This is a very *light*
tasting shake. When made with the unflavored yogurt, it is particularly
preferred by people undergoing chemo who cannot tolerate sweet
foods.
Special
notes:
- Either
use calcium-fortified soymilk or calcium-fortified OJ concentrate,
not both. The body can only absorb 500-600 mg calcium from one
meal.
- Prostate
cancer patients - read my FAQs regarding the amount of calcium
in your diet.
- If
more protein is needed, consider adding soy protein powder,
whey protein powder, or dried skim milk powder.
