My husband has some dental work coming up which will mean being on a soft diet off and on for several months. We both need to lose weight, but he also has to get enough protein in for good healing, even while on the soft foods.
We'd both like to lower our cholesterol, too, so I figure we can start doing oatmeal for breakfast more often. However, it doesn't seem to keep either of us full until lunch. I'd like to try adding either egg whites or protein powder into it, both to make it more filling and help DH get the required protein. (We've tried adding peanut butter already, but didn't like it.)
Also, I'd like to add protein to other soft foods I'll be giving him, like mashed potatoes. But most of the protein powder ideas I've read use kind of dessert-y flavors like vanilla, chocolate, etc. Is there anything that would work better in savory foods? I guess unflavored would be good, if it didn't actually taste bad. Also, since I'll be eating this, too, are they all about the same calorie-wise?
I've heard good things about the pre-mixed Premier Protein shakes for just drinking straight, but I have no idea about the powders. Any suggestions, including brand names and where to buy them? FYI, I have a GNC, Walmart and BJ's Wholesale nearby.
