Anti- Antibiotics Smoothie for a sore throat and Measuring Cups

I found a way around having a smoothie when you aren't supposed to have milk for 2 hours before and 2 hours after a pill.

I went to Smart and Final and bought a shelf stable one quart vanilla flavored soy milk carton for under $2.

At Sprouts, I found several vegan protein powders but the cheapest was $6.99 in the bins!  They even had all the nutrients on a label, I just snapped a photo of it!


  • So I first made a smoothie with a banana, 1/3 c of the protein powder and added Gatorade as a liquid. I don't recommend that  choice!
  • Next day I tried the soymilk, 1 Cup  (not chilled, not so tasty),  1/3 c soy protein powder, banana, 1 piece of cantaloupe, 1 piece of  pineapple, 1 piece of honeydew melon.  ((Tolerable)
  • Third day soy milk, chilled,  soy protein powder,  1 T Five Alive,  1T Fruit flavored Omega Blendz , 2 drops coconut flavoring  1/3 c  coconut-pineapple juice from Sprouts.  Color was not appetizing... maybe I should have added blueberries.
At Target,  I found the neatest  4 pack of nested "food prep" cups with measuring lines.  They are made out of silicone and you can squeeze them to pour the ingredients out.  The set cost about $5 and I might go back and buy several for xmas presents. I love them!!!  It makes measuring  small amounts for your smoothie so easy!
