I have several recipies and drink them most days as my snack, the are quite filling and as they are sweet hit one of those junky snack spots

They are based on recipies in Rose Elliott's low carb veggie cookbooks and are anywhere from 1.5 carbs up to about 5 carbs depending on what you put in them. I have adapted the original recipies, for example soya milk instead of water, as I like them slightly thicker than the original recipe.
my basic recipe is as follows, I have tweaked it a bit to get a consitency I like, depending on the ingredients
55g tofu
150 ml soya milk (or water)
1 scoop of plain protein powder - I use the plain one from Holland and Barrett and have also tried a whey protein powder
2 tablespoons (15ml) of dairy or soya cream
sweetener of your choice to taste
blend until smooth with a stick blender or in a goblet blender
The actual carbs vary depending on the ingredients you use.
I find the soya protien powder has a slightly more powdery texture than whey protien. As soon as you start to use the manufactured flavoured protien shake powders, the carbs go up sharply :shock:
Using dairy cream makes it thicker.
The soya protein powder does not mix easily - I usually use a balloon whisk to initially blend it with the other ingerdients before using the electrick stick blender,otherwise it congeals on the blade of my stick blender :shock: and it is a heluva job to get it off
frapuccino - add 1 teaspoon of good quality instant coffee, you can also add food flavouring essence for variety
lemon cheesecake - add a couple of drops of lemon food essence and some lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice
strawberry - add a small handful of strawberries or other berry fruit
my favorite is the coffee one (less than 2 carbs) but I am experimenting with other flavours such as chocolate, almond and peanut butter. I have tried several of Rose Elliott's original recipies and some are not up to much, but fiddling around with quantities and substituting ingrdients is good.
I have googled low carb protien smoothies/shakes but have not really come up with much yet, and many of the ones I have found involve banana. I have found recipies in some of the other low carb books I have acquired.
Watch quantities and what the actual ingredients you use do to the carb count. If you leave it longer than 20 minutes it seems to thinken up but is still very drinkable if you either blend it again or use a whisk in it.
:shock: CLEAN EVERYTHING STRAIGHT AWAY :shock:
