Reddit mentions: The best frozen foods

First off, good on you for signing up for a HM as your first race! Woo! That's ambitious!

I know it's scary to not have run the full amount of distance, but trust me, you'll get through it. Just stick with your training until the end and trust yourself to put one foot in front of the other.

/r/running is a good resource for anything and everything HM too, including race day tips. I'm following Hal Higdon's Novice 2 HM plan loosely for my second HM this September and I'm happy with it.

As to "whip back into it" I would start out small: something doable and better than nothing. I ran 2 miles yesterday (just 2!) but feel better about everything knowing that I ran at all. Don't skip a single long run until your race.

It's OK to be nervous; it's part of the race. Everyone else around you is feeling the same way. The energy is awesome and it will get you through.

Good luck! :)

Oh, and what /u/vegetablesactivated said is very important: no new gear, not even your socks. It's important to feel very comfortable with your gear and goo. I eat Honey Stingers and love them; I don't actually really like goo.

I love ice cream, (I'm also lactose intolerant and thankful I'm single, sleep alone because I won't kill anyone else with my farts but I digress...) and have been trying out any of the "low cal" ice creams I can find at the grocery.

I'm not on low cal, but I can get behind indulging more less active days. I've a handful of Halo Top flavors, but only found success in chocolate thus far.

Anywho, a few ice creams I've tried in the past 3 weeks:

Breyer's Delights Cookies and Cream(~300 cals/pint) - not bad! It's got the taste and feel of the regular stuff, but I think it could use a few more cookies since there's only 4 grams of sugar so it's just barely sweet. I wish it slighty sweeter, but overall it's pretty good. A keeper in my freezer.

B&Js Moophoria Caramel Cookie Fix (~160cals/serving) - this is going to be a staple in my freezer. It was a little softer than other ice creams, but tastes awesome. Nearly 4x the sugar of Breyer's though, so that explains it.

[B&Js Moophoria Mocha Fudge Brownie] (https://www.benjerry.com/flavors/mocha-fudge-brownie-moophoria)(~160 cals/serving) - hard pass. This has the taste of what's left of the bottom of an unfiltered coffee pot. I was really disappointed since I love the caramel cookie fix

Halo Top Dairy Free Caramel Macchiato (320 cals/pint) - hard pass. It really tasted like milky cardboard to me. It's made from coconut milk which is great, but the flavor was really lacking. I've seen the sea salt caramel one has great reviews so I'll see if I can find that one in store.

I don't know if your cutting or bulking but these are for cutting, if I was bulking I imagine I would maybe use more fats or something. I've been cutting for a looonnngg time. I went from 278lbs and just weighed in today at 207, started heavy lifting when I was at 230. So I had to make meals I enjoy eating and I cut down on cooking time as much as possible without resorting to meal prepping because I don't really have that kind of room in the fridge. I actually make meals following recipes (I make some adjustments) instead of eating like a bowl of broccoli with a bowl of beans etc., because if I didn't I can't imagine how I could sustain it long enough to lose the amount of weight I have/had to lose. So these recipes just work for me. I've done macro ratios splits (and been really precise about it before) but right now all I care about its hitting protein as high as I can, while keeping the fats in the 15-20% range and letting the carbs fall where they are but I try to keep high carbs like 45-50%. I average 172g protein. I calculate the macros for all the recipes using myfitnesspal's recipe maker.


--------------------------
BREAKFAST
---------------------------

Alright so I eat oatmeal sprinkled with cinnamon everyday made with nonfat milk which gives me enough carbs plus 14g protein to power me through my workouts. Some days I add a tbsp or 2 peanut butter if I'm low on fats that day also gives extra protein. If you don't care for carbs I would make something else like a egg white breakfast burrito or something.

-----------------------------------------
SUPPLEMENTS/SNACKS
---------------------------------

• Protein Shakes
  
  The supplements is where I get a good amount of my protein. I'll have 2-3 whey protein shakes at least one with nonfat milk.
  
