Yup, that's the brand I buy (PC) as well since they go on sale a lot and I shop at No Frills a lot. I find them pretty much the same across the board (PC, Compliments, Food basic housebrands)
Kind of left out an important bit of information:
Can you eat raw eggs in a shake?
Adding raw egg to a protein shake increases its protein content, but you would be further ahead by eating a hard-boiled egg with the shake instead. To reduce your risk of Salmonella infection, select organic, free-range eggs and consume them while they are fresh.
About 1/1,000,000 eggs have salmonella. I think it's something like 10 lifetimes you'd need to live and eat eggs to come across an egg with salmonella. I don't have a direct reference as this was told to me in a presentation by the CFIA's head 'egg dude'.Supercooled wrote: ↑ Kind of left out an important bit of information:

Get the boulders in place before worrying about the pebbles. 
It's the new year resolution hysteria. People just want to make some semblance of an effort to be healthy; only i my case I should have made and stuck to one. Every time I take my shirt off, I see shamoo and tying my shoe lace has been proven difficult as of late.amz155 wrote: ↑ What's with all the salt/sugar hysteria on RFD?
I bet most people suckered into this fear could stand to improve their diets by increasing the amount of whole foods they consume. It's not that you're (general) eating too much salt and sugar. It's likely that you're eating too many processed foods. If most people just worried about improving on the basics (ie infographic below) they'd likely solve most of their diet 'problems'. Don't major in the minors

the same sugar in your tropicana OJ you're avoiding is the same sugar in the blended smoothie you're havingSupercooled wrote: ↑ Yup, that's the brand I buy (PC) as well since they go on sale a lot and I shop at No Frills a lot.

I did use almond milk but I read the sweetened ones are very high in sugar like Tropicana OJ are. I would like to strictly develop the tolerance for naturally sweetened from the fruit themselves like drinking coffee black. Salt and refined sugars are the new evil.
I'm eating way more bananas and fruits in general than I have ever in my life. I keep a bag of mixed nuts in my car and bag on me in case I get some hunger shakes.
I hate to sound like a person who's only cooking repertoire is boiling water but I'm eating all kinds of weird stuff like beans and it's wonderful. Adding suraccha seems to give a lot of dishes flavour I'm finding.
Stop smacking yourself in the head; it's clearly affecting your ability for critical thinking.toronto19850 wrote: ↑ the same sugar in your tropicana OJ you're avoiding is the same sugar in the blended smoothie you're having
When you say enhance do you mean for nutrition or taste?Supercooled wrote: ↑ I'm trying to drink more homemade fruit drinks as meals as part of my new diet plan but I find the frozen fruits you buy are not ripe so they don't have a lot of flavour. Before I used Tropicana's OJ but that's way too sweet and probably too much sugars. Do you just add water as the base and learn to enjoy its natural flavours?

By enhancing I mean make it more flavourful without the added sugars. If you've ever had those Vietnamese smoothies they add a lot of sugar base; as far as trying to replicate them at home goes, the sweetness level is night and day; then I learned the restaurants all use a type of sweetener base.Macx2mommy wrote: ↑ When you say enhance do you mean for nutrition or taste?
I use frozen fruits so m6 smoothies are more like slushes, and people love them.
Taste
- coconut water and mango juice (or whatever) coconut water has less sugar
- over ripe fruit, I have my own fruit that I forget to eat on time, but cut up and frozen it’s great to mix with smoothies, and saves some money. I cut it in chunks and throw it on a cookie sheet to freeze, from over ripe bananas, mangos, sad looking berries, etc.
- a small splash of vanilla acts as a flavour enhancer and makes things sweeter without sugar
- flavoured yougurt
Nutrition
- protein powder
- veggies, our smoothing are about 1/2 veggies any thing we have as i have a good blender
- flax seed, or chia seed, if you eat the chia sit a little bi, it acts as a thickener too
Carton of pasturized egg whites, though I haven’t done this but it would work
If you get pure coconut water there's no added sugars or sweeteners, whether canned or tetra packed, Grace or any other brand. You can check the ingredients list (not the Nutrition box) to be sure.Supercooled wrote: ↑ By enhancing I mean make it more flavourful without the added sugars.

As far as coconut water, all the tubular cartons they sell in the store all tastes just like funny water. Inherently the juice of a coconut aren't very flavourful either. The stuff in cans like Grace, there's got to be sugars and artificial sweeteners in there.
Why does Grace 100% Pure Coconut Water have sugar in its nutrition information?
The sugar on the Grace 100% Pure Coconut Water nutrition facts label is the naturally occurring sugar that all coconuts contain. We do not add any sugar. The coconut is cut open, the water is flash pasteurized and packaged for your consumption. It’s that simple! Nothing added, no preservatives and nothing taken away for the best tasting coconut water.
