Healthy & Calorie-dense?

[VeloVT]

Peanut butter! PB & J sandwiches, PB spread on apple slices, PB spread on bananas, PB in celery sticks, PB straight from the jar!!! I could live on peanut butter.

Also, how about mixing ground flaxseed into... cereal, yogurt, baked goods, scrambled eggs if you're brave... I also like oatmeal with walnuts, apples, milk and real maple syrup.

Whole wheat spiral pasta tossed with sauteed vegetables (broccolli, red peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach etc), fresh garlic (added after cooking, not sauteed with the veggies -- just make sure your SO eats some too!), and lots and lots of olive oil and grated parmesan.

Tempeh & veggie stir fry, possibly served with whole grain cous-cous & olive oil.

Omelets with veggies & cheese, with a side of toast & jam?

Snacking on low-fat string cheese sticks... lots of protein & calcium.

Hey Ladies, thanks for the great ideas! I've been in a rut, but there are lots of things I can put more olive oil on, avocados are something I overlooked & I *love* a lot of the other suggestions.
Triskeliongirl, fortunately my blood glucose is normal any time I check, though I participated in a JDRF study recently that tests for antibodies, so I should be able to tell if there is risk long term.
Thanks to everyone for the great ideas. It made me think of another of my favorite sides too, polenta with cream and truffle oil, super easy and super fattening. Awesome!

Thanks
Anne

It sounds odd, but try pb in oatmeal. I LOVE it. A little pb, some honey, maybe mashed banana. Mmmmmmm....

Mmmmmmmmmm is right! That's one of my favorites (no honey for me, though)

Gosh I would like that problem. I too ride 100-200 per week. PB has a lot of calories and fats. You can add it to oatmeal. What about homemade smoothies, you can add protien powder, pb, yogurt. Lots of good calories