  
• Protein Bars
  
  I also make and eat one of these no bake protein bars everyday. They make 10 bars out of oatmeal, peanut butter, whey protein powder, a little vanilla extract and a little nonfat milk for mixing. Its kind of tricky to make but once you get it down it's simple ingredients, and easy to make with 214 calories, 18g protein, 19g carbs, 8g fat. I've posted my tips on how to make it before here
  
  
• Edamame (soybeans) or what I like to call 'em, Senzu Beans
  
  Great source of protein with low fat. You can buy these dry snacks. Or if you don't mind cooking add 2 quarts of water and 1 cup of edamame in their shell (in the frozen aisle in the grocery store), cover and let it simmer for about 5-8 minutes and then drain and sprinkles with salt they're actually really delicious. That makes 50 calories, 4 grams protein, 5 grams carbs, 1 gram fat. You can make 3 cups to make 150 calories, 12 g protein, 15 gram carbs, 3 g fats etc.
  
  
• Mango "Lassi" Protein Smoothie (or mango flavored yogurt)
  
  I got tired of making this because I was cutting my own mangos and freezing them because the frozen ones at the store sucked and without good mangoes this recipe is god awful. With good mangoes though its amazing.
  
  145 calories, 18g protein, 19g carbs, 0g fat. (Pistachios omitted)
  http://dailyburn.com/life/recipes/mango-lassi-protein-smoothie-recipe/
  
  
• I know you asked for high protein but if you want a delicious tasting high carb, spinach and fruit green smoothie I would make this. Can't even taste the spinach. If I could fit them into my macros everyday I would. Plus you feel so healthy drinking it but I feel like I'm cheating. Good mangoes are key though.
  
  -----------------------------------------------------
  LUNCH/DINNER MEALS
  --------------------------------
  
  
• Black Bean Quesadillas
  
  I always look forward to eating these probably my favorite meal. You can make 10 and stick them in the freezer. I follow the recipe exactly except I use whole wheat tortillas and reduced fat cheese. (For more protein you can make more black beans for the side use nonstick spray for low fat).
  
  Two quesadillas give 440 calories, 20g protein, 62g carbs, 14g fat.
  http://www.budgetbytes.com/2012/02/hearty-black-bean-quesadillas/
  
  
• Broccoli Cheddar Casserole
  
  I use reduced fat cheese, brown rice, whole wheat flour, nonfat milk (works fine trust me turn the heat all the way high instead of medium), cut the butter in half (I use my mom's ghee which we call kay), and add half a cup of nutritional yeast. This doesn't take long at all trust me the cooking time is mostly oven and cooking rice.
  
  ~372 calories, 22g protein, 44g carbs, 11g fat.
  http://www.budgetbytes.com/2015/03/broccoli-cheddar-casserole/
  
  
  
• Seitan w/Broccoli and Sriracha
  
  I also make my own seitan (heard you can buy it at some asian stores though). I use the recipe down below because it tastes great and is easy to make, makes 4 servings. 278 calories 49g protein, 15g carbs, 1 g fat.
  I eat it with this broccoli cooked like this (recipe below) but with nonstick spray so I don't have so much fat. It takes like 5-7 minutes to steam. It makes 2 servings, 118 calories, 9g protein, 21g carbs, 1.5g fat.
  Then I pour some sriracha over it and chow down.
  
  http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/homemade-seitan/
  http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/simple-and-satisfying-broccoli-recipe.html
  
  
• Black Bean Burgers
  
  I make this with whole wheat buns and eat it with spicy ketchup and honey mustard. I substituted the egg (I needed lower fats plus I'm cutting out eggs from my diet) for 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (protein) and 2tbsp corn starch with 3tbsp water for binding.
  
  460 calories, 23g protein, 90g carbs, 5g fats.
  
  http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/sandra-lee/black-bean-burgers-recipe.html
  
  
• Lasagna Roll Ups
  
  Makes 14 (Eat 2 for one serving) and you can put them in the freezer for later. I don't really enjoy eating these anymore they're meh (kinda bland) and I'm embarrassed eating them in front of people when they're microwaved leftovers but I still eat them because the macros are so good on it. There are better recipes like four cheese stuffed shells that are similar but taste better but it's way more cooking, I got tired of that.
  I used reduced fat moz cheese, part skim ricotta the rest is like the recipe.
  
