<< I got it at GNC, and the flavor is a delicate chocolate. >> I’ve recently discovered, thanks to the low carb newsgroup, that you can also buy it online at a substantial discount. <A HREF="http://www.d-secure.com/dsn/">DSN – Discount Sport Nutrition</A> The site is slow and a little cumbersome (you have to hunt around for the Optimum Nutrition protein powder), but for the 1 lb. container, it’s just $12.95 compared to $19.99 at GNC. The 2 lb. container is just $22.95 compared to $35.99 at GNC. Plus, they have more flavors, though I’m hooked on the chocolate. Take care… Kathleen

Dear, Dear Louise!!! I just tried your recipe for the low carb shake, and let me tell you, I could be in love!! The only thing I added was 1 teaspoon of dry sugar-free jello (orange flavor) and it tasted exactly like that decadent thing that McDonalds sells in the summer. I am a thoroughly happy camper now! YUMMMMM! Oh- I didn’t have heavy cream, so I used 1/2 cup half and half. Also, because I added the jello (thanks to Barb. Agnew) I reduced the equals to 3 packets, and it was plenty sweet enough. For everyone else, I used the GNC protein powder (0 carbs) unsweetened. LIFE IS GOOD! Thanks a million, Louise!

Louise, I would like to put this recipe on a website that I am working on, for Polycystic Ovarian Women Who Are Low-Carbing (PCOLC) Would you mind giving me the site where you found this delicious recipe, so that I will give proper credit/get approval?? Thanks so much!! Karen p.s. the site is http://www.netcolony.com/members/pcolc/pcolc.html – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I found a recipe on a website for this low-carb shake.

Flax oil is kind of like olive oil, in that it’s one of the "good" fats. If I remember correctly, it’s rich in Omega 3-6-9. I blend up a tablespoon in every shake because I have a hard time keeping my calories up, especially my fat calories. That’s pretty important in low carbing, but I just don’t like my food drowned in mayo or butter. The flax oil lets me up my fat ratio without even knowing it, and in a good, healthy way. I bought a little bottle for $10 at GNC (I think it’s the GNC brand), and that should last a long time. I’m so glad you liked the shake, Barbara. I talk about that brand so much on this board, I’m bordering on obnoxious. But it’s truly made low carbing possible for me. Sometimes, I just get too busy to spend tons of time in the kitchen. Til now, every soy/milk/whey protein shake I’ve tried has tasted like watered down soil. And not eating just isn’t the way to go on this WOE. Take care… Kathleen <<Hey Kathleen! Went to GNC yesterday; this morning had a terrific chocolate shake for breakfast. Thanks so much for the tip; this stuff is truly delicious!! One question tho- what is flax oil, why do you use it, and where do you buy it?? Thanks again!! A much happier carber… Barbara>>
