Question - Smoothies

sails92 · 07-23-2007, 06:53 AM

Hello LCF,

Does anyone know of any low carb smoothie receipes? If so, can you please share it with me? I am currently doing the Kimkins WOE plan and would like to change it up a little bit. I am looking for a smoothie recipe that would be great with my GNC Whey Protein. Thank you in advance for any help.

Most smoothie recipes contain fruit and since that's offlimits on any Kim plan, I don't know how you'd pull that off.

I have heard of people using diet soda to mix in with their protein drink so if you did a sugar free orange soda and vanilla PP, maybe it would taste like a Creamsicle or if you did rootbeer then a root bear float. I haven't tried it, though, so I can't vouch for how it tastes.

You might want to try the vanilla protein powder mixed with a flavored Davinci syrup and some ice cubes. That might get you close to a "smoothie" type of drink that is Kimkins friendly. There are also tons of flavors to choose from.

Thank you for the suggestions. I am not doing the fruits or veggies right now so I was looking for something different.

if you do a vanilla whey protein with some cream soda it is pretty good. I tried it with the vanilla yogurt as well. it's better that way. but just letting you know, it's good with root beer too

i don't know much about kimkins. can you have milk?
i make a smoothie with milk, protein powder, and a few shakes of sugar free instant pudding (oh and a few ice cubes). comes out thick and tasting like a milkshake.
:-)
love,

I use Body Fortress Whey Protein, I get it from Walmart.
I like to mix a scoop of that with diet cream soda and a few ice
cubes, thats really good.
I also like Hood's Calorie Countdown milk, it has 3 carbs, and mix
that with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate whey with a few ice cubes.
If I've got a few carbs to spare I'll put 2 or 3 strawberries in it, just
every now and then though.

I use a scoop of whey protein powder with diet 7-up, 1/4 cup non-fat cottage cheese, a bit of sweetener, then flavor it with 1/4 tsp Crystal Light powder. Orange, Raspberry, Strawberry, etc. Plus 4 ice cubes. You can also use Crystal Light prepared with the protein instead of the soda.
