Thank goodness for lidl protein rolls

[Catsmother]

Sadly they are not for me! I finally found myself in Lidl and bought a couple. Had one for lunch yesterday and enjoyed it - although I have to say I found it quite big (or should that be chewy?). Bg before eating was 5.6, + 1 hour 6.8 ("oh goody" I thought), + 2hours 7.1 so I did a +3 hours which was 7.3! I was still higher than usual before dinner. So, a slow and prolonged rise which I'd rather avoid.

Ah well. Back to the LivLife bread!

I tested myself after one of these rolls. Didn't do a one hour check, but I started at 5.7, 2 hours later 6.9, 3 hours later 6.5.🙂 It's funny how we all get affected indifferent ways.

Tried to find these in Lidl, but couldn't see anything called Protein Rolls in bakery section. Could someone post a pic?

I like them, have a little store of them in the freezer, but I really want them to make a smaller version, they are ridiculously substantial. They go much fluffier when warmed up and make a delightful base for Welsh rarebit.

Im currently looking for a recipe using ground almond, ground flaxseed and buckwheat flour, very specific I know but I went to a bakery the other weekend and their low carb rolls were delish, but they couldn't disclose the recipe, I just know the ingredients. I do love an almond 🙂

I've been to Lidl 3 times to try to get these... Never any there (although I have now identified the place on the shelf where they should be! Sad face!

Greg - we find the earlier in the day you go the better chance you have of finding them. I confess that we emptied the shelf last week and bought 20 of the little lumps of loveliness 😳

Apparently they are very popular with our local Polish community as they are very like traditional Polish bread, so they sell out as soon almost as they make a batch! I'll just have to be lucky 🙂

 

[Lynn Davies]

Ask them to put some aside for you when you are next visiting. We find our Lidl to be very accommodating for people who don't live local.

Our Lidl also sells out quickly because if our local Polish population.

They do a low GI loaf too, but I find the rolls better from the bg point of view.

Had my first one today, very good, I filled mine with prawns, crabsticks, and a touch of cayenne mayo, will be having more.

Since reading about these on here and discovering that they do not have a drastic affect on my BG readings they have become a bit of a staple for me if im in need of a piece of bread. This afternoon i ran out so had a single slice of tesco store baked wholemeal bread with a bit of cheddar. Bg reading 1 hour later has risen from 6.6 to a whopping 9.7 . No more wholemeal bread for me and well done Lidl.

Tried one recently - yum yum!

Ime not going to tell you where my local store is then!!!!! He he. I've been lucky so far, stocked up today.
What if Lidl stop making them.... There will be a demonstration, can see the plaquards now. "Bring back our roll".

 

[Stitch147]

Im lucky where I live to, I can go in the afternoon and there will still be some in the basket on the shelf.

Bought one today. My hubby and me got held up in town and didn't have time to go home before my docs appt., so we sat in Lidl car park and had a lunch of half a protein roll and a handful of unsalted pistachios.

I can only eat these rolls toasted to be honest. I find them too heavy and dense cold. I think I'd rather just have one slice of wholemeal (but even that has a higher carb content).
