Protein Drink recipe...

My DH has been drinking this one for the last few weeks, and enjoys it. Just thought I'd pass it on... take a cup add 2 ounces of water (or milk if you can drink it) add 2 scoops of chocolate 100% pure whey protein (available at vitamin stores and some grocery stores - don't let them talk you into the vitamin-fortified crap) add 1 scoop of chocolate dry soy shake mix (also available at vitamin stores and some grocery stores - you need linoleic & Alpha-linolenic fatty acid every day, and soy products containing fat have both, and they're really hard to find from anything else on the planet except for soy) - 110 calories, 23 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat and 0 grams of sugar. add 1-2 tablespoons of No Sugar Added Nesquik chocolate powder. 180 calories, 0 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat and 0 grams of sugar. Mix this stuff up with a spoon until it's the consistency of pudding. Add more water until it's the consistency you want. Mixing the ingredients in this way eliminates little pockets of dry unmixed ingredients. This recipe has 374 calories, 65 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat and 3 grams of sugar. I split it out over two or three glasses over the day. This formula gives me the recommended 60 grams of supplemental protein a day for gastric bypass patients, it's very yummy, and eliminates all of my desires for food for about two hours. It's even better if you mix it with an electric "boat motor" hand blender. Add a banana if you have one.

thanks for the receipe! I'll have to save it into my receipes for after surgery.
