Yvonne- You were way overdue for a loss, congrats. I hope it keeps coming off for you! Your shake sounds good, how many oz does it blend down to? Mine is about 24 oz... but I like that it's big, cuz it lasts longer... I like to linger... -beth when it rains it pours and opens doors and floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry -Train http://meltingmama.blogspot.com/ http://community.webshots.com/user/msooyl

it blends to about 32 - i have a thermos cup i carry it in when i make it in the morning and it can last me a good two hours. I will sometimes add more water (just plain water) to make it fill the 32 ounce cup..... i figured the cals and protien out and it's well worth it.... it comes up to: 190 for the peanut butter (8 grams protien) 120 for the protien (25 grams protien) 30 for the cocoa (1 gram protien) it's a lot but if is a full meal replacement....you could add half a banana (i use frozen) for more potasium that would add about 45 cals but also 20 carbs which i can't have that often...i would have to make sure i had no other carbs during the day....but it is well worth it for consistency (makes it taste like a wendy's frosty). the only other thing i've done is skip the peanut butter all togehter - use the frozen banana and place davinci sugar-free toasted marshmallow syrup in it - it's to die for........sex in a glass...wow. that reduces the calls by about 150....give it a try you could use the carb coundown fat free, white 2% or chocolate 2% - i keep both the fat free (i make my hubby a smoothie with banana's and strawberries or banana's and pineapple with protien powder also) and the chocolate for me.

i forgot the 50 cals for the 1/2 cup carb countdown...

Yvonne, Thanks... it does sound yummy... I have issues with bananas, cannot eat them in their natural state (sensory issues, .), must be frozen or dehydrated, so I could try using it in a shake... I have issues with peanut butter, too, though, .. I'm a mess! But, it sounds tempting in a shake-form. Oh, the possibilities! My current shake has: 6 oz Carb Countdown Yogurt (80 cals/2 fat/12 protein) 4 oz Carb Countdown Skim (35 cals/0 fat/6 protein) 1 scoop protein (130 cals/3 fat/20 protein) Strawberries (39 cals/10 carbs) Ice, sometimes water... 284 cals/5 fats/38 protein, it's a full meal replacement with that powder, it adds a lot of calories in the little scoop.
