- If you’re feeding others, 2 bariatric serves are equal to one regular, non-sleeved serve. Use the slider above to adjust the serving sizes you need.
- Make this suitable for the post op puree phase by blending and omitting the lettuce. You may need to add a little more liquid to do this.
- Increase the protein further by stirring through a clear, tasteless protein powder before serving
- Mix up the flavours by adding red kidney beans or a tin of sweet corn kernals to the mince and top with avocado or tomato salsa – this recipe is very flexible!
