The Soup That Saved Me During Liquids and more....

Potato soup was my lifesaver during the liquid stage, but I mixed it up a bit fom the way I usually make it.  First, i peeled and diced 7 potatoes and put them in a medium sized pot of water along with one onion.  This is much less potatoes than what I would usually add, but they are plenty for this recipe.  I boil this for about a hour and then I added chicken base.  Chicken stock will also work.  I continued boiling all of this until the potatoes were almost cooked away.  I then added a can of cream of chicken and 1 cup of finely shredded cheddar cheese....both of which up the protein count.   I continued to boil it until the cheese was melted into the broth.  For any potato chunks that are left, you can simply pick them out or put them through a food processor or blender to liquify them. 

The second recipe I want to share was given to me by a friend.  It is for a strawberry/banana protein shake.  Both strawberries and bananas can be blended down to liquid form.  After you do this, add in 8 ozs of skim milk and one scoop of vanilla protein mix.  Blend until smooth.  You can drink it like this or you can add some ice and blend to make a yummy smoothie.

I hope these two recipes help.  God bless and best of luck on this journey we are all on!!!!