  2 roll ups - 466 calories, 29g protein, 54 carbs, 14 g fats.
  
  http://www.budgetbytes.com/2011/01/spinach-lasagna-roll-ups/
  
  
• Rajma
  
  I also make my my mom's rajma but with less fat and salt so it doesn't taste as good. Also I make it thicker (makes it easier to measure the servings) I can provide the recipe if you like but I'm just trying this and not sure how long I'll be continuing with it. I eat it with 3/4 cups brown rice and I get
  
  448 calories, 25g protein, 93g carbs, g fat.
  
  
• Apple Cheddar Panini
  
  2 whole wheat slices bread, 8 oz reduced fat mild cheddar off the block, half a medium apple (300gram fuji apple) sliced kinda thin, 1tbsp honey mustard. If you don't have a panini press (I don't) use nonstick pan spray with pam and put a plate and then something heavy over it. Cook on both sides tlll cheese melts. I don't like the honey mustard really so I take it out, but here macros with it.
  
  350 calories, 20g protein, 38g carbs, 13g fat.
  
  
• Tofu
  
  I'm still testing out tofu recipes. I found one I like but I got tired of making them just because the wait time for draining the tofu then baking it was too long but Tofu is a great source of protein.
  
  
• PB Sandwich (whole wheat) w/Milk
  
  You can count the macros yourself but it's really high protein but also in fats but it's a good if you have nothing to eat emergency meal.
  
  
• Fake Meats
  
  I don't really like to eat processed food but if you won't care, incorporating these will make your life way easier. I use these sometimes, for emergencies if I don't feel like cooking or I don't feel like running out to the store to buy some ingredients I'm missing for that day.
  I like Morningstars Grillers and Crumbles. You can make burgers with the grillers, with the crumbles you can make Low Carb Sriracha "Beef" wraps. http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2012/01/recipe-for-quick-sriracha-beef-lettuce.html
  I like Field House (Seitan) Sausage that are 25g protein for 250 calories, and I'll eat that with 170g potato which I sliced really thin and then nuked in the microwave with cooking spray until crispy kind of crispy and then season with salt after. I wish a store near me had fake chicken strips so I could make fajitas.

You. Sir. Are. Amazing. Thanks a TON for the huge reply. I just weighed myself, and give or take the shitty scale error, I'm ~230, which isn't quite as bad as I expected. I still have a ways to go, I think I'd like to be under 200 by the end of sophomore year it at all possible. Eating right in college is tough because I have a dining plan. Salads are, however, looking like a good option, as the dorm has a wonderful salad bar that isn't too expensive. I've since gotten a case of this edamame (roasted soybeans) which I'm told is a fantastic food for snacking on. I take a package to work and go through it in a few days.

On the topic of working out, I've never ever been able to run worth crap. People say I need to train and all that, but I never get any better, so I might try that again when I get back in shape. For now though, it's a no no. I did 2 years of weight training in HS, and I'm getting back into it in college with a bunch of good friends who also enjoy it.

I've tried the Livestrong.com online calorie tracker before, but I kinda just lost track of it, so I'm going to try to get that going again. It starts tomorrow morning!

Thanks again, you're the greatest. I'll probably be sending you a PM to maybe get in touch a bit better in the next few days, you seem like an awesome guy!

We just went on a big shopping trip this afternoon. We are going to attempt to fly our 4x6 foot flag with 3, 5 feet sections of 1 and a quarter inch PVC pipe, some connectors, a bucket, and 50 pounds of quick crete (about $20 total). We have one of the pipes cut into a point just in case we need to mallet it into the ground. Our list, and other distracting items. We also have duct tape just in case.

I also just bought a two plug car AC converter. I bought these recently. Excellent source of fiber and protein. And 600 glowstick bracelets.

We have acquired most everything we need. We will end up buying around 8-9 24 packs of water in addition to a dozen or so gallons and some other easy access water. We have a 15 passenger van with back seats taken out (no storage concerns), and its our first time going, but we figure people will be needing water come Sunday.

