Note
CONCERNING SHAKES, SMOOTHIES, FRAPPAS, AND THIN THICKS, page 407 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook:
"Sweet, creamy drinks are a big part of a Trim Healthy Mama’s life. We’ve got you well covered here, with lots of different flavors and varieties, so there’s no chance of your getting bored. Instead of piling on the pounds, these thick and creamy drinks will help strip the weight off of you—woo hoo! Unless otherwise noted, they can be used as a breakfast, a snack, or even as a quick lunch for on-the-go days. If you are a Mama on a very tight budget and cannot afford the whey protein or any of the other special ingredients, try 1% cottage cheese or plain 0% Greek yogurt in your creamy drinks. Those two options cream the drinks up nicely and offer protein, which is a must for all our shakes, smoothies, and frappas. You can always add a tablespoon or two of heavy cream for more S-style indulgence. And please don’t fret about the collagen, gelatin, or lecithin, either. In most of the recipes (Thin Thicks excluded) they are optional, and if you can’t afford them, you’re still fine. Remember, you will do THM your own way, and for some that means limiting the use of special ingredients."

Special Note for our Turtles and Allergen-free Mamas:
Those with elevated prolactin levels can omit the whey protein and use 1 to 2 scoops Integral Collagen instead. (Read the “Heads Up: Turtle Losers!” chapter in Trim Healthy Mama Plan for more about why elevated prolactin levels and whey protein are sometimes not compatible.) Allergen-free Mamas who cannot even tolerate whey protein (it is lactose free, so many do fine with it) can stick to the collagen and leave out any cottage cheese.
