Holiday Protein Smoothie Recipes



Recommended Posts

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Today is Thanksgiving but I was hoping to get some ideas for recipes for the whole season. I have struggled so much to find a Protein source that I can actually tolerate taste-wise. I love pumpkin and pumpkin spice so I tried to create my own pumpkin spice Protein shake that complies with my full liquid diet restriction. It turned out pretty good. Here it is:

6 oz of NF vanilla yogurt (8g of protein)

3 crushed ice cubes

1/2 c FF milk (4.5g of protein)

1 serving of vanilla Unjury Protein powder (21g of protein)

1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, OR to taste

TOTAL PROTEIN = 33.5g

Blend all ingredients in bullet or blender.

I actually found a vanilla chai yogurt that I used. You can add more or less milk depending on the consistency that you want. You can also add more or less pumpkin pie spice depending on your desired taste. I need a lot of spice to mask the protein supplement flavor. Next step I want to try a chocolate Protein Powder maybe with some peppermint flavoring.

Enjoy!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
