Shake Recipes



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

I thought I would share a few of my fav shake recipes with you. Nutritional information will be based on what you use, milk, Protein powder etc...

I use Almond milk for all my shakes, as its less fat and ads a nice little flavour. These are all fairly low cal, but makes things interesting and adds a twist to the regular vanilla or chocolate!

I have more, if people want them... but I tend to just be crazy creative and add random things.

I don't tend to add ice cubes, as I don't like the crunch of small chips my blender leaves, but feel free to add as many as you wish for that extra smoothy feel! Enjoy!

pumpkin Spice

2 scoops vanilla Protein Powder

8-10oz milk

1/3 cup of pumpkin

Drop of vanilla

Dash of Cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves

( I freeze my pumpkin in an ice cube tray, and use about 4 in my shake, then you dont need to add ice and its less messy!)

Carrot Cake

2 scoops Vanilla Protein

8-10oz milk

1/2 carrots

1tbsp fat-free cream cheese

dash of cinnamon and nutmeg

ButterFinger (for those choc. lovers! Its amazing!!!)

2 scoops chocolate Protein Powder

8-10oz milk

2 tbsp of Butterscotch pudding mix (powder only)

2 tbsp natural smooth Peanut Butter

Chai Latte

2 scoops Vanilla Protein

8-10oz milk

1 banana

1tbsp Ice Tea powder mix (add more for sweetness to taste)

Cinnamon (to taste)

Dash of ginger, cloves, black pepper

I've been using them for pre-op. I don't get banded until the 9th of Oct.

My Dr. doesn't seem to have any problems with me "spicing" my shakes up.

They look amazing and I will definitely use them for post op but right now there are a lot of things in the ingredients (carrots, bananas, pumpkin, pudding powder) that I cant have on my pre op diet.

I can have my Slimtime shakes and in addition an extra 225 calories of steamed asparagus, cabbage, brocolli or cauliflower. No starchy veggies and no fruit .

I can add different sugar free flavorings to the shakes like the Davinci syrups.< /p>

I use the vanilla eas low carb shakes... empty a packet of instant coffee in it and add a few shots of sugar free carmel Syrup. Throw in a few ice cubes and i have a carmel frappe just like Starbucks. I also add pumpkin spice syrup instead of the carmel... it is good also.

These all sound so good thank you! I'm new to the whole Protein Shake thing. I got sample packets today- what constitutes a scoop? Would that be the entire sample packet? Any recommendations?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
