Here's the basic recipe for George's Shake using plain protein powder, and a couple variations that folks from the community have sent in.
2 cups of milk, soymilk or oat milk
1/2 cup of fruit juice
2 tbs protein powder
2 tbs oatmeal (not instant)
Directions:
Put ingredients in the blender and blend on high for about a minute. If you do it for less time, you will be crunching oats at the bottom of your shake. If you prefer not to use milk in your shake, use water and a little juice. This shake work as a great breakfast choice because it combines nutritious foods with plenty of protein.
This is one of Kathleen's personal recipes.
Well, lesson learned yesterday. Both GF and I bonked after not eating enough during a busy workday. We both have pretty active jobs, so we came home dragging and had no real plan for dinner. We've been getting rid of the old food, so that basically means eating through it. Leftover Chinese Chicken and broccoli, and ravioli with pesto. I looked at the fat count for the pesto, and almost fell over - 26 grams of fat for 2 tablespoons. Ouch! I had less than 1 serving.
So what is that, day 3? I'm not really doing the "diet" thing so far, but I want to. Probably, this half-assed approach isn't really what is going to work for me. But then again, perfectionism is also an issue for me. So I'm going to keep going.
I made a plan for the next few days. We took inventory of what's left, and will work with what we have, filling in veggies and fruits. And I'll be writing in what I eat, so at least I'm accountable.
