Having Your Cake and Eating It, Too!
How is that weight loss program working out for you? Many people are faced with the choice between losing weight and enjoying treats. You can have a different experience, though. The BariatricPal Store has so many high-protein, low-carb baked goods that you can have your cake and eat it, too! Here are some cakes and other baked goods that are bariatric-friendly.
Cakes
A piece of cake for dessert or a late-night snack can be a hard thing to give up, even for the sake of weight loss or healthy eating. Now, there is no need to do so. The BariatricPal Store has a full range of ready-to-eat Protein Cakes and Cake Mixes, including in sugar-free, keto, and gluten-free varieties. Chocolate, Birthday, Carrot, Gingerbread, Pound, and Pumpkin Spice are just a few of the flavors to try.
Brownies and Cookies
Protein Brownies and Cookies are ideal for late-night kitchen raids, mid-afternoon snacks, and any other occasion when you have a sweet tooth but do not want to impact weight loss. ChipMonk Keto Cookie Bites, Lollie’s Low-Carb Keto Cookie Clusters, BariatricPal Protein Cookies and Biscotti, and Quest Protein Cookies are just some of the varieties. Sample flavors include Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Sandwich Cookies.
Waking Up on the Right Side of the Bed: Muffins, Donuts, Toaster Pastries, and Pancakes
Starting the morning off with baked goods usually does not bode well for the day ahead in terms of weight loss. A muffin, pair of toaster pastries, or stack of pancakes can have over 60 grams of carbs and a mound of sugar, for example. Luckily, it is a different story when those baked goods are high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
Flapjacked Mighty Muffins are rich in protein and fiber, and are ready in minutes in their convenient single-serving cups, while Keto Muffin Mixes allow you to enjoy freshly baked muffins with a minimum of carbohydrates. Flavors include Banana Caramel, Double Chocolate, Blueberry, Peanut Butter, and Cinnamon Roll.
If toaster pastries are more your style, Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Strawberry Low-Carb Toaster Tasty Pastries are both frosted, nearly sugar-free choices that are just like the ones you may remember from your childhood. Donuts are also back on the menu in high-protein, low-carb versions with flavors including Cinnamon Sugar and Chocolate.
Peanut and Nut Butters
There are a lot of great things about peanut and nut butters. Certainly their taste comes to mind. Then there is their natural nutrient content, with healthy fats, plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants. Now, add to that possibilities with extra protein, less fat, or calorie-free. Fun and exciting flavors include Milk, Dark, and White Chocolate, Snickerdoodle, Cinnamon Raisin Cookie, and Butterscotch, for starters. Some brands, such as Hank’s Protein Plus Vegan Spreads, come in smaller packages that are perfect for travel.
Spread some Peanut or Nut Butters on your baked goods, and your meal or snack will only taste like it is detrimental to your diet. What a way to have your cake and eat it, too.
