Protein powder/drinks

Hi Turi. It’s calories you need not protein. Meritene and Complan over the counter are good and your Fortisips or Ensures willl do the job and are free. Alternatively try making a smoothie with avocado, banana,  milk and peanut butter. Chuck in ice cream or fruit plus some honey to sweeten it. ( But not cheap supermarket honey which is Chinese syrup) 

Hi. Scandishakes made with whole milk are about 580 calories each. I had them on prescription via GP. 

Similar ingredients to Dani, ice cream, smooth peanut butter etc, but I used Carnation Breakfast Essentials powder, which I bought online, as a basic ingredient. It must’ve tasted lovely but sadly I couldn’t taste anything. 

Complan made with Gold Top Jersey milk is my go to

Thanks Dani,

Will try the smoothies.Luckily have a friend who has bees so good supply of Highland honey.

Thanks for the advice,

Turi

Thanks Blod.Will try making smoothies first but will contact GP about Scandishakes if that fails.I loathe having to involve GP as I have to wait 3 weeks for an appointment and the answer is usually NO !

The Scandishakes have alot of cals .

Thanks,

Turi

Thanks Peter

Turi

Take care with proper honey. Proper honey has enzymes that give it a “bite” so it may irritate till you have healed. 

Hi. Could you have a GP phone call? Or ask receptionist to pass a message? I’ve learned to not take No for an answer & to be very proactive.
