The Banana-Carob Smoothie in the EFI Cookbook is awesome!! If you can't find the carob powder (I live in Mississippi and there are not many places that carry it here) try about 1/2 a tbsp. of cocoa powder. The cocoa powder doesn't bother my belly, just the chocolate bars. This is a good sweet smoothie! There are some recipes for smoothies in the diet/recipes section of the website. A favorite of mine is: 1/2 cup of fruit cocktail, 1/2 cup of Dole tropical blend, 1/2-1 cup of rice milk, and some ice cubes for consistency. One more thing is the Chai Tea in the EFI Cookbook. All it is: 1 tbsp. fennel seeds, 1 tbsp cardamom seeds (not in pod) 2 cinnamon sticks broken into small pieces, and 1 tbsp. of cloves. Mix these well. Get any kind of rice/almond/soy milk you like (i like vanilla almond) and boil one cup with 1 tbsp of the chai spices and let it boil for a minute then let it steep for 3-5 minutes. Strain the spices out of the milk and put about a tbsp of honey in it! It is so good and good for the tummy with a lot of fiber. It's also a good after dinner dessert replacement. Kind of gets you into the sleep mode. Very calming. I hope this helps!
Question for you: When you do have a BM, is it solid or not? I have been C for the last couple of days, and now, today I had a BM but every time I go to tinkle, more and more comes out little by little. Would you consider this D or have you ever experienced this?
