Shake Recipes

[sookemama 11]

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 am guessing these recipes are for post op and not pre op...lol

[sookemama 11]

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.

Love it! I have to start my pre op diet on the 8th. I think these recipes can help me stay on track. Thanks for sharing! Got any more?

[oreo4972 20]

Omgosh! Those all sound sooo good! Gonna have to try them.

[sookemama 11]

OH... totally forgot The Turtle shake!

2 scoops chocolate Protein powder

8-10oz milk

2tbsp Butterscotch pudding mix (powder)

Pecans (add to taste)

Sometimes I add PB to this one too...

[MellioM 116]

I will try these with PB2 instead if Peanut Butter. sounds yummy.

[kyrasgrandma 228]

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?
