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?

Everyone does protein drinks their own way but I have more of a method than

a recipe. First we use a strong blender which crushes ice very well. I

begin by putting in 1-1/2 scoops of protein, Isopure Vanilla is the one I've

chosen. I then put in 1-1/2 cups of Lactade Milk. That is 12 grams of

protein for the milk and 30 for the Isopure. I then put in a handful -

about 1 loosely packed cup of ice cubes, a handful of frozen fruit, either

cherries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or whatever. I put in

between a teaspoon and a tablespoon of artificial sweetener, usually

Splenda. There are no carbohydrates in the Isopure but about 20 grams in

the milk and some more in the fruit. I then grind at low speed for about 10

or 15 seconds to grind up the ice. I then finish it off with about 5 to 10

seconds at puree. I then pour and enjoy. It comes out a bit crunchy which

I like. If you want it smoother just leave it on puree or liquefy a bit

longer.

As I say, it is more of a method than a recipe as I don't measure anything

but the scoops and the milk. The rest is all by what mood I'm in at the

time. So I'd encourage you to experiment for yourself. If it is too

crunchy grind longer. If it is too sweet use less sweetener. If not enough

flavor put more fruit in.

Thanks Joe!, this looks easy enough! And do you know that

strawberries are a very low carb fruit?

BTW, are you lactose intolerant?

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

Dawna:

When I had my surgery I spent two months in the hospital. Joy and I lived

in Portland in a condo for a couple of months before we returned to San

. We didn't have a blender. When we came back to San Joy

was 8 weeks out and I was 16 weeks out. We did begin doing protein drinks

then but I feel we could have significantly sooner. But Joy was able to do

it at least 8 weeks out. Sorry, that's the best answer I have. And thanks

for the tip. I'll try putting a cup of yogurt in the next one I make. We

have some in the frig.
