Milkshake/Slushie recipe

Buy some protein shakes and make it easy on yourself. Also, make sure
not to drink through a straw while you're healing. BTW, when my hubby
had his teeth pulled, the dentist told him to intensify his calories for
a few days to promote healing. Lots of soft boiled eggs with butter
melted in them and things like that. Good luck.

Here's a protein shake recipe collection, that I collected from
various members of alt.support.diet and alt.support.diet.low-carb
a few years ago

From: "Richard and Wendy Lee"

3 tablespoons Challenge 95 vanilla or chocolate protein powder (0g)
1/2 cup. Lucerne or Vitamilk cottage cheese (4g)
1/4 cup Vitamilk heavy whipping cream (1.65g)
3/4 cup liquid. either crystal light or water
6-8 ice cubes

Blend
---------------

From: "DEBBIE CUSICK"

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 cup Healthy N Fit 0-carb egg protein powder
(vanilla flavor, but all the ingredients read is "vanilla flavoring" - no
sweetener)
1/2 cup water
3-4 ice cubes
1/2 tsp vanilla (or other extract depending on flavor of shake)
2 rounded tsp sugar-free instant pudding powder, flavor of choice
sweetener to taste, if desired

Combine all ingredients except ice cubes in blender and blend until mixed.
Add ice cubes and blend for a couple more minutes. Pour into glass and
enjoy.

---------------

From: "Tricia Rae"

here are a couple I use:

One scoop of Whey protein powder
One Tablespoon Just whites
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup strawberries

One cup coffee
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup whipping cream
one scoop protein powder
equal tablets to taste

---------------

From: "Florida Mike"

Here is a shake I used to use after my workouts in the gym or football
field. I still use it now on my Atkins/PP hybrid diet. Tastes good and
good for you :-)

2 scoops chocolate Designer Protein (whey protein)
1 scoop of N-R-G protein powder (soy, casein, whey, egg proteins)
1 whole egg
2 tablespoons macadamia nut oil (mmm mmm good)
2 packets of Equal
1/2 cup of half and half
2 cups of water
4-5 ice cubes

I find this shake a treat and use it as desert most of the time. Most other
shakes I have to force down. Hope this helps you out some.

---------------

From: "Jamie Burns"

MY FAVORITE PROTEIN SHAKE WHEN DIETING:
1 scoop Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey/Strawberry
(1g. carb, sweetened w/stevia)
1 tsp. Brewer's Yeast (about 3 g. carb, but good glucose disperser)
1 tbs. Cod Liver Oil
1 tbs. Flax seed oil (without lignans)
2 tbs. Twin Lab MCT Oil
1 tbs. Heavy whipping cream
and on days 2 thru 5 of BodyOpus diet I add
1 tbs. wheat bran (5 g. carbs/3.5 g. fiber)
or 1 tsp. Metamucil (has aspartame and maltodextrin)

---------------

From: "Kathleen Shapiro"

#1:

1 scoop Designer Protein, Vanilla Praline
2 Tbs Heavy Cream
1 packet Sweet 'n Lo
3/4 cup Seltzer
1/2 capful Vanilla or Maple flavoring
1 1/2 Tbs Barlean's flax seed oil
Some Ice Cubes - pulse in blender til ice is not *clinking*
Enjoy!

#2:

1 scoop Designer Protein, Vanilla Praline
2 Tbs Heavy Cream
3/4 Cup Canfield's Diet Chocolate Fudge Soda (NO citric acid!)
1 1/2 Tbs Barlean's flax seed oil
Some Ice Cubes - Pulse in blender til ice is not "clinking"
Enjoy!

---------------

From: "Screamer"

1 1/2 cups Crystal Light - any flavor (already mixed with water)
4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 scoops carb-free, fat free vanilla egg protein powder
1 ounce cream cheese
about 1 cup ice cubes

Whip and enjoy. A Pitcher of this lasts me all day, sometimes 2,
depending.

About 5 carbs, plus the crystal light.

---------------

From: "K in Cali"

My favorite protein shake recipe:

12 oz very cold diet orange soda
2 scoops vanilla flavored protein powder, preferably Jay Robb
2 oz cream
1 cup or so of ice

Combine above in blender, blend for 1 1/2 minutes, pour and serve.
Cream can be omitted if dairy sensitive.
Tastes fabulous. I don't have it often due to citric acid but it is great
in the morning especially if one is going to work out.

--------------

Quoted message said:

From the Protein Power book

1/2 cup raspberries, sliced strawberries or peaches, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Crystal Light or Sugar Free Tang (already mixed, not the powder)
to taste, enough to cover all the other ingredients in the
blender jar.

