Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Does anybody have a " fullproof " way of making smoothies. I just can't seem to get it right. I have tried the recipe with yogurt, but it seems to turn out too sour and the same goes for grape juice. I don't know if sour is the right word for it. It is not " pucker " sour, but it has a flat taste to it. You know that after taste you get from yogurt. Anyway, I would like to try something with apple juice or perhaps orange sherbet? likes bananas, apples,strawberries,blueberries,oranges etc... Naturally these are vitamin packed, but what about calories? e, who is sitting here in shorts feeling sympathy for those on the east coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 High Cal Milkshake---1250 calories per serving! 6oz Half and Half (220 cal) 8oz Heavy cream (750 cal) 1Tbsp. MCT oil (80 cal) 2Tbsp Protein Powder (25g, 100 cal) 2Tbsp. Nestle Quick (100 cal) Mix well together. This shake isn't balanced. Its about 60% fat, 30% protein and 10% carbo. A meal that really gives it to you because there isn't enough easy burning carbs. If you can get your child or yourself to drink 4-5 of these shakes a day you will gain weight. You may have to give more enzymes depending….I had to use more. Fruit Smoothie ½ juice of choice 1 banana 1 dollop honey 1 scoop ice or 3 ice cubes Blend until smooth in a blender on high. You may substitute 7 strawberries, or ½ peach for ½ banana. Also for extra calories add Scandical or whip cream on top. I hope these help you out. I am a 34 yr old women with CF. I have a 6 yr old daughter who is non cf. I used the high cal. drink myself and it is very yummy but I needed to use more enzymes as it is quite heavy but full of cal.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 2 cans vanilla pediasure 1 container of yoplait custard yogurt (Patti likes the orange, blueberry, and strawberry ones best) high fat vanilla icecream (hagen daz and blue bell natural vanilla bean are the highest we've found...it is necessary to use good quality icecream, or it doesn't cover the nutrient taste in the pediasure) Freeze on can of pediasure in ice cube tray. When frozen, combine 4 cubes, the other can of pediasure, and custard yogurt in the blender and blend. Add ice cream to reach the desired constistancy. This recipe usually makes 3 to four 8 oz. portions. We store these in bottle bags that are made for freezing breast milk. It makes for easy dating, thawing, and carrying in the ice chest. The combination of the custard yogurt and the icecream are how we got rid of that tacky taste that comes from yogurt.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi Dawn, Just wanted to thank you for the smoothie recipe, my 2 1/2 year old drinks 3 cans of Pediasure a day and has been getting sick of it lately so I will try making your recipe and see if he goes for that!! It sounds delicious.....shame about the calorie content for us!! - mum to 2 1/2 with CF & Dawn Meeks wrote: 2 cans vanilla pediasure 1 container of yoplait custard yogurt (Patti likes the orange, blueberry, and strawberry ones best) high fat vanilla icecream (hagen daz and blue bell natural vanilla bean are the highest we've found...it is necessary to use good quality icecream, or it doesn't cover the nutrient taste in the pediasure) Freeze on can of pediasure in ice cube tray.