Here is a list of the things we purchased today. Maybe a thing or two will give you some ideas. We also used this as a guide and checklist as well:

• -9x9 feet EZ Canopy
  
• -6 cases of 24 waters
  
• -a few gallon jugs of water
  
• -2, 2.5 jugs of drinking water with spigget
  
• -7 liters of gatorade
  
• -imodium
  
• -antacid
  
• -acetometaphin/caffine/aspirin in one
  
• -3 in 1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash
  
• -bungee cords (4, a variety of sizes)
  
• -100 feet of twine/high tensil string
  
• -lamp oil
  
• -small baby power and antibacterial gel
  
• -4, 5 foot sections of 1,1/4" PVC pipe with connectors
  
• -4 buckets (to carry water, epsom salt, etc)
  
• -50 lbs of quickcrete (to put in bucket to make 15 foot flagpole with above)
  
• -UV resistant, 8" zip ties
  
• -UV resistant, thick tarp in case of rain and to cover the tent from sun heat
  
• -baby wipes
  
  
  Some things we bought individually: ear plugs, eyemask for sleep, offbrand camelbaks (2 liters with additional storage), flasks, granola bars (a variety, including a few boxes of high fiber), twizzlers, a metal hot/cold thermos, sugar free red bull (8 cans). should be bringing a few pounds of homemade beef jerky.
  
  This all totaled around $250 or so.
  
  [Friend], this is what we need you to buy:
  
  
• -100 or more red cups
  
• -paper towels
  
• -toilet paper
  
• -more baby and wet wipes
  
• -coke/coke zero/any mixers in cans, not 2 liters
  
• -5 hour energies (Wal-Mart may be cheaper than Costco? It was 10 for $16)
  
• -zip lock bags (a variety of sizes)
  
• -battery powered fan
  
• -more gallons and cases of water. the more, the better
  
• -gold bond extra strength
  
• -clif bars
  
• -dish/plasticware
  
• -oil/fuel/pots/pans for your stove
  
• -gatorade powder
  
• -miscellaneous food items. we didn't buy a whole lot of food. or anything that could be cooked. i figure you can use your judgment and we'll go to Wal-Mart the night before.

Here's a pic.:
https://www.amazon.com/Ore-Ida-Potatoes-OBrien-Onions-Peppers/dp/B000YG3A8E

They're really just diced potatoes with onions and peppers. I love that kind of stuff, but never call them by that name. I like to fry up some pretty good chunks of potatoes and onions, and I prefer to broil them, actually.

I cook the potatoes about half-way, then add the onions. The broiler seems to be perfect for keeping them from sticking. I just pull them out a few times to stir them and it's pretty quick and easy stuff.

What is a go-to potato recipe for you?

It's a self created recipe but here it is.....

1 pack Italian Field Roast Sausages
1 box Banza Chickpea Pasta (spaghetti or penne)
16 oz white or baby Bella mushrooms
16 oz Bell pepper. I use Whole Foods frozen usually 365 Everyday Value, Organic Three Pepper Blend, 16 oz, (Frozen) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074H7324Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WlJlDbWHJQQZM
16 oz sauce I usually use Rao's tomato or Kale pesto https://pinchofyum.com/5-minute-vegan-kale-pesto
2 tbsp x2 oil of your choice (almond or Olive is what I use)
2 tbsp nooch
1/4 cup red pepper flakes (if you like spicy)
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:
1.) Cook and drain pasta as directed. Leave it to the side.
2.) Slide the sausages into small rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
3.) In a skillet, combine the olive oil, peppers and seasoning (except the red pepper flakes) cook on medium heat about 10 min until the veggies are starting to lightly char
4.) In a separate skillet, place the sausages and second oil measurement. I lay the sausage slices flat and turn them with tongs. I like to get a nice crisp char on both sides.
5.) Throw the sausages in with the veggie mix. Add the sauce and red pepper flake.
6.) Toss everything together with the pasta.

I make that for my boyfriend at least once a month for his meal prep and he loves it. I think he gets about 4-5 servings from it. I suggest reheating in a skillet.
Add more seasoning as you like. We like a lot.

As for Buddah Bowls, I'm sure you can find them online.

