Hi there...
It's good that you're planning ahead...
First off, the six meals is a VERY important part of BFL. You might be getting a bit put off by the word "meals". I like what Hussman said about the 'meals':
Quote:
The core of the Nutrition-for-LIFE aspect of this program is to eat 6 limited, high quality meals a day. As Bill says, "A meal doesn't mean you have Mom lay out a napkin, and put a fancy plate of food out there. A meal simply means a portion of protein and a portion of carbohydrate. So a meal for me may mean a protein drink and a piece of fruit." If your goal is fat loss, remember: frequent, but limited (particularly in terms of refined carbohydrates).
One of the things you'll hear at L&S and here is how important PLANNING AHEAD is. Check Susanje's post on the BFL Recipes thread to see how she cooks on Sunday to make meals for the work-week. I don't do as much as she does, but I DO cook up a bunch of chicken breasts (using "Rich's Mom's recipe for perfect chicken breasts" also on the recipes thread) on Sundays and put 'em in a gallon Ziploc bag for the week. Check out the L&S Cooking Library as well.
Now, as far as a smoothie recipe, you can use cottage cheese as a protein base and yogurt or fruit as a carb and make a smoothie. The only thing about using cottage cheese is that it takes like a cup to equal a portion of protein - so that will be a pretty thick smoothie. Have you tried
www.supplementscanada.com (I think that's the website). You don't need to use Myoplex but a high quality protein powder would be a good thing. I recommend MetRx's Protein Plus Vanilla Creme Protein Powder - it tastes excellent and makes a great base for smoothies.
Hope that helps!
