Slushy

[Ljp 157]

Craving something cold n sweet!

I came up with this:

4 sugar free popsicles (i used 2 orange/2 cherry)

8-10 frozen strawberrys

1 New Whey strawberry Protein tube (42g protein)

Ice (i used abt 1 cup)

Blended it all. Very good!

Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing. I have a question for you, is the Protein tube something that can be consumed on the clear stage diet the foirst week after surgery? Im desperate for some protein for energy.

I dont know why not. You can put it any drink & theres other flavors also. I got mine at Walmart. You shld actually be able to do the slushy above minus the strawberrys.

The slushy sounds good, but I wanted to make sure you guys know that those Protein tubes do not give you the Protein you need. I made the same mistake because they say "whey" and I found out that any of those protein tubes at Walmart, etc. have collagen and other protein ingredients in them that our bodies can not absorb and uses. So, it is a huge waste of money and a big disappointment.

If you want protein tubes, you can order them from Bariatric Advantage online and they are called Yes whey. Those are the ONLY tubes on the market that I know of that are actually made with 100% whey and not using all of the other stuff in them that we can't absorb and benefit from. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Bariatricadvantage.com? I found one that had "choice" in it, wanted to make sure im going to right website

You're welcome. I just hate to see people spend the money and think they are getting in their Protein when they aren't. I totally did the same thing. So frustrating because it is so hard to get it all in!
