Try cutting your liquid down, that will thicken any shake.< /p>

If you get a fill, and your tight, add more liquid, and thin it out.

Clean Eating pumpkin smoothie

(Makes 1 serving)

Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup pumpkin (I used canned and organic)

1 tbsp. agave

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (no sugar added)

2 tbsp. whey Protein Powder

Just blend everything together. I wasn't quite satisfied with this recipe....it was a little too tangy for my taste. I think next time I will add a sliced frozen banana and see if that helps with the tanginess. It wasn't bad or anything' date=' just needs a little tweaking for my taste.[/quote']

Sounds yummy

I am on "mushies" for one month post op.

Breakfast- Decaf green tea, 2 soft poached eggs

Lunch- very soft baked meatballs(1/2 cup) with Tomato basil sauce.... Very tasty!

Dinner- will be tilapia baked with lemon and tarragon

I was getting into a rut with cottage cheese, yogurt, part skim ricotta.Then I spoke with my nutritionist and she reminded me about soft, runny oatmeal and cream of wheat and she suggested the meatballs . Much happier now!

Also reading Jean Mc Millan cookbook for ideas.

Anyone here have a recipe for a REAL THICK high Protein Shake? I purchased the PB2 and it tastes good with milk and unflavored Protein powder, but it's not THICK. I'd LOVE something like a milk shake.

Any ideas?

Not sure if you like oatmeal, but I recently saw a recipe for an smoothie that looked super thick. It was made with a ripe frozen banana (sliced), cooked oatmeal, yogurt, and almonds. I imagine the banana and oatmeal would work pretty well with the PB2. You could try starting with the frozen banana, cooked oatmeal (1/4-1/2 cup), PB2, Protein Powder, and a splash of milk and blend everything together. You can add more milk if needed, a little at the time, until you get the right consistency.

If you don't like oatmeal, just adding the frozen banana and less milk will give it a thicker consistency. I use frozen fruit in most all of my smoothies and they are usually the consistency of a milkshake. You can even make banana ice cream by blending a ripe frozen banana and little to no milk....it is seriously like eating ice cream and the best part is that it is super healthy!

I posted how to thicken a shake. Also to your Blender, you can add some ice and let it crush it up. This helps too.

But if you want it at your own thickness, then add your liquid slowly, and stop when you put just enough in.

You can always make up the liquid that your missing later.

But you'll have the thickness that you want.
