Snacks: 3 times per day are 1/2 cup juice, 1/4 cup broth or 1 clear sugar free popsicle.

2. Next 10 days: B: 1/4 cup Protein shake, 1/4 cup skim milk, 1/4 cup juice and a liquid vitamin. L: 1/4 cup strained cream Soup, 1/4 cup skim milk, 1/4 cup pudding or yogurt and a liquid vitamin.

I've been creative with Protein shakes. One I like is: 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 scoop chocolate Protein Powder, 1tsp vanilla extract, 2 tsp decaf instant coffee two icecubes and blend.....Another one: 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 scopp vanilla protein powder, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp coconut extract, 1/2 tsp banana extract, two ice cubes and blend.........
