Super Smoothie

Piggymon · 23-03-2009, 21:28

Just started making these to boost my protein intake and make sure I manage to get some food in me whilst working .. all I can say is yummor !!

I mix up :-
Milk ( atm this is s/s but will swap to skimmed next time we go shopping )
Fruit ( tomorrow's one is strawberries, bananas & raspberries )
Oats
Fat Free Fromage Frais
1 scoop protein powder
Teensy bit of sweetner ( most people probably won't need it but I have a sweet tooth )

Bingo, bango, bongo .. nice protein rich, healthy meal replacement

I have half as my mid morning snack and half as my afternoon snack. Because I'm so busy at work I don't have to worry about faffing around with food. Just grab it out of the fridge and job done

Sounds awesome! Do you blend it at work or before you leave?

Hmmm a good pint of that would be damned nice. How big are the measures?

I'm addicted to Nairns oatcakes at the moment - eating loads of those with tuna, peanut butter, mackerel, hummous, etc... I get through 2 packs a week

However I like the idea of a smoothie like that!

I make it up the night before and pop it in the fridge

I haven't been measuring it, I make enough for a shaker full and split it into 2 meals.

I'll try and meausure it tomorrow

Oh ok, so about a pint's worth? It's just the consistency I guess has to be runny enough to drink but a bit thicker? Just curious to how many oats etc.. you put in. I really want one! When the rugby season is over, can I come over and play and you can make me one?!

Pwetty pwease?!

Sounds jolly tasty. I'll be getting some protein powder and oats for next time I'm out on the rig. Breakfast, lunch and dinner aren't too bad but trying to get a proper balanced meal in between is nigh on impossible so, for those days I simply can't manage proper food, I'll have shakes to fall back on.

Nairns oatcakes rawk, I love them to bits

Piggymon · 24-03-2009, 22:09

I measured it out tonight !

All measured in the shaker
Oats - up to 200ml mark
Milk - 300ml
Fat Free From Frais - 2 tblsp
1 scoop protein powder
1 Banana
6/8 raspberries
3 strawberries
1tsp sweetner

YUM YUM !

Will, you'll have to pop round for a weekend of pumping da iron when you've finished chasing the eggs

Stan, I hope you enjoy it, it's so easy to make the day before and pop it in the Fridge. I'm so busy I work I struggle with my mid morning or mid afternoon snacks but with this shake it's really easy

And the good thing is...it's made from FOOD. When people see a shake they automatically think of it as something not as good as food, but this IS food, just mushed down a bit

Will · 25-03-2009, 09:15

I need to get a blender. That looks too good!!!!

Swap the sweetner with cinnamon!!

As for the a weekend of pumping iron, you bet yer ass!

Desmo · 25-03-2009, 13:22

I'm just having some of mine now

Mine is chocolate though and without the fruit in it. Doesn't quite taste as nice though so need to experiment a little I think.

Piggymon · 25-03-2009, 21:42

I've just made mine up for tomorrow with cinnamon instead of sweetner..... OMG

It's LOVELY !
