2 cans of CIB VHC (vanilla) 1 big scoop of EAS Protein Powder (choc) 1/2 cup of dry quaker oats 1 bananna 6 oz of Activia vanilla yougurt 1 cup of whole milk or water to thin it out
Put it all in the blender! I have a pretty high powered blender that makes it all very very smooth. It has a ton of calories, vitamins, protein, potasiam and helps a ton with the digestion problems that all the pain killers cause. The dry oats blow up in your stomach and keep you quite full! Instead of milk or water I used apple juice a couple times in the beginning but it started to burn a bit so I have been using milk now! Just wanted to share what has worked well for me being i am in the middle of my 5th week and have only lost 10 lbs without the PEG of course!
