2 scoops Designer Protein
3/4 to 1 C of cold water
1/4 C Chocolate Soy Milk (Silk Brand)
Ice cubes (optional)
1 Equal Packet (optional)
Put all of the above ingredients in a blender and mix well.
This will give you more than 35 gm of protein. You can make it with 1 scoop of Designer Protein but reduce the liquid quantity if you do. The two scoops make it more "chocolatey" and gives you more protein. I don't like to make the shakes completely with milk because this just adds calories. I have found the 2 scoops with cold water is tasty enough but the chocolate soy milk makes it taste so much better. Don't save protein shakes too long throughout the day because they begin to decompose and lose effectivity. Make smaller shakes when you need them.
1 Can Solid White tuna in water or chicken in broth, keep some of the water/broth
1 TBS Light or Fat Free Mayo
1-2 TBS Pickle Relish
Salt and Pepper to taste (or add other herbs of your choice: dill, garlic or onion powder)
Place all of the ingredients in a food processer and blend.
This will make the tuna almost a "pate" consistancy, easy to swallow. I sometimes put a little Fat Free Cottage cheese in it too. But that is per taste. It makes it more moist. You can eat this alone or make little lettuce roll ups with it.
I also use chicken breast from a roasted chicken. I have also added a little pineapple to the chicken salad.
(Sounds strange!)
1/8 to 1/4 lb of shaved ham or turkey from the deli
1 TBS Light or Fat Free Mayo
Salt and Pepper to taste (or add other herbs of your choice: dill, garlic or onion powder)
I used this for when I was having problems getting enough protein at the beginning. It sounds weird but I have had it several times, particularly the turkey, and it is a good way to get it down!!
I always have to add herbs to my food so go by your own preferences here.
1 pkg Ground turkey (I don't use the ground turkey breast. Doesn't taste too good to me)
Salsa or chopped tomatoes (or canned crushed tomatoes), onions, garlic and cilantro
Taco seasoning (envelope) or southwest seasoning (ie Emeril's) (BAM!?)
1 can pinto, red or pink beans
Salt and Pepper to taste
Brown turkey first and then add salsa or veggies and seasonings. Add the beans and taste for seasoning. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
I make this on the weekends sometimes and freeze little portions for the week. You can also make different variations also. Italian, for example instead of southwest. I find this agrees with my stomach very well. Goes down easily too.
