Michelle Makes Spectacular Shakes!


Hi, this is Sean. In preparation for Michelle's Wednesday surgery, I helped her clean house and went food shopping today. Armed with a book humorously titled "Dinner through a Straw" we bought everything required for a healthy and hearty liquid diet. This includes frozen fruit and vegetables, protein powder, ginger ale, and so on.

When we had put everything away, we decided to test our mixocological skillz by trying to blend a liquid recipe. We quickly realized that we had forgotten to get so many things that we couldn't even do a complete recipe from the recipe book. So we decided to improvise. We came up with a tasty beverage that we call "Michelle's Malty Maxillacious Mocha" (Note: The Maxillary is the technical word for the upper jaw.)

"Michelle's Malty Maxillacious Mocha"
About a cup and a half of 2 percent milk
Half a dozen ice cubes
1 packet of Jello Singles instant vanilla pudding
Heaping tablespoon or two of Ovaltine Chocolate Malt
1 scoop of 100% Whey Protein (vanilla or chocolate - whatever you have laying around)

Blend on high for a minute and BAM! You have a hell of a good chocolate shake. Perfect for sipping through a straw while recovering from orthognathic surgery. You could probably throw in a few bananas or strawberries to fruiten it up a bit, or a dash of instant coffee for that cappuccino flavor, but start with the basic - I promise it won't disappoint!

Michelle makes a major faux paus by choosing a red over a white wine glass. Don't quit your day job to become a Sommelier, Michelle!
