Re: Protein packed breakfast smoothie?

[Guest guest]

Terry,

No, he has high heavy metals and so he doesn't eat any fish. Marilyn also suggested blending the hard boiled egg...I had no idea hard boiled eggs were so versatile. I ended up doing the raw egg smoothie today for breakfast but I am worrying about it a bit...silly, really. I let him eat batters and they all have raw eggs!

I know I am asking alot by wanting protein and eliminating all the protein <grin> but I am trying to achieve a balanced gut and blood sugar with protein he needs but cut my costs a little. We do all natural and organic meat and my grocery bill is slowing killing us. Also...he eats A LOT. The other kids don't react to nuts so they get pancakes, muffins, whatever, after he leaves for school.

This ongoing discussion today is convincing me to get over my yogurt issues and give it a try. It would end this problem. Not that I have time to cook anything else, but since when does that matter??

What do you think about a raw fresh organic high quality freshly washed egg (or two) in a smoothie?I've done it for myself.If you're worried about the raw egg issue, you can get pasteurized eggs, or, something else I have done -- is to hard boil the egg, and then blend it in.

Did you find any winners in your "one-pot meal" quest?The apples, cinnamon, and chicken in a crock pot idea was good. Everything else I pretty much can't have yet =( I'm gonna try the zuke noodles and some chicken though, and see if that's good.

Hi Chrissy,

I really sympathize with your problem here. Of course you have to

work with what your son is willing to eat as well as what he should

eat. Is there any possibility he can take a few minute between

periods at school for a morning snack? I say this because of my own

problems. I absolutely cannot eat anything but fruit until

11AM. Not unless I want to provoke gut troubles, wide-spread pain

and a bad headache. It isn't at all good for my hypoglycemia and

it's worse if I have to go somewhere, as you can imagine, as it would be

the same as your son's situation. Anyhow, if you can't find

something he will eat (even if it means disguising it in the smoothie)

would there be any way he could have a snack later to last until

lunch?

Chrissy,

I'm scared to death to make the yoghurt so far, too. I've been

having troubles with dairy for too long. In the case of your son I

think it's wise to be cautious. Could you wait for a vacation period

to try the yoghurt if you feel you must? If you run out of anything

else to do to buck up the staying power of those breakfast smoothies,

could he tolerate some coconut oil in them? That would also keep him

from getting hungry so quickly. I often do better with more coconut

or olive oil rather than adding more protein, which is real touchy for me.

Hi Chrissy,

I have a 6-year-old son who will not eat eggs.

I sneak a raw pasture egg from our local farmers' market into his smoothie

every morning.

Here's the recipe:

juice of 1 orange

half a ripe banana

two cubes of fresh pineapple

1 raw egg

some water to dilute

I blend it all in a deep cup with my hand blender. He guzzles it up with a

straw.

It's really delicious and you can't tell that there's an egg in it at all.

HTH,

You are the hard boiled egg

whisperer, Marilyn. I would NEVER think that would work or

taste...well, not disgusting. Eggs in a smoothie is an odd idea to

begin with, IMO. Welcome to the adventure of SCD, right??

Well, I'm working on something of a smoothie adventure myself just now.

And had one last year after my cancer surgery. In most cases, if you

balance the veggies and the seasonings right, the egg or eggs is merely a

thickening and enriching agent, and adds very little in the way of

taste.

As you may be aware from other postings, my 87 year old Mom has dementia

and congestive heart failure. She is not SCD.

She's decided chewing is too much work.

So, I'm trying to come up with pureed foods that we can feed her, but

which won't be dripping all over the place.

So far, I have done:

chicken, chicken broth, boiled egg, and peeled steamed zucchini, with

homemade poultry seasoning.

tomato sauce (I use juice for me), steamed zucchini, basil, and

boiled egg.

tomato sauce, steamed zucchini, and bison, with a variety of

seasonings -- everything from Mexican to Italian. As my Mom does do

cheese, I made a " taco mix " for her of the bison, Mexican

seasonings, shredded cheddar, some sour cream (well, dripped half &

half yogurt, since it was what I had handy) and a couple dollops of

guacamole and blended away. I had some additional guacamole and

" sour cream handy, and she alternated bites of that and bites of the

other two.

grilled fish filets, chicken broth, assorted steamed vegetables, and

homemade blackened fish seasoning, along with a drizzle of olive oil and

coconut oil

chicken, poultry seasoning, onion, garlic, cooked butternut squash,

chicken broth. This one was particularly well-received. I thought I had

three servings there, and she ate it in two. Not that Dad or I minded.

grilled pork chop, pork drippings, a leaf of romaine lettuce and a

dollop of homemade Caesar salad dressing

I'm working on some other combinations, but these have been received

favorably. Try mixing and matching the proteins and vegetables which are

tolerated with various seasonings. I mention broth as a liquid, but you

can use a little water if you haven't got broth. You can also toss in a

cap of E-lyte to balance the electrolytes if desired.

These are what I call savory smoothies. I ate a bunch of them after my

cancer surgery because I wanted readily absorbed nutrition. I just toss

ingredients into my mini-Cuisinart (or if making a bunch, into my

Vita-mix) and grind first, then blend fine. The big Cuisinart does not

puree things as finely as the mini or the Vita-mix.

Savory smoothies are all about using your imagination on what foods you

tolerate (or your kids tolerate) and then blending away.
