Recipe for Protein Shake and a Low Fat Trifle Dessert

Today is Monday, March 28, 2011 I am going to try and add a recipe or two each week for those who have had gastric by-pass surgery or anyone looking for low fat and low sugar recipes. If you have any good recipes, low fat and low in sugar, let me know. It would be good to share. I have not liked too many of my protein shakes however, my dietician gave me this one and it is pretty good: PROTEIN SHAKE 4 cubes of frozen low fat milk (I pour milk in one of my ice cube trays, when frozen I pop it out and reserve them in a baggie for my shakes.) 3 tablespoons of yogurt -any flavour you like 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese (I have not used this in my shakes) few frozen fruit berries or banana chunks (both are good-if using bananas, I use really ripe ones-not good for eating but good for this) a little dash of vanilla extract 1 scoop of your protein powder-blend of this in your blender LOW FAT TRIFLE (You can put this in a glass bowl or trifle bowl or in individual glass pudding bowls-you do this because it look pretty) INGREDIENTS: -Angel Food Cake or a low fat vanilla cake -strawberry or cherry- sugar-free jello -2-3 cups of cut up fruit (strawberries, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, etc.-if using bananas or apples, cut them up and pour lemon juice on top, let them set in it for 5 min. then drain the juice off, this will prevent them from turning brown) -low fat/sugar free pudding mix (vanilla or butterscotch-(I have not done this, but you could add a bit of your vanilla protein powder to this, once it is mixed or to the cool whip) -low fat/low sugar or no sugar cool whip PROCEDURE: -angel food cake or low fat vanilla cake, cut into cubes, put in the bowl -mix up your no sugar jello mix - I used strawberry or cherry -pour half over the cake -spoon half of fruit on top -spoon half of pudding on top of fruit -cover with cool whip -then repeat all of this one more time -top with a strawberry or any fruit you wish (IF DOING THIS IN INDIVIDUAL BOWLS, ADD A LITTLE FRUIT, PUDDING AND COOL WHIP IN EACH IN EACH BOWL TO MAKE IT GO ALL AROUND) This is delicious. I took a picture of this, but I have not got it off of my camera yet, when I do, I will add it so you can see it. Talk with you folk next Monday with knew recipes that I will try. If any of you have a low fat and low sugar or no sugar recipe for cookies, let me know. God bless, Wendy
