After winter the hubs and I both have our winter weight that we are looking to melt away. I also have some hormonal issues as well as food allergies that make dieting a little tricky. I did read "The Hormone Reset Diet" by Sara Gottfried.

It was a good read. A lot of insight into 7 hormones that can really mess with your energy levels and weight loss. I wanted to try it because of my history with out of whack hormones. The hubs wanted to try it because Dr. Sara states on the cover that you can lose 15 pounds in 21 days.
The book takes you through the 7 stages of reset for each hormone, and a big part of the diet are protein shakes. But you cannot have whey or grains on the diet so my search for an acceptable, yummy, and less expensive option was on. Dr. Sara sells a shake mix on her website, but its almost $70 for 30 servings. Of course I wanted to find a more frugal deal!
After much research the best item I could find was cheapest on Amazon: Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Raw Vegan Protein. It comes in Natural, Vanilla, or Chocolate. It is sweetened with Stevia and is very high in protein and low carb. I love that it is so easy to make and to add other items to. Tastes yummy too! It currently costs $41.61 for a carton that has about 40 servings. It's the frugal choice!

The following are a few of our favorite recipes. Please note that on the later stages of the diet you cannot have fruit until you add it back in at a later time. The mix still tastes yummy mixed blended with some nut milk and some ice.
PB Banana
Serves 2
2 scoops Warrior Blend Vanilla
2 T. natural peanut butter (no sugar)
20 ounces almond or cashew milk (see my post on how to make homemade nut milks)
1 frozen banana (peeled of course)
1 T. chia seeds (optional)
Blend until smooth, in a Vitamix about 30 seconds.
Strawberry Flax
Serves 2
2 Scoops Warrior Blend Vanilla
1/2 c. frozen strawberries
20 ounces almond or cashew milk
1 frozen banana
1 T. golden flax seeds
Blend until smooth, in a Vitamix about 30 seconds.
Thank you for this. I am starting this program in 2 days and needed a shake that I could buy locally and for a little less.
