but initially thought it was pretty tasty. You need casein or a mix though, not pure whey. I was using Granite's protein powder which is casein/egg white/whey.
On topic, you legit can't shop at Whole Foods anymore (again). We almost never went but when Amazon took over and prices dropped paying a 10% premium over Market Basket was worth it for the convenience (we live next to one and can order online and pickup with no additional charge -- which is a life saver with 2 babies). The premium is back to something absurd. Our grocery bill goes up like $5/wk for the same items every week and now that it's hit almost $200 I'm pulling the plug.
Guess we're eating like we did in college again. Although in college I could have legit eaten out for every effing meal for less than we're spending on groceries now -- which includes such extravagance as vegetables, frozen chicken (which has gone from $7/lb to $12), and organic milk. Milk is actually one of the biggest killers. My family is basically on GOMAD between me, my wife, and two 90th percentile young sons who prefer 80% of their calories come from milk. Whole Foods brand milk has gone from like $4/gallon to $7 in a year. Organic Valley is $9/gallon rofl (which I purchased a few times as it was marked as a substitute before realizing what was happening).
