Transition to Normal Food⟫ Ongoing

It’s my birthday tomorrow so I got myself some birthday food as we discovered that MyProtein have a small product range at Iceland. I have tried a few of the products so here are my reviews so far.

MyProtein Salt and Pepper Chicken Skewers

You get four in a packet and I’m not sure what I was expecting but these things look like humungous chicken thighs that have been skewered! It was really nice to sink my teeth into something so solid – I hadn’t really realised that even though I’m meant to be transitioning to normal food, a lot of what I eat is kinda ‘soft’ – like Babybel, cheese strings, etc. Stripes cooked my dinner in the air fryer and it took less than fifteen minutes to make. The skewers are not too heavily seasoned but definitely flavourful and you get a lot on one skewer. I’m so glad I decided to only start small because I managed a third of one for my dinner along with a mozarella stick! Because of how solid it was, it made it easy to get my 30 chews in without it feeling like it turned into mulch and it didn’t ‘stick’ in my throat or chest. I finished the skewer later in the day and it tasted just as nice reheated.

MyProtein Cheesy Mozarella Sticks

I was a little wary of these because obviously they’re coated and I haven’t had anything even resembling bread crumbs since well before surgery. They were nice – not too greasy but very cheesy, didn’t stick in my throat or make me feel sick and were lovely accompanying the skewer. I managed one for dinner and had the second one later on. I will say, when it was reheated in the microwave, it turned into less of a mozarella stick and more of a pancake as it lost all of it’s shape but that didn’t affect the taste in the slightest!

MyProtein Protein Pancakes – cocoa and original flavours

I wanted to try something a little different for breakfast because I have just been eating cheese strings and Babybels and I wasn’t sure if they were having a detrimental effect on my stomach, so Stripes originally picked these up at Tesco. I added a tub of Mueller Light Greek Style yoghurt in coconut and vanilla flavour, with a couple of teaspoons of mango puree on top. The pancake didn’t taste of much but it did provide some nice texture – spongey, not too hard, but quite filling. With the yoghurt and puree, it definitely was a full meal – I can almost manage it all in one go but it does take some time, which is probably good because yoghurts can be a bit of a slider food on their own. I’ve since tried the cocoa flavour, and again it doesn’t have a particularly strong taste but provides a nice base for the yoghurt. I am thinking about getting some pancake mix to see how that turns out, but we shall see. You get four in a packet for around £2.35 and they last in the fridge for a week, so two packets will more than cover seven days worth of breakfast, which I think is quite a decent price.

I placed an order for some Galentine’s presents for the girls and included the BodyFuel Clear Beef Protein Isolate in Blue Raspberry and I’ll see how that tastes after I’ve finished the MyProtein Vimto (which is absolutely lovely and very thirst quenching as well as providing a decent chunk of protein).
