Most of us have fond memories of frozen treats like fudgesicles. As a bariatric patient, there are recipes that can duplicate those frozen wonders of summers past. Here is a great recipe for healthier fudgesicles with just 3 ingredients: chocolate protein powder, skim milk and a package of sugar free, fat free pudding mix. It’s the type of starch in the pudding mix that provides a creamier texture. This can be used before surgery or starting in the full liquids phase after surgery. There are some flavor options suggested in case chocolate isn’t your thing.
