PROTEIN SHAKE RECIPE HELP???!!!
Hi Jeannie,
Congrats on your surgery. I hope you are doing well.
I had a hard time with anything that tasted sweet at first, but I have gotten over that.
I use the zero carb Isopure protein powder that I get at GNC. It is made by Nature's Best.
I always get the Vanilla flavor so that I can add things to it and make a variety of flavors.
The basic recipe I use is:
1 cup of crushed ice
3/4 cup of water
1 scoop of the Isopure (25 grams of protein)
Blend in blender or with a hand blender.
Then you can experiment with whatever flavors your imagination will take you to.
I use a lot of the DaVinci sugar free syrups. They have a lot of different flavors, so you can go wild with that.
Nestle's Quik sugar free
Sometimes I substitute the water for prepared Crystal Lights.
I always add a 1/2 banana to mine, but you may not be able to tolerate that. I also sweeten to taste with Splenda if nessecary.
Also, a tablespoon of peanut butter with some cocoa powder is good.
Hope this has helped...good luck.

I am on a strict liquid diet-I am 2 weeks p/op. I make sugar free vanilla pudding- using 1 box pudding-2 c skim milk- 1 scoop of vanilla slim fast and 1 scoop of whey protein powder. I am allowed a 2 oz serving- 6 times a day. This makes about 9-10 servings. Refrigerate- it gets thick and is easy to digest. It tastes very good and has alot of protein. I tried it with chocolate pudding- but can't tolerate it yet. I also make a yogurt that is pretty good. Use 2 cups of prepared strawberry sugar free jello, a scoop of whey protein and start mixing in non fat plain yogurt in-until it tastes good....
I feel great- hope you do too! I have lost 19 lbs in 2 weeks! Carolyn
