also TNH - care to share your shake recipes?
In my shakes I can only taste the fruit and the texture of the oats/broccoli. I love it. Feels like I'm eating healthy, hitting my macros, tastes good, and is great for me since I don't always have a big appetite. I'm looking to add other healthy stuff to it since I won't be able to taste it lol. Was thinking lemon juice or kale or something.
I don't have any particularly tasty recipes, I usually just put all the healthy stuff into my Vitamix that I'd rather not eat conventionally.
I usually do a bag of some kind of green veggies - green beans, broccoli, or asparagus.
When I have it, I put in Kale, spinach, or cabbage.
I do a few scoops of protein powder.
I put 3-4 whole, raw eggs, or a cup of liquid egg whites.
I use pineapple or orange juice as the main liquid, sometimes a bit of cranberry or grapefruit.
I sometimes throw tuna in there. It really hurts the taste, but again, it's all about getting the healthy stuff down the hatch.
I always put a cup of some kind of frozen fruit in there for healthy and taste. Mangos, berries, pineapple, etc.
For fats, I put a tbsp of either EVOO, coconut oil, or fish oil. Sometimes I do a little bit of all of them.
As nasty as all of these ingredients sound, it is really quite tolerable. I feel very healthy after a shake containing all this stuff.
There is a book by Dr. Jonny Bowden called the '100 Healthiest Foods in the World'. I try to use as much stuff from that book as possible.