Mix in the blender. You can add ice if using fresh fruit.

---------------

The Frugal Gazette Diet Drink

7 Tbsp powdered egg white
4 Tbsp regular flavor, smooth texture Metamucil with no sugar or
sweeteners
20 pkts diet sweetener
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp nonfat dry milk

For flavor, ONE of the following:
4 Tbsp powdered unsweetened cocoa
6 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg powdered unsweetened drink mix ("Kool-Aid"😉, strawberry or
raspberry

1. Dry Mix: place egg whites, Metamucil, sweetener and dry milk into
a bowl. Thoroughly mix all ingredients. Add the desire flavoring and
store in a sealed container at room termperature. (If using vanilla
extract, stir until evenly distributed and allow to dry in open
container for 2-4 hrs)

2. To Reconstitute Drink Mix: Add 3 Tbsp of dry drink mix to 1 1/2
cups cold 1% or skim milk. For best results, use a blender, food
processor or shake vigorously in closed container.

---------------

Lastly, my own protein shakes, kind of high in carb for people on
Induction levels, but fine if you're in the 40g/day area

I use Breakstone cottage cheese, because a lot of others taste
salty or sour.

Protein base for all:
(about 28g protein, 5g carb)
1/2 cup cottage cheese
(rinsed in a strainer, if it has a sour taste)
1/2 cup pasteurized egg whites
(egg substitute -- Second Nature Eggs, has no onion
or garlic like Egg Beaters do, check labels )

My current favorite, Peach Melba:
4 oz. (by weight) frozen sliced unsweetened peaches (about 6g carb)
dash of DaVinci SF raspberry syrup
2 or 3 packets sweetener (or a little more DaVinci and save a
couple of carbs)
1 cup water
dash of cream, optional

berries: 1/3 cup frozen unsweetened blueberries
or 4 oz frozen unsweetened strawberries (about 6g carb)
2 or 3 packets sweetener
dash of vanilla extract (about 1/2 tsp)
1 cup water
dash of heavy cream, optional

chocolate: 1 tsp chocolate extract, or 1 heaping tsp cocoa
2 or 3 packets sweetener
about 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
few tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup water
6 ice cubes

I had all 4 out at the same time a few years ago, about an hour after coming
around I ate scrambled eggs. Why bother with slushies or whatever, you have
a blender - mash up proper LC food instead.

Make sure you don't have anything below or above body temp as that will
really
hurt - I passed out after drinking some water that was a little too cold.

Use a mouthwash a few times a day, eat good nutitious food and you'll be
fine
in a few days.

Just a note here. If using mouthwash, do so gently so as not to dislodge
the clots in the sockets. :-)

Thank you so much for the tip : ) Right now, I'm 2 hours past surgery, and am
terrified to do anything. I can't feel anything in my mouth, since
everything's numb, and am worried about choking. I'll try to do things slowly.

I can really sympathize with you. My husband had all of his teeth pulled
last year after years of procedures trying to save them. I was passing
on the advice the dentist gave us at the time, but he was still
miserable for a few days. I would imagine that you have sutures for the
wisdom teeth, so dislodging a clot might not be an issue, but best to
take it slow and easy and be on the safe side. I hope you feel better
soon.

Instead of ice cream and "sugar", I've been using Hood milk, berries and
crushed ice for my smoothies. Don't forget that good things to slurp are any
number of soups.

You can buy a snow cone maker at WalMart for about $15, and they sell
sugar-free syrup mixes in the same display. We use SF Kool-Aid in lieu of
the expensive syrups; we just use less water to make it more concentrated.
It's cheap, good, and there are a whole slew of flavors to choose from.

Thanks everyone! I love the sugar-free Kool Aid idea. I was surprised to find
my orthosurgeon told me I'm allowed to eat solids. So, I had a bowl of
scrambled eggs, which took me two hours to eat, lol. I'm going to try salad
tonight, before I take my last two pills for the day.

The only thing I'm worried about now is brushing my teeth at night. (Nor did
their FAQ mention anything about straws - I was surprised, since I'd heard so
much about the dangers of suction with stitches.) I was never told where the
stitches were placed, and ripping them out with a toothbrush would be painful,
and probably expensive.

Oh well, thanks again!! : )

I expect you'd be better off swishing your back teeth well with warm
wtaer, and letting the back ones go unbrushed for a few days.
Assuming you can open your mouth wide enough to get to them. :-*
