ideas for full liquid stage/pureed stage

hi i'm just shy of three weeks out of surgery, have lost 40 lbs and they have advanced me to the full liquid stage of the diet. does anyone have a "Orange Julius" type recipe to share? i have to have sugar free everything and my intake for the day has to be under 600 cal. i really love orange julius' and could go for one right now! thanks for any and all suggestions! tara

Now I have not made this but I see no one has responded yet to you. So I would say if you can handle milk maybe that and some of the sunrise orange cyrstal light mixed together with a dab of sf coolwhip and ice to make it thicker? Just a thought. Hope it turns out ok.

Tara, I asked a question like this not long ago and got this answer (haven't tried it myself yet though)... Orange Julius: 8oz nonfat SF plain yogurt 6oz frozen OJ concentrate (maybe a little less if you are nervous of dumping) 2-1/2c skim milk 1tsp SF vanilla 2scoops vanilla protein powder Add a couple extra ice cubes for chunkier icy-ness and blend. Hope it's good! Alison

I use a protein called Nectar and they have a Fuzzy Navel protein that is awesome and would make a great slushy. you can find it on the internet by searching "Nectar" it is sugar free and only 90 calories.

I just got this one off another post - sounded yummy. Orange Julius Ain't Got Nothing On Us Smoothie 2 Scoops ProScore 100 vanilla 6 oz water 1 T sugar free vanilla pudding mix 1/4 c real orange juice (preferably hand squeezed with pulp, or from store with pulp) 1 t good vanilla flavoring 3-4 ice cubes Blend all ingredients except ice cubes. Cold water will cause pudding mix to thicken. Add ice cubes and blend till ice slivers. Pour into tall glass and use straw to sip, dainty, a little at a time, really taste it. Don't guzzle (grin)

i thought we couldn't use a straw- was i mistaken? i thought, no carbonation and no straws cuz it adds air into your pouch- am i wrong- please let me know AND THANKS FOR THE RECIPE!!!

You're right - I noticed that part of her recipe after I sent it. I would just skip the straw suggestion in the recipe. I'd hate to suck up extra air - that could hurt!
