Anybody make shakes/smoothies ?

[KeepOnShruggin]

So I need to squeeze about 500 more calories into my days, and I think a shake will be the quickest way without having to cook more stuff with my meals

does anybody have any recipes ? preferably with less than 10g of carbs ? but anything will do, I can make adjustments

so far I had this idea and it tastes pretty good, but a little more than 10g carbs and i'd rather have something without whey...

2 tbsp natty pb
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp pure cocoa powder
3 tbsp heavy cream
1 scoop chocolate whey
1/2 cup cottage cheese
water/low carb milk
ice

anybody have any other ideas ?

Maybe just like some cocoa heavy cream and a ton of egg yolks and some sweetener.

egg yolks can add some good fat to anything. raw egg whites = nasty, raw egg yolks = awesome. I could drink a glass of egg yolks. maybe not the best recipe advice but just an idea lol.

My typical shake consists of;

water
heavy cream
casein
lecithin granules
olive oil
a little sweetener

[Don71]

I ususally just do Gironda style protein pudding.

1 or 2 scoops of protein powder and enough heavy cream to get the right consitency.

[echelon101]

2 tbsp natty pb
1 tbsp olive oil Ergh, use a nut oil instead
1 tbsp pure cocoa powder
3 tbsp heavy cream
1 scoop chocolate whey
1/2 cup cottage cheese
water/low carb milk
ice

Walnut or Almond oil

Thanks for reminding me of that.
Gunna add a little sweetener and hey presto, instant desert

Walnut or Almond oil

Why a nut oil over olive oil?

[jg_girl088]

Walnut or Almond oil

umm, olive oil is way better than a nut oil.

but coconut oil is even better than olive. Nut oils suck because they are full of omega-6 and not enough omega-3 to balance it out which is a big problem.

This is funny, Ive actually just started making shakes, mine is as follows:

-1/2 Cup lite coconut milk 120 cals, 12g Fat, 2g carb, 1g protein
(I use lite to get more liquid into my shake, still almost all fat)

-3 large raw whole eggs, 270 Calories
(Organic free run drug free chickens)

-1 scoop ISO Peanut butter chocolate protein powder, 118 Calories 2g Carbs, the rest is protein.

-4 drops stevia extract for some added sweetness

Total Cals = 508

This shake is delicious and has become my typical breakfast now, it keeps me full for a good 3 hours which is perfect because Iam currently eating every 3 hours on my cut.

[titebuoy]

those are some great shake recipes, keep em going

[Tootella]

a cup of almond milk (mine has 1 g carb per serving)
square of 100% cacao
as much peanut butter as you want. I usually do 2 tbsp
sweetner
ice
xanthan gum to get it thick


You can add more or less peanut butter or cacao to get the calorie number you want.

oh, i've also done something like this, but adding in a tiny tiny bit of sugar free jello powder, like cherry or raspberry to give a chocolate cherry taste. I do mean a little bit, like 1 tsp.

how much does Almond milk cost? is it really expensive like everything else Almond? Do you find it at a health store?...Does it taste milky, with a hint of Almond or what?

[Tootella]

I found mine in the expensive health aisle at the Kroger (grocery store) It was $3.50. It's the same size as that box of soy milk that they sell in the unrefrigerated section. That same size soy milk is 1.99 for a comparison. If i remember correctly, it's only 4 servings * 8oz. 32 oz. Not very much, so yeah, it's pricey. I wouldn't say it's milky. It's .... something you can get used to fairly quickly, but nothing is quite like milk.

it tastes a tad bit like milk and almonds, its a little watery (of course i drink the unsweetened kind) but it beats mixing my whey with water.

Whey with water = vomitus.

[titebuoy]

Whey with water = vomitus.

you must have never ran out of milk

[ItalWHOP]

Lots of Heavy Cream
Some water
muscle milk (ill deal with the 4 sugars)

[KeepOnShruggin]

half cup Hood low carb milk
2 tbsp heavy cream
half scoop whey
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp olive oil
2 large eggs
half cup crushed ice

[tackett]

I am bulking now and I find a smoothie to be an excellent way to get my extra calories in for the day, not to mention it saves me money and time being that I dont have to buy more meat(very expensive) or cook it (time consuming). My typical one goes like so:

2 cups skim milk
1 scoop choc. casein protein powder
1 scoop choc. whey protein powder
1 banana
1 spoonful natty peanut butter
3 spoonfuls oats

Its delicious in my opinion.

Sorry, you are correct. I just now realized he was asking for low carb smoothies. I just saw all the smoothie recipes and got all giddy and excited I guess, lol. Still yet, its a good smoothie, carbs and all. lol. My apologies.

[jorgemontenegro]

2 scoops ON choc casein powder
4-5 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons pure unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon pb
water and ice to fill up blender

i usually take 4 grams of cla with this shake as my last meal

i know the idea of avocado as a smoothie sounds gross but you have to try it... i dont even like them on their own but something about adding sweetener makes it taste amazing. best of luck
