Atkins Substitute
Hi Guys
I purchased 100% soy protein from GNC which has zero carbs and can be used for lots of things. It is a little pricey ($33) for a container but you don't need to use much.
I use it as a sauce thickener, to make crepes and pikelets and also to make protein drinks for breakfast. I use a scoop of powder 1/2 cup water, 1 tspn splenda, 1 tsp vanilla essence and a handful of frozen berries for the smoothies. Very delicious as it doesnt have the really strong flavour or the carbs of premixed protein powders.
When used as a flour substitute it also thickens up if you can leave it for a while.
Cheers
Jodie
