How Do You Make a Smoothie?



Recommended Posts

Same here...I buy large bags of frozen fruit' date=' berries, etc, from costco.....

You can add just about anything your imagination tells you...chocolate, Peanut Butter, banana's,

But of course the main ingredient is the Protein, and I always add 15 g of soluble Fiber and 30ml of enzyme hydrolyzed liquid protein.....

I'm slowly weaning myself off dairy products so no milk.....water works Ok for me....[/quote']

I'm not a milk drinker..

Substituting Water for milk, with all other fruits and veggies, gives the sesame texture as a smoothie with milk?

You don't need to dissolve the Protein Powder in liquid if you put the milk, or liquid, in the blender before teh powder. I use about 1/2 full of ice, and then, pretty much like Terry's concoction! Best wishes on your smoothy search! Karen

Hi Tara, the more Ice you put in the thicker it will be...

And as far as liquids I just use 1/2 cup of Water, and I mix the Protein powder and the fruit together along with 0 calorie French vanilla Syrup (to enhance the flavor)

If you don't like regular milk, you can try almond milk. Unsweetened has lots of Calcium

I start with a carton or Premier vanilla Liquid Protein drink(has 30 grams of protein!). I add 2 handfulls of UNSWEETENED FROZEN strawberries (or any FROZEN fruit you like) to thr Protein and add 3 pkgs. splenda. Blend in my MAGIC Bullet or any blender should do fine. smoothie is very thick and creamy and sherberty. Premier is available at Sam's and costco. Hope you like it!

      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.
