"Glucerna" = 26g carbs/bottle "Boost Glucose Control" = 16g carbs/bottle OK, which product would you judge "diabetic friendly?" http://www.atkins.com/Products/Advan...lla-Shake.aspx Atkins brand shakes have 1 gm of sugar 1 gm of fiber. Far lower than either of those. Bars often have the problem that when you read their ingredients you can end up thinking the listed carb count is fictional. Shakes do not have that problem. I recommend Atkins brand shakes as well as other brands that have extremely low carb counts. Unless you have a specific reason for more carbs because of doctor orders you'll do better with lower carbs down towards the range of 50ish grams per day. The diet plans foisted on diabetics are a high carb travesty. |

That's what you call job security. |

Are there any low carb recipes for this machine? Nana |

Probably a good idea as doG only knows what is in store bought ground beef. -- This space unintentionally left blank. |

Soy oil kills Hellman's for me. AFAIK, all the national brands are based on soy or canola oil, not very good. -- This space unintentionally left blank. |

A lot of people use their Vitamix for juicing fruit or to reduce root veggies into a puree. Very high carb. Low carb smoothies are easy to make with much lower power machines. They will work fine in your more powerful one. You bought a truck to do the work of a dolly is all. Ice cubes. Protein powder. Flavoring or sme frozen berries. Maybe splenda. Maybe oil. Cream maybe heavy maybe half n half. Grind it up. Drink it. You'll also be able to make soups with pureed low carb veggies. That should concentrate the flavors. Blanch low carb veggie on sale du jour. Toss in the grinder machine. Add an herb or a spice. Blend into a sauce or a soup. Use to flavor your meal. You will also be able to reduce very tough meats into a paste for tastey stews. You'll need to use veggies for texture in such a stew. Dice the tough meat and cook. Toss into the grinder and blend into submission. Add liquid until it pours. Use in a stew or filter for a broth. I've made nut butter in a food processor. I wonder if that will work in a Vitamix? It would be a mess to try and find out but if it works you'll have a source for butter made out of any nut you want or paste made out of any legume you want. Hummus is made by mixing a legume paste (chick pea aka garbanzo) with a seed butter (sesame ground into submission). |

Hummus is made by mixing a legume paste (chick pea aka garbanzo) with a seed butter (sesame ground into submission). I Googled it & found that the fiber content is high in the smoothies as it does not separate the pulp from the juice, it is ALL contained in the juice. I can make peanut butter too with 'nuthing' but peanuts! I'm not much for red meat (just a personal preference) I love hummus. What is lower carb that I can dip into it? I do have a protein powder too. It is due to arrive on the morrow, as they say. I am so excited!! I am over weight, diabetic blah, blah. I sure hope this will help me. Fingers brossedXX Nana |
