Been to Lidl for the protein rolls tried 1 and they are fabulous. I must be a greedy sod as I ate the whole roll with a banana, however I had'nt eaten since 7.30 so come 3'o'clock was starving.
Can you freeze them or as I brought 2 will the remaining one still be fresh tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Glad you enjoyed it. I am addicted and live in constant fear of Lidl withdrawing them. :arghh:

Yes, they freeze well, but slice them in half first. I buy around 14 at a time if there are that many left in the basket. They do seem very popular at my Lidl as the basket is always much less full than the others.

OMG thats a journey advice will be buy 1 cost 27p take a bite and if you like buy a load and freeze them via the instructions on this thread.
Cannot wait for tomorrow as I think toasted they are going to be fabulous and fingers crossed you like them too.

Happy to help but it was a couple of people on this site that told me so cant take the praise but so happy you didnt have a wasted journey.
Enjoy
 
Can't go wrong with grits in there either apparently.

'Every morning she starts her day with a breakfast of several strips of bacon, scrambled eggs, and ground corn.'

I guess ground corn is their version of our porridge to start the day.
So, a balanced diet is the key to a long life.
 
I am a total convert of the protein rolls from Lidl. I noticed yesterday that they are now doing a low GI cob as well, tried it and it is delicious!
One question, the lidl rolls fill me up so I don't feel hungry for hours, do you have any other suggestions for other foods that will do the same thing?
My problem is I am always hungry which is why I am considerably overweight. I could really do with alternatives to stop me overeating.

Beware of the low GI cobs at Lidl. They are high in carbs. On another thread someone had written to Lidl asking for the nutrition values.

Lidl 5302428 Low GI Roll
Typical Values per 100g
Energy 295kcal / 1240kJ
Fat 8.5g
Of which saturates 1.08g
Carbohydrate 44.9g
Of which sugars 4.2g
Fibre 8.4g
Protein 14.0g
Salt 0.78g

Lidl high protein rolls fill you up because they are high protein and also high fat. Fat fills you up, so maybe add some more to your food choices and see if that helps.

Just read the 30 day bacon diet and its made me feel a whole lot better about my weekly 4 rashers of back bacon. As much as I love bacon I have a bp rate of around 120/85 so I have to be mindful of the sodium content but saying this will keep on with my cooked breakfast as losing weight will be more beneficial to my overall health and BP.
Once again thank you for your help.

I have had bacon and egg with fried mushrooms almost every day during the first 4 months as a T2 as part of LCHF approach - I lost 19kg in weight, came off medication, almost halved my Hba1c, my BP at diagnosis was 130/80 - its now typically around 115/70 - Bacon is your friend ! :)

'Baked for you throughout the day'

They're certainly made fresh somewhere, frozen, shipped to your local Lidl, then defrosted later in an oven instore.
All supermarkets have the same distribution for 'fresh' bread.

Fresh=frozen=not fresh. I guess that's an example of an 'alternative fact'.

I only eat half. Slice them before freezing. I had half for breakfast and the other half was still okay the next day - kept in fridge.
 
It amazed me recently to discover how long "fresh" veg is stored in supermarkets before it appears on the shelves. I forget the average time, but it was a very long time.

It's a fair bet that anything you can freeze at home, has been frozen previously in the supply chain well before you bought it.

For us here in Canada in the middle of the prairies, fish and vegetables are actually more nutritious frozen. Fish is often frozen on the ships or soon after docking and vegetables and fruit from all over the world come frozen. They don't lose the nutrients sitting in the truck, store or in the fridge.
We here have a few hot houses that supply cucumbers and tomatoes locally but it is not always available this time of year. We have great variety fresh, but it comes from the southern USA or South America. Its picked green and travels a great distance. So the flavour isn't always the best.

I freeze most things I buy if I don't use them the same day.
