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!!!

Jiffy has an all natural peanut butter that I use. I understood that is was okay in a shake, the rule my doc says "is if it doesn't slip and slide on a plate, it won't once it gets in your stomach." Hope that helps, I was banded on the 22nd and haven't had any problems with peanut butter.

I recently ordered the PB2 powder online and started using it in my shakes. It only has about 50 calories for 2 tbsp vs. 190 calories for 2 tbsp of regular pb. The directions say to mix 2 tbsp of the powder w/ 1 tbsp of water, but I mix it with 2 tbsp of water when I'm using it in a shake. You get the peanut butter taste without all the extra calories.

Did you have surgery with Dr. Robert Marvin?

He was my MD banded on 2/17/09 with Realize band. I was hoping to find other band pts. with him. It sounds like you have met your goal. I am down 50 lbs but have 175 more to go......

Can't wait to try it um on my preop diet right now so I will try it after surgery.my date is 8-19-09

Good job !!!

lOVED IT!!!! I have had it twice, thank you thank you

Loved it sooooooooooooooooooo goooood

I use carnation instant breakfast, the chocolate flavor, as suggested by my nutritionist. I like to add sugar free instant bananna pudding & sometimes a small spoon of peanut butter to it. I mix it up in my magic bullet. One thing I learned last night was make sure I drink it right away. Duh pudding!! lol

Peanut butter in a shake is fine because it thickens the shake and is moist enough to slide down. Nuts can not be put in for the shake becasue in a shake you really do not chew.

I went to the kitchen to make the shake for my lunch ( I eat at crazy times)...get everything at the blender and go for the ice...:confused:someone finished the ice....so this evening out to the store..should hide the ice from family behind something:sad:

:frown::drool:will make if for breakfast:drool::grouphug:

Made myself one for lunch and it was very good. Thanks for the recipe

This is the only protein shake I make. I also add about 1 Tablespoon Of Hershey's sf choc syrup YUM. Its the best:thumbup:

Adding sugar free butterscotch to protein shakes are very good too! Or sf banana too! I make mine with 1/2 cup light soy milk (was told easier on stomach than milk) & 1/2 cup ice.

i finally made this recipe and oh my it is delicious and it does help me with my sweet cravings. But with the exact ingredients that the thread starter put down.....i used those ingredients and one serving of this is already 440 calories yikes!! So im going to have to adjust some of the ingredients, whether its changing to skim milk, and or doing just one Tsp of the peanut butter..
