What Do You Like In Your Smoothie?



Recommended Posts

So I'm totally not a whey Protein kind of person. Makes me nauseous big time. So I decided to make a healthy fruit smoothie for myself.

I use frozen fruits, freeze Greek yogurt in silicone ice cube trays, v8 fusion light, ground flax seed (must be ground ), & green tea extract. Sometimes I use choc almond milk or vanilla instead of v8 fusion.

So I'm curious besides whey protein what do yoi put into your smoothies? !

I dont like Protein shakes but I do like Optifast, and often use it as a base. I get weird comments when i buy it along the lines of, oh, you dont need this stuff but the thing us, becuse its a Meal Replacement, its very nutritious! And it doesnt taste like eating candles which is how Protein Shakes taste to me.

I like vanilla opti with frozen berries or with Peanut Butter and banana (often use the PB2 powder to save calories and about half a frozen banana)

strawberry is good with frozen berries too

And i love the coffee flavour with a few walnuts

I too always add ground flaxseed and a few spoonfukks of psyllium.

smoothies are great for bandsters because using something like Optifast you get a fruit serve, a huge whack of fibre and a large total of ypur days Vitamins and minerals in a meal that goes dcown without drama and is less than 300 calories.

As a bancdster smoothies

I love my "Super Shakes". Full of super foods! - Spinach, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, fage plain yogurt, ground flax, coconut Water, and bipro unflavored whey Protein. I love them. I can't taste the spinach or the protein. I also take a probiotic and Vitamins at the same time.

      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.
