Hey everyone! I am now entering the full liquids stage and excited yet am curious how everyone does a good intake of Proteins?

I have got a recipe for a high Protein smoothie.

1/4 c. orange juice

1/2 c. skim milk

3 tbsp nonfat dry milk

1/2 packet of SF carnation instant Breakfast

It evens out at 10.5 grams of proteins Anyone have any other good ones?

Also, it seems like the selection of FF Frozen yogurt/sorbet is a little thin in my area, unless I am not looking hard enough. Anyone know of any good brans?

Just say no to from frozen yogurt!!!!!! If you want yogurt in a Protein shake add Greek yogurt a couple ice cubes (you can even make fat free frozen milk cubes) and mix in a blender. Hampton Beach personal blender is fabulous on ice. Add splendra to sweeten.

Don't fool yourself that adding frozen yogurt to a Protein Shake makes it healthy.

Also, you might want to pay attention to sugar. Orange juice may have too many grams. My doc said not to eat anything with sugar more than 5 grams per serving. You have to be really careful. Personally, I think it's better to just ingest protein without all the additional ingredients. I take fat-free, low sugar Greek yogurt and add sweetener and vanilla or any other flavoring I might want. That makes for a high protein, low everything else dish. I've eaten it for all three meals when I was first banded. Now I eat it for breakfast because I like it so much and sometimes I've even eaten for dessert when I felt my protein wasn't quite enough.

I agree... watch the OJ sugar content. Use Almond milk and any flavor of protein powder. If you want frozen add ice, or freeze a try of almond milk. I use the unsweetened.

I eat frozen yogert once in a great while. SOme of these places have low sugar and fat ones. But still only once in a whi;e

I find it easiest just to drink a bottle of the ready to drink Premier Protein that you can get at Sam's Club ($18.88 for 12). It has 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar, 5 grams of carbs at 160 calories, plus it tastes pretty good. Sometimes I put it in the freezer for a bit and then it gets nice and thick. It's quick, portable and really convenient. You could probably get the vanilla and add flavoring or a little fruit to it for variety.
