From Australian Better Homes and Gardens Diabetic Living. Easy to halve or double. Sustagen here in Australia is a powdered formula often used for the sick and weak hence high in all the nutrients (used a lot when the DM recovered from surgery) - it comes in vanilla or chocolate, you may wish to look for something similar.
Just a tip if you haven't tried it. Slice your bananas in 1/2 " rounds and freeze. When making shakes, after blending ingredients, add the frozen banana slices, and forget the ice! The result is a thicker, richer shake. I also use frozen strawberries, blueberries and peaches, just for shakes. I also find that the powdered dry skim milk, when mixed and cold whips up with more volume than the already prepared skim.

WOW, what a great shake! This is thick, frothy, chocolatey and yummy! Mmm, I just had half the recipe for breakfast and wish I had made the full recipe just for myself. :) YUM! I used only 10 g of cocoa powder and 10 g of carob powder instead of 40 g cocoa and that was plenty for me. Very chocolatey without any bitterness. I didnt want to have half a banana go to waste, so I threw in the full one. Also I used green tea ice cubes, which added a nice subtle earthyness. Ill definitely keep on making this shake, it is so satisfying and healthy. I cant wait to tell my sis all about it. :) THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Pat!
