I’ve struggled with an eating disorder in the past and now that I’m not so restrictive I really enjoy getting to eat a lot of food that I don’t have to feel bad about, but I still struggle with getting to a point where I feel full, being both very active and vegetarian. I would love to eat an even greater volume of veggies and fruit but it gets pricey.
Not a great idea to start trying to volume eating if your recovering or have had EDs2 -
To whoever said add more water to oats, God bless you. Blueberries, apples, couple peanuts, choc protein powder for fun.
Mine today!! 25 g oats, 250 ml water, cooked on very low in microwave for 5 mins then added 10 g oat bran and 30 g chocolate soy protein powder
Protoplasm: if you can turn down the power level on your microwave you can cook it longer, making it absorbs more water, without overflowing3 -
Ahhh, I finally read through the whole thread. I have screenshot so many recipes. 😋
This is my first bowl of fluff out of two. I forgot how much it made lol! I topped the second one with PBFit.
Has anyone's one ever put a frozen banana in their fluff? I find that it gives it a similar texture to cool whip. It's soooo good.

Made some 'cookies' (80 calories for 17 cookies) - They were 'ok'....
And of course more Mocha ice 'cream' and thought I'd try out the Dagona 'craze' using a coffee (barley/chicory, etc., ) alternative ...it worked!

@just_Tomek - Thanks...I'm quite liking the 'coffee'0

We're gonna need the deets on those cookies please. What the heck are they and did you like them?1 -
These 'cookies' were ok...would be much better with maybe some 'crunch' action too....maybe next time:
Dry:
2.5 grams of oat fiber (Anthony's)
1.5 grams of coconut flour
1.5 grams of vanilla protein whey powder
1 gram each chia and flax meal
Baking powder/Xanthum gum and baking soda (around 1/4 tsp. each)
salt/cinnamon/stevia
Wet:
25 gram of canned pure pumpkin
10 gram of dry cottage cheese curd
12 grams of greek yogurt
63 grams of egg whites
Whip the egg whites - add xanthum and continue to whip.
Blend all the rest of the wet ingredients separately. Gently fold into egg whites.
Blend dry ingredients and again gently fold into egg white mixture
I piped them out baked around 7-8 minutes @ 350. I think if I make them again, I'll turn off the temperature after 7-8 minutes and let them crisp up a bit more.

Did you just make that foam with coffee on the bottom or is that a bowl full of that foam???
The last picture is just the whipped up coffee. Didn't have any almond milk, so I later put some on a bit of yogurt and ice 'cream' 🙃0 -

All of the Dalgona coffee posts had me inspired to make a coffee fluff for the last few weeks. The milk part on the bottom doesn’t appeal to me, but a big bowl of whipped coffee definitely does.
I don’t have a picture, but I made a fantastic bowl yesterday. Pretty much the same recipe and procedure as your standard protein fluff, just minus the protein powder and plus some instant coffee powder. I topped it with a little cocoa powder and some granulated stevia. Super low in calorie for such a decadent feeling treat!

I also prefer large volumes of food, but I don't really eat fruits or veggies, so it is something I struggle with. Following along for, hopefully, some good ideas.
My best addition to this thread, though it's not "real food" is probably going to be protein fluff. Basically, 1 scoop of casein, 10ish oz of a liquid, and a little xanthan gum, then whip the hell out of it... ends up having the consistency very similar to mousse or whipped cream.

AWesome! I am going to try it with plant protein.I use Glucomannan to make my protein super thick and make it warm, hot with cinnamon on top. I am having that right now
I am not sure plant protein works for fluff... I think casein is required (doesn't have to be 100%, protein powders that have a mix of it and whey also work - like Quest).
Volume- Pea Protein works for me a ton!! Also, Sunwarrior Warrior blend chocolate is fantastic for volume.
Adding Glucomannan powder (Konjak root) does incredible things for smoothies, oats and soups. I have used it for years. It is available on line. It only takes a little. Similar to Xanthian but not as jelly like0 -

I do pretty much the same...I use cold espresso for the 'liquid' needed for making...put a good amount of cocoa powder too as it is mixing...so yum1 -
I have found my favorite thread! I am a major volumizer. Yay!3

We have posted about 100 different variations in this thread lol
To summerize, dump all into the food processor and let her rip watching it grow. Do not try to freeze some for later, unless you like flavoured ice cube.
LOL!! WEll I have been missing out and just found this awesomeness. Ive been scanning through the posts and putting recipes on desktop to use! I have some too that will be shared of course.0 -

