Does anyone have a good homemade recipe for protein shakes?

Question

I have some serious food allergies, the worst being corn. Nowdays it is in everything, the same way peanuts used to be, so to supplement workouts I have to find a good homemade way of making a protein shake that is also low in carbs. Any thoughts folks?

perhaps I should clarify, the purpose is not weight loss. I know how to clarify that situation. The intent is to supplement my workouts. Something I can use as an add on to my workouts to assist my muscles in rebuilding post workout. I can NOT take most mass produced pills etc as they ALL have corn in some form as their base. Being anaphlactic to corn means I cna NOT take most pills or premade supplements unless I want to risk death. Therefore I need a home made recipe for protein shakes to supplement my workouts. Hopefully this clarifies what I am seeking.

Answer 1

There are a couple protien powders that are supposed to be corn-free. They are rice based.

You may find the following site handy:

It has a list of foods that are corn-free and is updated monthly. The last update is located at:

You should be able to use almost any shake recipe and use the ingredients from the list. Do make sure to read your ingredients though as sometimes manufacturers change their formulas without warning.

From the list:
"MLO Rice Protein Powder (GF)
Nutiva Hemp Protein Powder CC 11/06 (slight possible cross-contamination issue)
Vegan Rice Protein Powder allergygrocer.com (GF)"

Hot Hot-Cakes! Recipe: 1 cup (140 grams) all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons (7 grams) baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons (28 grams) granulated white sugar 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 cup (240 ml) milk 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, melted Plus extra melted butter for greasing the pan. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, all at once, and stir or whisk just until combined. The batter should have some small lumps. Make sure you do not over mix the batter or the pancakes will be tough. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium high heat until a few sprinkles of water dropped on the pan or griddle splatter. Using a pastry brush, brush the pan with a little melted butter. Using a small ladle or scoop, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the pan, spacing the pancakes a few inches from each other. When the bottoms of the pancakes are brown and bubbles start to appear on the top surfaces of the pancakes (2-3 minutes), turn over. Cook until lightly browned (about 1-2 minutes). Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan with melted butter between batches. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup. Makes about 8 - 3-inch (7.5 cm) pancakes. Serves 3-4 people. Another: The above is REAL pancakes. Aunt Jemima "Just add water" is pretty darn good. Add water, stir, fry, eat.
