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

I use lots of ice in mine for the no calories intake.

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!

      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.
