New diet drink

[judy]

-1/2 cup ff ricotta cheese
-1/2 cup Fage (Greek) yogurt, plain or 2%
-1 container AdvantEDGE carb control French Vanilla shake by
EAS
-2- 3 tblsp. of some sort of good antioxidant liquid (optional)
-2 tblsp. flax meal
-2 tblsp. wheat bran
-1 large handful raw almonds
-1 large handful roasted almonds
-4 or 5 halves English Walnuts
-2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
-a few shakes cinnamon
-6 droppers of Stevia
-blueberries if you want

This is low carb, high protein. My cousin also said that no carbs after 6 PM really helps. I haven't tried that yet.

I was substituting Glucerna for the Advantage EAS, but the Glucerna is much higher in carbs, and lower in protein. I was using evaporated milk instead of the cheese, but also it is higher in carbs, lactose and lower in protein. CARB ALERT!!! No more substitutions. I also bought a protein powder, and I'm throwing that in, and I haven't found a liquid antioxidant yet.

It's good as a morning drink and even as an afternoon pick me up. I make twice the recipe, so I have it the next day. I start out with coffee and a banana, then drink this at aboiut 11 AM.
