Low-Fiber Meal Replacement
This is a quick recipe for a low-fiber meal replacement that I just invented. I discovered, sadly, that there is a fairly small window between too few grams of fiber a day, and too many. Since my standard meal replacement shake provides 13 gms. of fiber in one nice-sized serving, and two of them provide 26 gms., I’m near my limit. If I then add a high-fiber taco to the mix, at 7 gms of fiber, there is absolutely no more room in me for any more fiber!
So when I want another small meal, and I often do, I need to make a low-fiber shake (or eat Wonder Bread!). I came up with this recipe today: let’s call it “Fiber-free mocha shake.”
Fiber-free Mocha Shake Left-over soy “coffee” or RocaMojo half-soy, half-coffee blend (about 1/4 cup is good)
1 level Tablespoon of Stevita Delight Chocolate Flavored Stevia, or 4 half-droppers of dark chocolate liquid Stevia (or your own mix of cocoa powder and Stevia Powder, to about 1 Tbsp.)
NOTES: ** There is no egg in the BestLife Soy Nog I used, but there is crystalline fructose–not the high-fructose corn syrup we usually get served in prepared foods.Use regular or vanilla soy milk or Naturade Soy-Free Protein Booster. One-third of a cup of the Naturade Protein adds 22 gms of protein; 2 scoops of the Fitness Labs Soy Protein adds 28 gms of protein. A warning: to me the Naturade Protein tastes like grass.
I promise more to come on Low- and High-fiber Meal Replacements.
