Huge plate of veggie stir fry with chicken for 210 calories. Had two platefuls. Only brand of the tofu noodles I like.3 -
Currently doing daily ‘fit-faux-Frappuccino’ blender disasters.
Bags of frozen coffee ice cubes and frozen silk unsweetened cashew milk cubes in freezer.
Tossing a few of each into the blender with more cold coffee, some stevia/monkfruit, some l-theanine, a scoop of collagen, some MCT oil, 1/2 scoop of the Combat protein powder I’m trying to use up, and a splash of almond extract.
Blend.
Add xanathan.
Reblend.
Pack into 2 Talenti containers and stash in freezer while washing blender, etc.
Eat with spoon.

Best Protein Fluff recipe?
I’m looking for fewest fancy ingredients. I have a stocked kitchen in general but currently don’t have xanthan gum. Is it essential?1 -

I've been making the protein "ice cream",(not the same as the fluff), because I don't let the blender run for several minutes. Done it with and without xantham gum - I prefer it without. Not essential for me.2 -

All you really need is ice, whey/casein pp and milk/almond milk. Run the ice until snow add pp and liquid. Just that easy.1 -
I tried the whole eating smaller meals more regularly but ended up snacking loads at the end of the day so I think I’ve gained.
Today I’m accepting my volume eating and made a HUGE batch of chilli with soooo much veg and the whole lot ended up making two massive portions at about 500 calories per portion 😁 taking the second portion into work tomorrow for my tea.
What’s great is I don’t feel like snacking at all tonight, maybe have a light hot chocolate before bed but that’s amazing for me compared to the amount of crap I’ve been eating the last few weeks cuz I’ve felt unsatisfied6 -

Maybe I'll try this one out...0 -
Huge green salad with red onion,tomato, arulga, mixed greens and topped with a grilled Beast Burger with pepper jack. Dessert was chia pudding. Good to go for the night.
Also added a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. The jury is stil out on that. Have you tried it?
I use nutritional yeast as a cheese replacement in eggs a lot. I also love it with zucchini, it helps it not be so watery and gives it a cheesy flavor. I don’t sprinkle it, I weigh out one or two servings and dump it in my food to get the full flavor and thickener effect. I meal prepped 4 meals worth of zoodles, cooked them down a little with S&P, pepper flakes and one serving of nutritional yeast and served a turkey/cauliflower rice marinara on top of the zoodles which didn’t just dump all their water into my bowl, the yeast helps so much!

I also just ordered nutritional yeast (no clue what it tastes like) to sprinkle on broccoli, cauliflower, roast squash
Nutritional yeast has a cheesy flavor. Very nice on popcorn... plenty of ideas on the web about what to do with it. I would recommend just trying a little at a time until you figure out what works for you.
I used to get nutritional yeast in a huge tub (the empty is used as a waste basket) because I had cats who loved it. One cat would beg for more nutritional yeast topping before she even ate the regular cat food. Once I spilled a bunch on the floor and by the time I got back with something to clean it up -- it was GONE without a trace.
An alternative to Parmesan cheese is a blend of nutritional yeast and ground nuts/seeds. There must be recipes for homemade mixes floating around the web. I like the commercial Parma!, which just used ground walnuts originally but then added ground sunflower seeds and hemp seeds. So I think the possibilities are endless if you want to experiment.
I like to add Parma! to veggies, pasta, rice, etc. Also good on popcorn, especially with a green veggie powder.

I use ground cashews and nutritional yeast mix for vegan parm. Delicious and takes seconds to make. Never tried it on popcorn though, but definitely will, what a great idea!0 -

Volume peeps, what are you eating this week??
Inspire me!!
I’m such a mass eater that pasta does not count as volume in my world, unless it’s shirataki or seriously cut with veggie spirals.
What volume meals are you loving right now?
Any fun new volume-friendly finds?

I'm so boring...but still loving my baby bok choy/swiss chard/kale, etc., etc., and mandoline done daikon/English cucs/zucchini, mushrooms, Shirataki noodles etc., massive stir fries or salads, soups
Found some organic Oyster Mushrooms at T+T Market for a good price too...
Did decided to try this spice - a large container for around $10...so I hesitated. Sure glad I did! My new favorite spice (I LOVE spices!). It's like better version of lemon zest. I'm in love2 -

This snickerdoodle ice cream fluff was pure magic! Used 1/2 scoop cinnamon crunch PP and 1/2 scoop Salted caramel PP. Topping is 1/2 tbsp Sola sweetener with dash of cinnamon tossed in plain Ezekiel cereal.1
