Needing protein drink recipies

[Guest guest]

I have bought a can of " pure egg white protein " from GNC, and would

love some ideas for frut shlushies or breakfast drinks that I could

mix it in to. Anyone have any good ideas?

Joe isn't, but I am and have been since 1987 or so... as a pre-op.

We use low fat 1% Lactaid 100 milk because of my lactose

intolerance. The 100 means 100% lactase treated milk-- no untreated

lactose is remaining in the milk. And, I use Designer protein for my

chocolate, chocolate banana, and chocolate cherry shakes, and

Designer Strawberry for my berry shakes as well as the Isopure for my

cherry shakes. I try to make 'em like Joe does but haven't quite got

the hang of it yet. They still taste real good to me, even though

the texture of them isn't quite like Joe's.

Joy and Joe and everyone:

We used to make similar shakes all the time around here. The kids love them.

The only difference is that we usually added a container of yogurt to the

mix. We had these smoothies, preop, all the time. Before the operation

though we didn't add the protein powder, just yogurt, milk, fruit and ice.

Now, I can barely get down about 1/8 cup of the smoothie. I have no idea

why. I've tried it without the yogurt. I've tried to water it down more.

I've tried...everything I can think of. Right now I am using Atkins vanilla

protein powder.

I can get down about 1/2 can of ensure with extra protein or boost with extra

protein, which would be about 4 oz.

I am 4-1/2 weeks postop.

How soon could you drink these? I would really like to be able to get them

down, as they were something I enjoyed preoperatively.

Thanks,

Dawna
