Hello everyone!!!! I just wanted to share my awesome recipe for a protein shake. It is best used for the liquid stage or pureed stage!!

1 cup 1% milk

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter

6 ice cubes

Blend and drink with a straw!!! It tastes just like a reeces peanut butter cup!!!!

Enjoy everyone!!!

Sounds yummy!

hello casinocat74, I couldnt help noticing that I was banded on the same day as you! Thanks for the protien shake idea I cant find a good one anywhere!

its on my list to make some yummy

thanks...

OMG - sounds so yummy. I'm going to try one when I get home from work today. I love, love, LOVE anything with peanut butter & chocolate. Thanks Theresa for the recipe!

sounds very yummy but I was told I shouldn't use a straw after being banded. The nutrionist said it allows too much air to get into your smaller tummy.

Anyone have trouble with that?

I understood the same thing about the straw, however it's probably good with a spoon too

Interesting about the straw...my doctor gave me one in the hospital and said "get used to it, your meals will have to go through a straw for the next few weeks!!" I haven't had any issues with it.

yummy for the tummy

YUM!!! Thanks for the idea! I LOVE chocolate and peanut butter!

My doctor didnt allow straws only for the first 6 weeks after surgery. I now use them everyday without problems. This shake sounds fantastic!

That sounds soooo good! I just made a breakfast smoothie/protein shake with a banana and a spoonful of peanut butter and it's rather tasty as well. I could only find the unflavored whey protein powder in the smaller canisters. The chocolate flavor came in the big VAT.

OMG!!! I have had such a hard time with doing protein shakes...thanks to your recipe (which is AWESOME!!!) I can get my protein in now with no problem. thanks so much for sharing

My doc. sent me home with this protein shake idea! I use it almost everyday. I like to use vanilla protein with it too.

made this for my husband tonight for dinner (too lazy too cook) neither one of us banded (he is not wanting the surgery)..but he still loved it...that is on our keep forever list and here I was ready to trade out my chocolate powder for vanilla..so far the only one I had tried..

did a nutritious or an doctor tell you could have peanut butter. i was band 7-21-09. at one of the seminar i attend we told no peanut butter.