I have tons and tons of recipes for a male vegan meal prep, so lmk if you need more ideas.

take him to park or somewhere he can run around and use his energy. hands on stuff is always a good idea but make sure he doesnt try to put anything in his mouth. kids are weird and will randomly decide they want to taste a pebble. feed him snacks, ask his mom what he can and cant eat before you give it to him. no nuts, hot dogs, or most raw veggies. cut everything up small. my daughter loved pastina and other little noodles like ditalini with a little bit of sauce or butter. no spaghetti. if its something you could possibly choke on then its something he could. if you take him for a walk or any place where you would do a decent amount of walking then yes youd want to bring a stroller. it would also be a place he would probably fall asleep in. diapers? depends. im assuming yes and you would change him every couple of hours for pee and as soon as he poops. you can bring him to the womans restroom with you. most places have a changing table thing in there. if youre anywhere that doesnt have a changing table/not near a bathroom you could change him in the back seat in a pinch. even if hes potty trained bring him to the womans restroom with you. dont let him go in the mens room along. if you gagged...just dont throw up. throwing up on babies is frowned upon.

make sure his mom packs enough diapers, wipes, bottles (if he still uses them - most babies dont past 1), an extra outfit, bibs, and some toys. if shes bringing his food thats great, if not you can go to the grocery store between now and then and get something like these


if you need/want more help ill be happy to help you.

I'm planning for a hiking/backpacking trip, so looking for the same low volume, low weight, high calorie solutions. Why do all dehydrated camp meals with rice seem to have wheat based soy sauce in them?

I'm thinking of bringing small packs of GF instant oatmeal (this stuff tastes pretty decent and comes in little pre-portioned bags) and powdered milk.

1 cup per day of instant rice and small btls of sesame oil, GF soy sauce and maybe some furikake

rice noodles, the kind that only need to be soaked in hot water

either powdered egg or some fresh eggs in a holder (eggs should stay fresh for at least 2 weeks without refrigeration, I'm just worried about them cracking.)

a few dehydrated camping meals for convenience and weight sake

peanut butter, for calories, fat and to make peanut sauce with the soy sauce and sesame oil

foil packs of tuna and any other fish or meat I can find that doesn't come in a can (I don't want to have to carry empty cans that smell of food for days, pouches can at least be rolled up and sealed in a ziploc)

I have a dehydrator, so I'll make my own dried veggies (some ground into a powder for a soup base), jerky, and fruit based treats (a really tasty and high energy one is bananas blended with honey and lemon juice, then stir in sesame seeds or a mix of seeds and spread out like fruit leather to dry), as well as some basic dried fruits (for trail purposes, I dry my fruits extra long, if they get to hard to chew, I can plump them in a bit of water. Makes them very easy to carry, as opposed to that big bag of commercial raisins that seem to weigh more with every step.) I'm going to experiment with some dried seed crackers this summer too, they aren't the best texture or taste but will be a good delivery system for peanut butter and tuna

I haven't looked too closely into TVP to find a GF brand, but it's super lightweight and high protein and most brands don't need much in the way of cooking, so I think it'll make a good spoil free protein source

You can buy powdered butter, I've never had it, not sure how good it is, and I'm not sure if I want to invest in what looks to be a 10 year supply, but it's an option

Your post is so damn salty I think I'm developing hypertension just from reading it.

I doubt this will have any effect on the likely liberal bubble you live in and use to develop opinions of other people, but a cursory examination of my family life and socioeconomic status would suggest I'm a normal upper middle class adult.

I have a great job, a six figure salary, which admittedly isn't as great as it sounds because I live in one of the most expensive areas of the country. I'm married 3+ years, no kids yet, travel internationally for work and vacations around six times a year, and I'm a member of Big brothers, Big sisters, where I do my best to mentor underprivileged youth.

I used that language in my original comment because it was funny, because i think a subset of readers would find it amusing.

It seems to have worked too. That little comment has already triggered multiple people into throwing out salty responses, which shows just how thin skinned, sad people they really are.

That, ultimately, is what that language is for. To trigger people just like you into responding the way you did. Because that language isn't FOR you, it's designed to expose your intellectual weakness for the rest of everyone to see. And that's exactly what it did.

My job here is done. I would suggest this will probably help you recover.

> People can't go without food. If all but the most expensive foods have trans then I guess it just sucks to be the poor people

Nah. I make little, but buy frozen chicken breast for protein and potatoes for carbs. Neither has trans-fat, both are cheaper than processed junk. I do enjoy processed junk from time to time, but that's beside the point.

