Di's Basic Shake & Variations

Recipe By :"Diana "

1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup cold water
2 scoops soy protein Isolate -- or whey any flavor
psyllium husks 1 tsp -- (1 to 2)
optional - adding fiber but not carbs here
12 ice cubes -- (12 to 15)

The real trick to keeping the protein shakes low carb is to use heavy cream and water instead of milk. Whirl the whole thing up in the blender. (Pulse works best for crunching up the ice cubes.) The end result will have a consistency like a Wendy's Frosty. Omit the ice cubes, and you can just drink it.
