5 Prolon-Inspired Soup Recipes for a Modified Fast - Empowered Beyond Weight Loss (2024)

In this post, I will share five soup recipes you can use during your modified fast. They are inspired by the Prolon kit. I took the same ingredients and tried to make the calorie and macro ratios similar, as you will see (I am going to show you the ingredients and the nutritional information on the Prolon kit for each soup recipe). If you decide to go for the convenience of the Prolon kit, you can find all the info here.

5 Prolon Soup Recipes for a Modified Fast

You can find all the nutritional information for the soups and the other Prolon products here. You will notice that some of my recipes tend to contain a bit more fat and fewer carbs. If you want to change that, you can use less olive oil and more veggies.

Moreover, you will notice that although the amount of calories and the macronutrient ratio is similar, the vitamin and mineral content is much higher. That’s one benefit of homecooked meals! Enjoy!

Also, if you make all five soups for your modified fast, it would be a good idea to prepare them in advance so that when you are doing the diet, you don’t have to worry about it.

Lastly, all the recipes are for four 100 calories or so servings. That’s what the Prolon kit includes (a soup serving is typically around 110-130 calories). However, you could always adjust your serving size according to what you are eating that day. Moreover, if you are feeding family members, I am pretty sure they would eat a bigger serving than that. Just keep it in mind when you make your soups.

Recipe

Serves 4

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

NOTE: When I made this soup, I wanted to recreate a cream of mushroom so I blended it in my high powered blender. Since there is no cream in the recipe (would add too many calories), it did not look good. I think keeping the mushroom pieces whole might be a better option.