> They can't afford to make the healthier option, so they get to enjoy their heart disease inducing foods.

Again, don't make that decision if you don't want that outcome.

12 frozen pizzas = $83.15

20lbs of chicken = $108

Go to your local grocer and check out potato prices. Buy a couple apples at 1.50lb.

I get it. It sucks. Its easy to throw some processed shit in the microwave and call it good. But its not good for you, so if health is important to you don't do it. Why demand the government do this for you though? Also, why do people give such little respect to people with less than them? Do you think that just because you have a higher social status than them you should advocate for the government being involved in their decisions? Is that really your idea of empowerment?

> The company, who only exists because the government allows it to exist

Oh I see, like a king right? The government says what goes?

Not in the US(Constitutionally anyway. People are working on that though). The government is granted rights. They don't have them de facto. However that is changing, and there are movements in the west where people want politicians to have more de facto control over their lives. This is what I don't understand.


> You can choose not to buy a home built with asbestos. You can choose to avood buildings built with asbestos. Government should just require labeling such buildings, right?

Nah. Try again. Government buildings, schools, markets. You have to go in certain buildings. You do not have to buy certain foods.

Down 22 in about 2 months. I can't name the exact day I started, but it was about mid-ish July.

NSV: even though my wife isn't on Keto (I wish she would), she has figured out how to buy food for me. Love her to death for this... last night, she brought me a ribeye steak and a bunch of broccoli. I did the steak on the grill, and she steamed the broccoli for me, turned out exactly right. She's learning... and she's seeing a difference in me.

She recently saw something in a store that sounded delicious for me -- a veggie pizza, made with a cauliflower crust. Hot damn! I said gee, that sounds terrific!! I dare not break this to her, but it's also got a ton of rice flour in it, and is 37g carbs for a serving. (!!!)

Found it on amazon - 37g carb, less 3g fiber = still, 34g carbs :(


I plan to save it for a cheat day (shh!), and enjoy it, and enjoy the thought she put into this, although it will have to be a rare splurge.

At Costco, I get a 4-pack of EVOL Ham & Egg Breakfast bowl for $10. That breaks down to $2.50 a meal.

Costco does not sell online, but here is a link to the bowl on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Breakfast-Uncured-Benedict-Vegetables-Hollandaise/dp/B07F1SWPY3

I'm not a keto person, but I do keep a very close eye on my carbs, with a max of 30 carbs breakfast, 45 lunch, 60 dinner. At 21 carbs in this bowl, plus some healthy greens, it has been working out great.

I also keep this on hand:

https://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature-Complete-Nutrition-Shakes%2c-8.2-fl.-oz.%2c-32-pack.product.100399081.html

32 pack is $27 at Costco. Thats about $0.84 a drink and is 22 carbs. Works great for those days where I have to get out the door fast and don't want to skip a meal.

'Against The Grain' makes some completely fucking badass gluten-free rolls if you're in the US and interested! Microwave them and add butter and.....mmm.

I don't know which other allergies you have -- that can complicate things! But I promise after kissing enough GF product frogs you'll find some GF product princes ;)

There are a lot of vegetarian protein bars and shakes and stuff if you want to go in that direction.

Other common high protein foods are tofu and seitan. Some combination of soy protein and wheat gluten makes up most fake meat products so they tend to have plenty of protein.

You can do beans and nuts and stuff and plenty of vegetarians get their protein that way but to me life is easier with the fake meat because you get more protein per calorie and you don't have to eat so much fiber.

Quiona is also good source of protein and pretty easy to cook.

For snacks yogurt or I like munching on Edamame/soy nuts.

Carbmaster Yogurts are great: http://i.imgur.com/MkYCceP.jpg

Just be sure you get the type with the following nutrition facts because there are a few sneaky variants (you can easily tell by the packaging) that have 2x-3x as many calories: 60 cal, 9p, 1.5f, 4c. I've seen them sold at Food 4 Less, Foods Co, Kroger, and Ralph's.

