Tips for starters
Our goal is to get in at least 60 to 100 grams of protein a day.
At first you may find it difficult to drink an entire shake—so make half or put half in the fridge until you can finish it.
Immediately after surgery, you may only need ½ cup milk and one scoop protein, after several months you can use 1 cup milk and 2 scoops of protein.
Fruit may be added, but watch your sugar and carbs.
Flavoring are great way to get variety.
Remember, even if you can't get all that shake in at one time, keep trying, you will.
Yes, you can. You have many more miles to go!

Peppermint is cool and refreshing yet really warm and cozy on a cold, even "snowy" winter's day. But did you know that peppermint can actually be good for your health.
At 60 calories, a serving of peppermint contains approximately 14 to 15 g of total carbohydrates, but watch out 11 of those grams comes directly from sugars.Hard candies contain 3.7 grams per piece.
Peppermint has antispasmodic properties and is known for soothing a cold and stuffy nose.According to the "Farmers' Almanac," peppermint contains menthol, a substance that acts as a decongestant. Peppermint candy can calm an upset stomach. Peppermint oil, often found in peppermint candies, is also said to soothe migraines and even relax sore muscles.
Peppermint possesses anti microbial and anti bacterial properties which can prevent the growth or overgrowth of potentially harmful bacteria including Helicobacter pylori, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Peppermint helps destroy bacteria that causes mouth odors in addition to fighting the germs that cause bad breath. Healthline.com advises that the oil in peppermint candies may also help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
The Discovery News Channel advises that peppermint oil may help provide a defense against irritable bowel syndrome.
According to the Cornell Center for Materials Research, peppermint oil contains higher levels of antioxidants than cereals, fruits and vegetables.

orange you glad it's christmas
The smells of oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit always reminds me of Christmas mornings. As children, our stocking would always be filled with fruit and nuts.
It reminds me of some other little children that used to "dream of sugarplums" while they waited for Christmas to arrive.
Actually, I bet you didn't know that sugarplums are actually candy that is made of dried fruits.Plum in the name of this confection does not mean aplum per se, but at one time, plums were used to denote any dried fruit.
So this Christmas, why just dream of sugarplums or you could decorate the house with fruit. While your head is filled with those familiar smells of the holiday—dancing with sugarplums and fresh holiday fruit, you can find loads full of fun and flavors of your very own with this recipe for a creamy orange protein shake.
One caution is to be careful of the sugar in orange juice and milk. But here are a few variations you might try.
Start with the basic formula. Then you can play around with the flavors until you find one you like.
If you use real orange juice, be sure to keep the portions to 1/4 of a cup or 2 ounces. If this doesn't give you enough flavor, you could try a small amount of orange Kool-Aid or orange extract. When using orange juice substitute Hood milk to keep the sugar content to a minimum.
Orange you glad its Christmas?
orange juice 1/4 cup
or Orange Kool-Aid
or orange extract
Hood 2% Milk (sweetened with Splenda, less carbs and sugar)
Protein powder
ice
vanillaextract
Its sugar "plum" delicious !
