Dietician at the hospital

told us to start using Carnation Instant Breakfast a couple times a day with milk and ice cream. My advice - use Ben and Jerry's Vanilla or other flavor you like. The calorie count is high AND they are careful what goes into their products. Either that or Breyer's. Guessing you have enough artificial stuff going on right now

Carnation instant breakfast worked for me also. I would add ice cream, banana, canned fruit & protien powder.Along with my canned food. I gained weight during treatment & did

not loose a lb.

Pam's Lower Sugar Chemo Smoothies

8 oz. Greek yogurt (less sugar, more protein)

scoop protein powder (non-cow may be better - I used egg white based)

med to large banana (fights muscle cramps, too)

2 tbsp peanut butter (also helps blood sugar)

The above has over 500 calories and 50 grams protein. You can add ice cream or Ensure Plus for another calorie boost (120 to 320 more calories), but it will also increase the sugar content, if that's an issue (it was, for me). Bob's addition of hemp and/or olive or flax oil raises the nutrition value (along with 120 calories/tbsp. for most oils).

A good one with lots of calories is by Muscle milk it is a protein powder. It is called Muscle Milke Collegiate protein powder. One serving (4 scoops) is over 500 calories. It tastes pretty good too. Can also add a banana or an apple and still tastes good. It has different flavors but I tend to stick to vanilla and chocolate. Be creative and try adding different things to it. I also add peanut butter and honey to them. good luck. best wishes, A good one with lots of calories is by Muscle milk it is a protein powder. It is called Muscle Milke Collegiate protein powder.

As regards my smoothie recipe, it changes constantly based on what Michael can tolerate. I will list a bunch of things that hopefully will help you. Given you are early in the process, you can probably tolerate a lot more now, but know that this will change over time. So starting with the basics, the protein mix I use is called Ultimate Meal. I did a lot of research and this is the most nutrient dense supplement on the market. It has no additives or junk added, so is pretty pure mix of just nurtients. 1/3 cup gives you 18g protein and 170 cals if you just mix with water. I was using Whey protein, but recently have eliminated all dairy as it just adds to the mucous mess. As regards my smoothie recipe, it changes constantly based on what Michael can tolerate.

subheading: So here is the basic recipe that I am using today:

1 heaped tablespoon ultimate meal (60 cals)

2 tabs extra virgin olive oil (240 cals)

1 heaped tabs organic smooth almond butter (approx 95 cals - depends on brand)

½ cup almond milk (30 cals)

1 tabs maple syrup (approx 70 cals - depends on brand)

subheading: Optional (things I used to add previously - not all at once necessarily!):

¼ avocado (40 cals)

½ tub organic full fat yogart (55 cals - I was using Yo Baby Vanilla/Banana brand)

½ cup blueberries (approx 30 cals)

½ cup strawberries

½ cup cottage cheese

Organic apple juice

The Ultimate Meal is pricey - but I feel it is worth it. I get mine at Whole Foods locally, but you can also buy on line at www.ultimatelife.com
