smothie question

Okay my surgeons program requires us not to snack. I am having a lot of trouble getting the protein shakes in right now. I tried one of the recipeis that one of the lovely ladies here posted. However my smoothie turned out so thick. Here is what i used 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1 cup milk a whole bag of frozen strawberries 1/6th cup splenda 3 scoops of unflavored protein (so that i can get in all 60 grams of protein) I ended up with like a blender full of smoothie, that is so thick I will never get it all down in three days let alone one. Plus I have to count the smoothie as a meal i do believe. Can someone help me figure out a better way to make the smoothie. I hate to throw what I have out..but I'm thinking I probaly will.

jeez! you do not need to get in 60 grams of protein in one meal. here's mine: 1/2 cup yogurt (any light kind) 5-6 frozen strawberries 3/4 cup FF milk 1 scoop of protein splenda/equal to taste for yourself It's not that thick and it still tastes great. I sometimes use the same as above, but instead of strawberries, I use vanilla or banana flavored yogurt, and use sugar-free caramel or vanilla torani syrup (like they have at starbucks) for the sweetness and flavor.

lol I was thinking i would make a big batch and then I would drink three portions of it. I ended up just throwing it out...I'll try again today. amanda

try doing half recipe and adding ice to thin it.....also I think someone told me that our bodies can only handle 30 grams at a time of protein.....I would ask your NUT. But you doing great.....Keep it up..
