Belaire, we have a smoothie king near our house. I want to try one but I'm overwhelmed by the choices. Id love to hear what you've tried and if you liked it. I also hope your question gets answered so we will know

1. smoothies tend to be high in sugar so be ware of that

2. The body can only absorb about 25g of Protein at a time, rest isn't absorbed

I didn't know that about the absorption of 25g Protein at a time, glad you mentioned it. I've been doing 2 scoops of my Unjury Protein Powder to get 42g at lunch time. Guess i'm wasting a scoop...Will only use one now...

I like the gladiator but I only use them when I am out of town and concerned about Protein. Twice in 5 months.

if you're going to put fruit, yeah, fruit can be high in sugar.. but so what.. just be smart & pick a lower sugar fruit...

lemon, lime, blueberry, raspberry.. pretty much any kinda berry is low in sugar.. even on an anti-candida diet, you can have berries & lemon or lime. also, apple is another good fruit that's got Fiber & is low in sugar.

there ya go.

I go to Smoothie King quite often- I ask them to give me a kid's size gladiator- I do get fruit and stick with raspberry and blueberry or one of those and mango- I do ask them to use half the fruit to reduce carbs but still a great high Protein low carb option and it keeps me full for hours and takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to drink the whole thing and I am just over 6 months post op-

Isn't fruit good sugars though? I figure a small 20 fl oz for Breakfast cause I'm having trouble drinking Protein Shakes.< /p>

for sure, early out I think this is not a bad idea. I couldn't drink Protein Shakes either. I hate the idea of only taking in 200-300 calories a day-- and tanking my metabolism. So I didn't. I eat 1500-2000 daily now in maintenance.!
