I buy my senior Mom Walmart’s Equate (30 grams with 1 gram of sugar) protein drink to supplement her diet because she doesn’t eat lunch. On Thursday I tried to re-order two 12-packs, but couldn’t have it shipped! It’s because Walmart put it on sale and removed the shipping option. We have no Walmart brick-and-mortar stores in Manhattan for pickup. Rats! So no Equate protein drinks until the shipping option returns.
Meanwhile I’m make her a homemade High Protein Drink alternative:
Homemade High Protein Drink
Ingredients:
1.5 cups (12 oz) milk - 12 grams of protein
1/2 cup (4 oz) Greek Yogurt - 12 grams of protein
1 tablespoon peanut butter - 4 grams of protein
banana, small, or 1/2 large - 1 gram of protein
3 whole walnut kernels - 3 grams of protein
= 32 grams of protein
Directions:
Toss into a blender or food processor. Pour into a glass. Add a straw.
Optional: Tossing in strawberries, or blueberries, or a tablespoon of cocoa power gives the recipe different flavors and adds nutrients. To further vary the drink feel free to ocassionally add 1/4 cup of chia seeds, or oatmeal flakes. Both have protein and fiber.
Every day I give my Mom 5,000 ius of vitamin D and a muti-vitamin, both drugstore brands.
