Hello so here i am 5 weeks out and am really having a hard time with my protien and cal intake. So i went to my old personal trainer knowing that he had the answer for me.

This is what he has me doing and it is not that bad and great in protien and higher in cal.

in a blender

1/4 scoop protien power

1/4 banana

1 tea spoon Peanut Butter

and greek yogurt.

you can add a little bit of Water and ice this adds up to about 300 cal and is about 30 grams of protien.

I am doing this 2 to 3 times a day.

Absolutely noteworthy should I need it...but wonder if he has a replacement suggestion for Peanut Butter? <<<allergic to peanuts!

i am not sure i can ask him. But the even with out that you are still getting in more cal and protien because of the greek yogurt.

Are other nuts okay? You can go with almond or cashew butter... and they're delicious! If other nuts won't work, try popping in a small cube or two of soft tofu--you won't taste it, and it will provide a bit more Protein and a nice texture.

That does sound good. Try slicing your 1/4 of banana in pieces and freezing them in small baggies. You will always have fresh banana on hand AND you will not need ice because the banana is cold enough to chill your drink.

That is a great idea about freezing the banana! Thanks for the tip!
