Guest guest Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Have tried turning my shake into " ice cream " but it freezes way too hard to be enjoyable that way. Here's an alternative I found I like a whole lot, and it serves as a treat rather than something I gotta do to stay healthy: Add one cup boiling water to one packet of your favorite flavor of sugar-free jello and stir until jello is completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir well. (At this point, you can add other ingredients if you like; I put in 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon and 3 TBS ground flaxseed meal). Allow to cool to room temperature, then add 3 scoops protein shake mix and half of an 8-oz tub of sugar-free cool whip (it can be low-fat or no-fat as well if you like) and mix well. Consistency will be a little thick. Divide into 3 portions and refrigerate till you're ready to eat. (Those little deli containers that usually hold a half pound of deli stuff are an ideal size). If you hate to " make things " like I do, make a double recipe; it'll last twice as long. My pro shake is Labrada's Pro-V 60 (chocolate) and it goes good with raspberry, cherry, strawberry, orange, etc jello. I generally use only 6 oz of water to a scoop of mix when I'm doing them " straight. " The above recipe gives a little more liquid per scoop but it tastes really good. DOES NOT TASTE LIKE JELLO !! Each 1/3 recipe gives me 30g protein. You could adjust if necessary to fit your particular brand. Variations I intend to try but that I'm pretty sure will taste great: Add 4 oz cream cheese before the boiling water; mix with an eggbeater Add a small amount of crushed drained (canned) pineapple at room temp (goes good with the cream cheese as well) Add both the above, change the jello to lime and the shake to vanilla (this last is closest to the lime-cream cheese jello mold recipe that's famous in my family (TASTES EVEN LESS LIKE JELLO) and that gave me the idea to begin with).

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Doesn't the protein in the mix break down if you prepare it ahead of time? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