This roasted edamame is a good on-the-go snack, just pay attention to the serving size (2 per pouch!): https://www.amazon.com/Seapoint-Farms-Roasted-Edamame-Ounce/dp/B00F9XUMS8

If you like guacamole, Costco sells these 100 calorie-sized packs that are plenty to use with sandwiches or as a dip: http://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/Wholly-Guacamole-Classic-Guacamole-Mini-Cup,-2-oz,-20-ct.product.11961611.html

Speaking of dip, Quest also makes protein chips: http://www.questnutrition.com/quest-chips

Some people say they can taste the protein a little too much but I personally love the Cheddar, Sour Cream & Onion, and the Sea Salt flavors.

Cosmik ice cream always cheers me up! I keep an emergency stash for bad days. There's just something about the creamy taste without bothering with getting a bowl & having cold teeth (my teeth are sensitive to cold) that makes me feel really happy. Thanks for the contest!

​

I hope things get better soon! *hugs* Do you need to talk about it?

I think the bartender might be a little off. Dole Whip is a bit hard to find outside of Disneyland, but there are a few places near me (SF bay area) that sell it. Heck, you can even [buy the mix on Amazon!] (https://www.amazon.com/Pineapple-Dole-Serve-Cream-Large/dp/B01666JBFG)
That said, I love Tiki Bars so I will take your advice and head to the Golden Tiki.
By the way, I also love Dim Sum but bad Dim Sum is...bad. Where did you go and would you recommend it?

I love dry roasted edamame. It goes for $2 a bag by me, if you don't want to buy online, but the Amazon price is really good. It's crunchy and just a little salty, and a handful or two keeps me full for a while. They have a wasabi flavor, as well.

"hunting" is not necessarily bad.

​

hunt ALSO means

search determinedly for someone or something.

​

I'm hunting for the part to the thing.

I'm on the hunt for a meatball sandwich.

kids go on Easter Egg HUNTS every year.

I can hunt an animal to put a tracking device on.

I can hunt an animal to study it.

​

> These two terms can't coexist

​

if Steve Irwin had to track the one down that KEEPS EATING DOGS

... those words go together perfectly.

some are nuisance animals and are removed by the State (of Florida)

crocodiles aren't exactly rare or endangered or anything like that.

we eat them. in large numbers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_farm

A crocodile farm or alligator farm is an establishment for breeding and raising of crocodilians in order to produce crocodile and alligator meat, leather from crocodile skin, and other goods. Many species of both alligators and crocodiles are farmed internationally. In Louisiana alone, alligator farming is a $60 to $70 million industry

Sure you can. I guarantee you can get actual chicken pieces at comparable prices to whatever this is -

Or - even easier - you can make plenty of tasty, healthy food without meat for dirt cheap.

Dry Roasted Edamame.

20$ for 12 large packs on Amazon. Free shipping with Prime.

Super packed with protein and fiber. Only 500 calories per bag. I usually eat half a bag if I have some crazy munchies. They are super tasty and can be bought with different flavors. I prefer the lightly salted to keep the sodium levels lower.

They mostly come in variety packs. So I see two options:

Low effort option:

Buy a variety pack like that one and get rid of the rest. Depending on how many you need there could be a lot of leftovers so you could always reach out to local schools, summer camps, or similar orgs to see if they'd want the rejects as a donation. I know if someone contacted the summer camp I work at with tons of free freezy pops we'd happily accept, regardless of if the lime ones were missing!

DIY option:

Make your own with some Zipzicles bags or similar and a thing of lemon lime flavor syrup like you might use in cones. Or, depending on your preferences and how much work you wanna do, you could also make a healthier grown-up take on the Otter Pop with real lime.

You can buy the "dole whip" mix on amazon.

I received a WoW cookbook for my Arbitrary Day gift.

Dry roasted edamame is healthy, clean to eat, comes in a resealable container, and can be kept at room temperature. These are my favorite https://www.amazon.com/Seapoint-Farms-Roasted-Edamame-Ounce/dp/B0094IXKME/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466209757&sr=8-1&keywords=edamame.

Having had that exact brand, I'll warn you that it's really, really easy to eat an entire bag in one sitting.