I’ve recently discovered I’m a volume eater. I would rather have three giant meals a day than spread everything out and eat small for 5 or 6 meals. BUT my issue is: I don’t do it with veggies! You guys are giving me great ideas and I love it!1

I discovered her a few years ago - given me lots of good ideas
Regarding the ice 'cream' fluff, etc., I've been incorporating guar gum (a small, small amount 1/4 tsp. for entire blender amount) is helping with decreasing the 'iciness' factor - Increases viscosity and the smoothness of texture and resistance to melting increases. Lots of frozen desserts use guar gum I've noticed.2 -

Thanks - easy to make - just time to blend and blend and blend and a few hours to freeze:
Equipment:
You NEED to have a powerful blender - like a Vitamix (I have a Ninja 'Professional' blender)
1/8 cup of cold strong coffee into blender
1 tsp of vanilla/caramel extract and sweetener of choice ( I use Stevia)
*I’ve been now using stevia along with some Salted Chocolate/Espresso Jordan Skinny Syrup too!
2 TBSP. of dark cocoa powder (or more if you like)
Add 1/2 tray of ice - blender to break up. Add remaining ice cubes blend again.
Add another 1/2 tray of ice - blend. Sometimes more.
Add 1 tsp. of Xanthum gum (keeps it less icy and really thickens it up.
Put in freezer for a few hours and then it's 'ready' - or just eat the fluff straight away (much more like ice cream though if you freeze it) Add whatever to make it yummy - berries, etc.,
Not bad for around 25-30 calories!
*the Greek Yogurt Hearts are just plain yogurt frozen into little silicon molds.
Another new for me. I am loosening this thread0 -

Get:
0.25 cup, Apple Sauce
1 tsp, Baking Powder
2 cup, Pure Pumpkin
1 Tablespoons, Salt
30 g, protein powder ANY (I used myprotein Vanilla)
3 large, Egg
1 Tablespoon, Vanilla
Do:
#1. Crack eggs and separate white from yolk.
#2. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks (photo 1)
#3. Mix the yolks and protein powder until well combined.
#4. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix until its all combined. Taste for sweetness. To my taste I did not need to add any sweetened because the protein powder was sweet enough. (photo 2)
#5. In 3 parts fold in the beaten egg whites into the mix. Just until combined. Dont over mix. I used a spatula for this (photo 3)
#6. Line a baking pan or spring pan (I used the same one I am using for my cheesecake (6x3) and it was almost to the top before baking, and fill with the mix. Top with some shaved chocolate and berries if you like, like I did.
#7. Bake at 375F for 45 - 50 minutes. In my Breville Smart Pro it was 45 minutes. Do the tooth pick test to be sure.
#8. Allow to cool and enjoy a slice or the whole thing.

My coffee fluff from yesterday!! 😍1 -
oh joy...my Ninja Nutri Ninja Auto iQ has decided not to work...so, I'm on the look for purchasing a powerful blender to replace.
What are your recommendations? I really want one that is powerful to turn all those ice cubes I keep throwing into the well to turn into 'snow' with no problems.

Spend the money once and get a Vitamix for $320cdn shipped.
Or spend the same amount of money many times and never know what you are missing.
Thanks! I sure was thinking of a Vitamix. There's a few on sale (website). The E310 is just under $400.
Which one do you have? I noticed you used a food processor for your latest 'fluff'. Do you prefer that over using the Vitamix for your fluff?0 -

If you aren't a member of rakuten, they have a promo now for 30 bucks for new members plus you get 5% cash back on vitamix website. Always trying to help people save money, those are expensive!
I have a vitamix and a food processor and I've only used the food processor to make fluff, but I am going to try it with the vitamix since @just_Tomek says it works and I prefer it because its easier to clean.0 -

Thanks so much🌷🌼🌻 - I did sign up months ago with Rakuten...keep forgetting to use it though🙄 Thanks for my reminder.0 -
So I am completely plant based and have made lots of the protein recipes using pea protein. It works awesome! I tried with just cocoa powder for fluff and it was not good.... It was a jelly. Lol!
Has anyone used egg substitute? There is one called " Just Egg". I am going to try it on a few recipes0 -

@just_Tomek - Thanks for your recommendations. Well...since I have the patience of a small child, I bought one today - the only one available for curb side pick up. I got the Explorian model - perfect size and I absolutely love the tamp 'thing' - works way better than the Ninja one I had (no tamp).0
