My mother in law gave me a recipe for a smoothie, it sounded absolutely gross, so I ignored it. She insisted I try it, and since I have trouble getting in all my veggie and fruit servings, I did. It was delicious. Just try it! Let me know what you think!

1/2 cup plain greek yogart

2 tbsp splenda

2 tbsp fat free evaporated milk

1small banana (frozen when possible)

1 small peach (peeled and sliced)

2 strawberries

2 1/2 cups fresh bagged spinach

1/2 cup ice

Blend until smoothie....

14 grams protein!

All your veggie/fruit serving for the day!

This sounds amazing! Did you make it public on My Fitness Pal? If so what did you call it so I can log it too! Sounds like something I would want every morning for breakfast! THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D

When you enter the recipe there is a spot at the bottom that ask if you want to share it publicly or it can be just for you. It is a check box. No worries I will log it in and if you give me a name(it is your recipe) then you can search it and use it too B)

Oh no! Im not the original poster ;) I just wanted to see what the nutritional facts were... I did get it posted. I saved it under my meals, not receipes.... but anyway its up there... I hope the original poster does not mind! I named it Spinach Receipe.

Oh and the nutritional facts ended up being a bit different, but not a big difference.

THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I will now be saving lots of cash and calories as I no longer have to frequent Planet Smoothie! THIS IS A VERY VERY DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE! I have made over and over and will continue as it has everything! The carbs are tad high BUT it is from the fruit so I am ok with that! Thank you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