What you could try instead (if you have such a store near you): my local Fleet Farm sells dry roasted, salted, edamame. (They also have peas!) They look like this. I personally buy them at Fleet Farm because they go on sale a lot $4/2 for 12oz bags, which is significantly cheaper than ordering off of Amazon.

edit: a few words

If you can find it this is a good snack food with lots of protein in it and it tastes good too.

I very much like the Honey Stinger Waffle. Several flavours to choose from :)

Lately these bad boys. They fit well in a jersey pocket and they're delicious!

I've been making Dole Whip floats at home! I use a Cuisinart ice cream maker, but if you had a soft serve maker it would be EXACTLY like Disney. I buy dole pineapple juice, and often mix in some Bacardi's coconut or mango rum.... YUMMMMMMMMY!

Dole Whip

You can buy Dole whip to make at home (or wherever) on amazon. Just need a soft serve machine or an ice cream maker - I bought a $45ish 1.5qt Cuisinart one just for this and for "maybe I'll try making ice cream one of these days". A lot of froyo places have it too (not necessarily labelled as "dole whip", but just something like "non-dairy pineapple flavor".

Any time I want, I can have dole whip in about 30 minutes.

Hmm I find dry roasted edamame is quite nice for when you're craving a crunchy, salty snack:

http://www.amazon.com/Seapoint-Farms-Roasted-Edamame-Lightly/dp/B000G2UUOS

You're welcome.

I once saw dole whip concentrate/mix selling online somewhere. Additionally, there's a cuisineart "ice cream machine" that apparently makes what is essentially soft serve. Still working on convincing my wife we neeeed these things.

edit:

Here's the mix!

Not disagreeing with you. Just mentioning that as a kid we also referred to the popsicles that come in the long plastic tubes as “push pops”. They seem like the kind of thing kids would eat at summer camp

Roasted Edamame!

http://www.amazon.com/Seapoint-Farms-Roasted-Edamame-Lightly/dp/B0094IXKME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420493621&sr=8-1&keywords=edamame

14g protein, 8g fiber per 1/4 cup. Amazing snack if you're missing the salty-crunchy.

My wife likes the caramel GU: https://smile.amazon.com/GU-Original-Nutrition-Energy-Caramel/dp/B00DP6ZWWC

I prefer Honey stinger: https://smile.amazon.com/Honey-Stinger-Organic-Waffle-Packaging/dp/B004F1LNDI

Waffles are definitely the way to go:

http://www.amazon.com/Honey-Stinger-Organic-Waffles-Packages/dp/B004F1LNDI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331849241&sr=8-1

Here, if you have an ice cream maker, make some soft serve pineapple Dole Whip and pretend you're at the Polynesian or Adventureland :)

If you like those these are very similar: Honey Stinger

It sure is

Dry roasted Edamame's not bad, though it's a tad expensive -
http://www.amazon.com/Seapoint-Farms-Roasted-Edamame-Lightly/dp/nutrition-facts/B000G2UUOS
I know what you mean about the crunch though.

Dry Roasted Soy Beans aren't too bad, I'm partial to the wasabi flavor myself

http://www.amazon.com/Seapoint-Farms-Roasted-Edamame-Lightly/dp/B000G2UUOS

You can buy the mix on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01666JBFG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-ngIAbJR8RN2J

You can buy the soft serve mix on Amazon direct from Dole. The mix can be made in any consumer ice cream maker. According to the product description it's "Exactly the same as found in Disneyland and Hawaii".

i am also very intrigued. i found it on amazon and in the questions and answers sections it has directions for home machines. https://www.amazon.com/Pineapple-Dole-Serve-Cream-Large/dp/B01666JBFG

smile.amazon.com/dp/B01666JBFG

Just buy the Otter Pops? https://www.amazon.com/Otter-Pops-Freezer-Assorted-Flavors/dp/B005LUREEO

https://www.amazon.com/Fla-Vor-Ice-Freezer-Giant-Fruity-Flavors/dp/B005LURDJK/

Edamame, assuming you don't also have a soy allergy. It's loaded with protein and fiber.

You can get them roasted or freeze dried!

You can buy it off Amazon

I buy the big boxes of the popcicles in plastic tubes that you keep in the freezer. They are dirt cheap and it hits me in the nostalgia. My grandmother always kept these in her freezer for the grandkids.
