DI'S BASIC SHAKE AND VARIATIONS

Recipe By :"Diana "
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:10
Categories : 0-5G Low Carb Beverages
Beverages-Tea

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup cold water
2 scoops soy protein Isolate -- or whey any flavor
psyllium husks 1 tsp -- (1 to 2)
optional - adding fiber but not carbs here
12 ice cubes -- (12 to 15)

The real trick to keeping the protein shakes low carb is to use heavy cream and water instead of milk. Here's my basic recipe:
Whirl the whole thing up in the blender. (Pulse works best for crunching up the ice cubes.) The end result will have a consistency like a Wendy's Frosty. Omit the ice cubes, and you can just drink it.

I doctor my shakes up with additions as follows:
In a chocolate shake I add:
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder + 1 packet artificial
sweetener +
a) 1 teaspoon instant coffee
b) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
c) 2 tablespoon DiVinci sugar free creme de menthe syrup
d) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
e) 1-2 teaspoons peanut butter
In a strawberry shake I add:
a) 2-3 tablespoons DiVinci sugar free raspberry syrup
b) frozen strawberries in place of some of the ice cubes
In a vanilla shake I add:
a) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
b) 1-2 teaspoons peanut butter
c) 2 or more tablespoons DiVinci sugar free creme de menthe
extract
d) some frozen blueberries in place of some of the ice cubes + a
sprinkling of cinnamon or ginger
e) 1 to 2 tablespoons DiVinci sugar free cinnamon syrup
f) 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 packet artificial sweetener, + 1
teaspoon root
beer extract
g) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
h) 1 teaspoon instant coffee, a packet of artificial sweetener &
a little
cinnamon
i) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract, a packet of artificial
sweetener, and
a little cinnamon or ginger
In a vanilla praline shake I add:
a) 1 to 2 tablespoon DiVinci sugar free caramel syrup, a
sprinkling of
Brown Sugar Twin, and some finely chopped pecans
b) 1 to 2 tablespoons DiVinci sugar free pancake (maple) syrup
