Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hi, We are slowly weaning the diet and we use the shakes also. My daughter loves them and they work well as a meal replacement with some nuts. Great for travel. Mel loves the strawberry. Koch mom to keto diet since 6/00 Atkins shake idea Hi Gang, Some of you might know that my husband and I are doing Atkins now. I finally broke down and bought those expensive shakes. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was, and even happier to read the vitamin and mineral content. Macie has been asking for chocolate milk lately, so I thought of trying to mix some of the shake with cream. I plugged all the numbers in using the full amount of carbs in the shake (not the net carbs) just to be on the safe side. I used a bit more cream than shake, then added a bit of sweetener (she's on 3.5 ratio right now) She loved it! I whipped up some of the cream and mixed it with the shake and froze for popsicles. The shake contains a good amount of calcium (40% RDA for adults), magnesium, selenium, Vitamin B's, folic acid....about 20 listed. I know the RDA would be much lower for the small amount she's getting, but any extra helps. Glenna " The Ketogenic Diet....a realistic treatment option, NOT just a last resort! " List is for parent to parent support only. It is important to get medical advice from a professional keto team!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Glenna, I use those, too. Recently they were on sale at our Wal-Mart in a 6pk (not a 4pk) for 2.99 (50cents each). I stocked up. We like all the flavors... but chocolate mixed with cream and some Bickford almond or hazlenut is to die for (according to my worldly 7yr old!!)
