Shakes??

[Atomicblonde]

Are there any induction friendly shakes out there ?

[Finelly]

Re: Shakes??

Nope. Sorry!

Re: Shakes??

Not even like flax seed and water and vanilla or something like that? Or even whipping cream?

Re: Shakes??

You could make a shake out of induction legal ingredients; however, I can't think of a pre-prepared shake that would be induction legal.

Re: Shakes??

You could use cream, but gotta remember you're limited to

Cream, heavy or light (limit to two to three tablespoons a day; note carbohydrate content

(quoted from the Acceptable Foods List)

But farther down in the Acceptable Foods List it says

an ounce of sour cream or three ounces of unsweetened heavy cream,

So...LOL, 1-3 ounces are allowed, depending on which paragraph of the Acceptable Foods List you refer to.

Personally, I stick to less than 1 ounce a day. Heavy cream is very calorically dense and I've seen quite a few people have issues with loss, cut it out, and then do fine. <shrug> YMMV.

You could, for example, make yourself a shake out of 1-2 ounces of heavy cream, some cream cheese, a couple packets of splenda and some protein powder (although some would debate the legality of protein powder) & ice. You'd have to count the cream cheese against your cheese intake, the cream against your cream limit, & the splenda against your 3 serving limit.

Ahh the joys of Induction!

That said, it's actually easier to make yourself a couple of eggs and sausage in the microwave. LOL

Just to clarify what Brook said about amounts of cream allowed

Acceptable Beverages
Cream, heavy or light (limit to two to three tablespoons a day; note carbohydrate content)

This is your daily 'allowance' - most people use it with their decaf coffee etc.

Special Category Foods

To add variety, each day you can also eat 10 to 20 olives, half a small avocado, an ounce of sour cream or three ounces of unsweetened heavy cream, as well as two to three tablespoons of lemon juice or lime juice. But be aware that these foods occasionally slow down weight loss in some people, and may need to be avoided in the first two weeks. If you seem to be losing slowly, moderate your intake of these foods

.
These are 'extras' that you can add if you are feeling a lack of variety - but not all at once - so you can add the olives or avocado or sour cream or the heavy cream.
But don't ignore the caveat of the last sentence - some people find they hinder weightloss!!

Re: Shakes??

Aside from Keto brand - which has now been discontinued - Optimum Nutrition's Pro Complex mixes are the only ones I've come across that I truly love. Of course, this is for after Induction! I get mine from Netrition or Vitamin Shoppe, because I have found their prices to be among the most reasonable.

In the meantime, you could try making shakes using Induction-friendly ingredients like canned pumpkin, cream cheese (remember to limit cheeses to 4 ounces a day), Eggbeaters (pasteurized = safe for shakes), a bit of ground cinnamon, up to 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream ... be creative! While cottage cheese is now not permitted on Induction, those who adhere to this old list allow it for themselves. I know this thread follows the newest Revolution book; just an FYI!

Re: Shakes??

May I ask why you want shakes? Is it for something sweet, or because you want a quick meal on the go?

[Atomicblonde]

Re: Shakes??

Sheila (my name is also Sheila) Thanks for that great recipe. It was great (i tried it).

Finelly, It was mainly for a snack on the go. and also for something sweet too, cant deny that.

*Interceding with an off-topic moment*

Whenever I read this thread title, Jerry Lee Lewis' "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" pops into my head!

Well, minus the disconcerting desire to marry my 13-year-old cousin, granted.

OK. I'm done now.

Sheila, that shake sounds awe-sa-hum!

Re: Shakes??

Haha, i know.. i think, "what if people think im getting the "shakes" and not eating a shake"

[SugarFreeSheila]

Re: Shakes??

I love meeting other Sheilas! Welcome to the board. Tell me, do you find that almost everyone spells your name "Shelia" at first? (As if it were pronounced "Shel-EYE-uh"?) Drives me nuts. lol

One thing you could also do to extend your shakes even longer is to make them, then pour some into one of those kid-friendly popsicle kits. Keep it in the freezer for a 4-popsicle treat! A little bit goes a very long way.

[Atomicblonde]

Re: Shakes??

Yes, They do spell it that way. All the time!

Good idea on the popsicle kit.

Re: Shakes??

since it was for on the go snack just mix the spice, the pumpkin and the cream cheese and have a spoonful as your snack. That is a great sinfully rich snack or use it on your flax pancakes yum
