Ingredients

  • 1 cup starch (rice, oatmeal, etc. See Recipe Notes for options)
  • 4 ounces protein (meat, chicken, protein powder. See Recipe Notes for options)
  • 1 piece fruit
  • 1/2 - 1 cup veggies or greens
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • Enough liquid to fill to the 4 cup mark on blender. Use either water or stock. (about 1-2 cups)
  • Optional: Raisins or Seeds, Cocoa, Stevia Extract, etc. for a sweet version.

Instructions

  • Blend everything together well for 1.5-3 minutes.
  • On a Blendtec use "Soup" setting and run for 90 seconds, if it needs to blend again, run another 90 seconds.
  • Using a Vitamix, blend on high for 60 seconds or more, until smooth.

Notes

  • Starch options include beans (see How to De-Gas Beans), potato, rice, and oatmeal (or other gluten-free grains). Skip this for a low-carb option. Use sweet potato or other on-plan starch for AIP.
  • For protein, bacon, beef, chicken, eggs, and cheese (use vegan proteins if necessary) are good choices. Use a quality protein powder for a sweet version.
  • Fruits that would work well are apple, orange, banana, etc. Use berries for a lower-carb option.
  • Green peas, green beans, broccoli, and salad mix would work great for veggies or greens.
  • Here is a great brand of stevia.
  • This recipe is a crossover if you are on the Trim Healthy Mama plan.
