fitnessphreak Almond Butter Shake Reviews Date of last review 2 Sun January 16, 2011 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 8.5 supersize Description: Ingredient Quantity Almond Butter 3 tbsp Almond Milk 1 cup cinammon 1 tsp vanilla 4-5 drops liquid splenda 2 drops ice 1 cup protein powder 1 scoop This is a low carb protein shake recipe to replace the high carb protein shakes I used to make in the past. It is also a tasty treat! Based on a 2,000 calorie diet and 20 carbs max/day, this keeps you right under the limit. Almond milk is probably optional - you can substitute water or low carb milk of your choice. It may be less smooth with pure water. Subtract 1 carb, 1g of protein and 40 calories. You can, of course, sub any protein powder you have on hand, but most others contain at least 1 carb. You could also sub or add flax, oat fiber or poly-D if you are also looking for fiber. Reduce the protein by 26g and calories by 110. Blueberries compliment almonds well (~6 blueberries = 1 carb). However, I found I was barely able to taste them in this shake, so they are probably not worth it. Enjoy! Ingredients: Almond Butter, Almond Breeze, cinammon, vanilla, liquid Splenda, ice, Nature's Best Perfect Isopure How To Prepare: Add ingredients to blender. Blend! Number of Servings: 1 large shake Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 4g carbs, 2.25g sat. fat, 37.5g protein, 435 calories Preparation Time: 5 minutes Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy fitnessphreak Junior LCF Member   Posts: 0 Registered: August 2010 see this user's products

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Positive aspects of the product (pros): I realy like that taste Cons: Almond butter doesn't blend in well Tried it liked it. But before I added the almond butter I heated it in micro to soften it up thinking it would blend in the liquid better. The nice thing is I already had the ingredients on hand. I like to use stevia for the sweetener.The almond milk is the same brand you use it's the 40 calorie one because it's low in carbs. I might try adding a raw egg next time and see how that taste...
