Do You Remember Bacos

Jordan2 — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 23:58:33 GMT

Does anyone remember this?My elderly mother's protein level is low and the doctor wants her to eat 2 eggs everyday. She is not really that thrilled with eggs. I remember buying Bacos (not really bacon bits, freeze dried whatever) I thought maybe this would perk up the eggs. I was food shopping today and looked for it in the spice aisle and didn't see it. I haven't bought this in a long time, do they even sell this anymore?

They make Bacon Bits that are real bacon. She could drink a protein drink with her meals. Kelloggs makes some protein drinks that are very tasty. My teens drink one before they play a match or game of sports.

You can buy Bacos on Amazon or look for this at your local grocery store:

Talk about a blast from the past. Used them in salads too. Haven't for years.

@colliegirls How about those protein drinks made for seniors like Ensure? I'm surprised a doctor would suggest eating that much saturated fat. I wonder if he knows about eggs?

Yes weren't they pure Soy protein? Probably a lot higher in protein and lower in fat than real bacon....

maybe be she would prefer her eggs as custard..or a jelly omelet?

yes, they still make bacos.......i THINK i have seen them in the salad aisle (dressings, croutons, etc...) maybe OR the spice aisle......

you could also just buy a pound of bacon (turkey, pork, or beef) and fry it up really crisp for her and then chop it and freeze or refrigerate it.

What about Greek yogurt? (Those imitation bacon items are REALLY salty)

No idea about Ensure or it's taste. Eggs are back in vogue again for their nutritional value. Of the 5 grams of fat in an egg, 3 grams are "good" fat.

Thank you everyone for your advice. She doesn't really eat bacon that's why she ate Bacos. I never thought to look for them with the salad dressings, I will try that. Eggs have gotten a bad rap and I think I read they are no longer bad for you. She is a diabetic and I gave her sugar free Boost. I stopped because it didn't agree with her.

just say'in, sometimes, it's just not about Sat fats anymore- it's just about nourishment and comfort...I understand you want to keep her for as long as possible, but if she has no kidney issues or congestive heart failure, I would give her the real deal....

I get the Walmart brand in a pouch on the crouton aisle for about $2.00. Most in the pack are soft but the Baco's are hard.

Dannon makes a protein smoothie. It has 12 g. of protein. Tastes great. It is in the dairy case next to the yogurt.

I was in the supermarket today and was able to buy Bacos! They were in the aisle with the croutons and dressings. They come in bits or chips but they both looked the same to me.

Ensure tastes horrible, something with the after taste just didn't do it for me. If you find a smoothie she likes, maybe freeze it and it would be like an ice cream. Eggs are a wonderful source of protein especially for the elderly, very easy to chew than meat. Guess you got to play around and find what she likes & what has alot of protein.

Bacos are meat free and soy based, so if anyone has issues with soy they might need to know this before eating Bacos.

Loved those on a baked potato. I drink Premier Protein drinks. It is in a juice box style with a twist cap and quite tasty . 130 calories,2g sugars,29-30g protein are great numbers. I have 60g of protein daily. What about egg salad,devilled eggs, egg drop soup, etc?

I never liked the smell of Bacos.

When I would go to the salad bar at the HS I taught in, they would be in the salad dressing.

I do like the natural bacon bits.
