Calories and protein

Dear Lilian

In my smoothies I use fortisip, peanut butter and sometimes I add almonds and / or pistachios. Nuts are a great source of protein. My dietician also gave me some calogen extra shots. 

I hope this helps. 

All the best.

You can buy smooth peanut, almond, cashew butters

I bought almond powder and I used my food blender to crush the pistachios. I also add crème fraîche whenever I can to savoury dishes. 

 Durhamlady Peanut butter, banana and avocado made with full fat milk is a good one. You can get a thousand calories into one shake. 

I like the sound of that one Dani but never tried avocado before xx

It’s high in vegetable fat which is good. You’ll lose the taste completely with the peanut butter and banana so it doesn’t matter what it tastes like. If you are going to try it blend everything but the peanut butter then add little bits at a time or you’ll end up with a sticky mess at the bottom of the blender. 
You can substitute full fat vanilla ice cream for the milk 

Hi Lillian avocados were a staple part of my recovery. You’ll get there. Plus any nut butters are good I used almond butter as well as peanut butter.
