Bariatric Kitchen: Breakast Casserole

We always encourage patients to “pair” their carbohydrate foods with a protein food. Not only is this delicious and filling, a serving of this breakfast casserole is a nice balance of protein and carbohydrates as well as vitamins A and C. These function as antioxidants and boost immunity in the body.

Bariatric Kitchen: Spiced Protein Pumpkin Custard

Did someone say pumpkin? This bariatric-friendly dessert has just the right touch of sweetness, and it includes a punch of protein! 

Getting enough vitamin A and protein can be challenging after surgery. Post-op patients can sometimes be deficient in vitamin A because of a decreased intake of fruits and vegetables. The source of protein in the custard is a whey protein, which is the most absorbable form of protein.
