New Protein Shake Recipe

[Bring It On 55]

Hi September Friends,

My RNY was on 9/11. While visiting my daughter this weekend, she prepared me a new Protein shake that is going down so smooth and also provides a lot of Protein. Since my surgery, I have become quite lactose intolerant, so this helped me as well.

1 c. silk unsweetened almond milk (vanilla flavor)

1 sm. ice cream scoop of almond butter (I found mine at Kroger the the natural food section)

Sprinkle of Cinimmon

1/2 frozen banana

Ice

Mix together in a blender to crush ice, then add protein.

I use 1 scoop (25 g) chocolate. Then mix together again.

So Yummy, and filling. Hope this helps my friends. If anyone has any other recipes, please feel free to post!!!

What is almond butter? Is it like Peanut Butter?

[Bring It On 55]

Yes, it's a lot like Peanut Butter, except made with almonds. I have to admit the whole idea of "almond milk" and "almond

butter" turned my stomach, but it doesn't taste like it sounds. I find it extra satisfying, plus you can add as much Protein powder (of course, up to 30g) as you want. This morning I put extra ice in it and had a 20 oz shake with 30g of Protein. Winner, winner. I found it at Kroger in the natural foods section. Lots of brands to choose from too.

Thanks! I really need to try something new. I'm forcing myself to drink the Protein Drinks I have to get the Protein in, but honestly I am over them.
