Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to share this recipe. I was having problems getting all protein in(I am not a meat or fish eater**) and was having hair loss and fatigue(hair loss started 6 weeks out). 1 8oz bottle Boost High Protein(chocolate) 15g protein 1 scoop Any Whey Protein Powder(unflavored) 17g protein 2 Tablespoons All Natural Peanut Butter(any brand) 8g protein 1 Snicker's brand Marathon Protein Performance bar(Chocolate Nut Burst) 26g protein Any type of protein powder would work as long as it's unflavored. I was feeling lethargic, so my Dr said to buy the drink Boost. I bought it in an 8 pk and chose the High Protein variety. I bought chocolate, but vanilla would probably work just as well. I got the box of Snicker's brand Marathon Protein performance bars at Walmart. They come in a box of 6 for around $9. They are very yummy. I have been having trouble finding protein bars that are good, I like these the best so far! Anyway, I pour in Boost, 2 TBSP PB and 1 scoop protein powder. Pull apart bar and toss it in and blend. I like to add a lot of ice then blend again. It takes me 2 sittings to drink this. It makes a lot when you add ice and is very rich. I put unused portion in freezer, pull it out when ready to use, let it thaw a little and add more ice. Other than having lots of protein, it does have 1020 calories and 29g fat and 9g fiber. I have been drinking this every other day for about 2 weeks and on those days, the only other things I have other than water are fruits and raw veggies. This may be way too much for some people and leaving out the Peanut Butter cuts the fat by 16g and the calories by 210. It is working for me. I am 3 months out and have lost nearly 55 lbs. **This is good for people like me who dont like meat, eggs, tofu, milk or fish or who are otherwise having trouble getting all protein in. Another idea would be to split it into 2 or 3 servings and and only have 1 serving per day. This would cut the fat/calories but also the protein. I would love to have other protein smoothie recipes....let me know if you have any.
