Milkshake/Slushie recipe
Hey everyone -
I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow, and need good recipes for slushies/milkshakes. For the milkshake, I tried putting 1 cup of Breyer's Vanilla with 5/8 cup Carb Countdown milk and 1 tablespoon of sugar, but the consistency was wrong... not thick like a milkshake should be... even after putting it in the freezer for a bit. I thought the taste was too vanilla-y, too. I know a slushie would be made from sugar-free Torani and DaVinci. Can I find these at the local grocery store? How much portions do you use of ice and syrup for say, an 8 oz glass? Let me know what works for you guys. Thanks! Jen |

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. -- Cheri Type 2, no meds for now. Cinnamn112 wrote in message ...

Milkshake/Slushie recipe
are you sure you are in the right newsgroup???
What's your problem? I've lost 40 lbs in the past 3.5 months on Atkins, so don't question my position. When you have your wisdom teeth removed, you can't eat solids - not that I have to justify myself to you. Why do you even bother posting if you have nothing useful to say? Before you open your mouth and make a jerk out of yourself, make sure you know the facts. |

Milkshake/Slushie recipe
I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow, and need good recipes for
slushies/milkshakes. 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. -------------- 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 -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

Milkshake/Slushie recipe
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. Julie "Cinnamn112" wrote in message ...

Just a note here. If using mouthwash, do so gently so as not to dislodge
the clots in the sockets. :-) -- Cheri Type 2, no meds for now. Julie T wrote in message ... Use a mouthwash a few times a day, eat good nutitious food and you'll be fine in a few days.

When you have your wisdom teeth removed, you can't eat solids - not that I have to justify myself to you. I've had wisdom teeth out, had osseous surgery and an implant placed. Tofu works fine, as does chicken cut up into small pieces. After the osseous surgery, I ended up having cheerios for about a day as I was quite nauseated and they were the only things that would stay down. I chewed carefully, and it wasn't a problem. After that I realized that I can only take percocet for two days straight before my stomach rebels. If you want to baby yourself during this period that's fine, but there's no reason why you *have* to have foods with the exact texture or taste of milkshakes or smoothies in order to recover. I'd avoid anything too hot or too cold, anything with little bits that could get caught in the extraction sites and anything that requires significant chewing, or that you ingest through a straw and I might go up to maintenance levels of carbs for a few days. Why do you even bother posting if you have nothing useful to say? Before you open your mouth and make a jerk out of yourself, make sure you know the facts. Well, I have to say that I was a bit struck in your initial post about how you were adding sugar to your shakes in order to duplicate some exact taste/mouth feel. Recovering from extractions should be about letting your body heal, not focusing on creating the perfect milkshake.
