Hi I a new here and very excited about getting started. I had a question regarding nut butter in the ultrashake. If I prefer organic peanut butter, is that an acceptable substitute?
Thanks for your help!

Peanuts and peanut butter are among the foods to avoid in the UltraSimple Diet and in Phase I of Ultrametabolism. Once you've finished the Ultrasimple Diet (or Phase I, if you decide to do that) you can try adding peanuts back into your diet.
I've had a few of chocolate almond banana shakes. Those are very good. They were made with almond butter. Once I start eating peanuts again, I may try making a similar shake with peanut butter. It sounds tasty.

Frances,
I have the receipe in the UM book for the Nut Butter Shake. What type and how much chocolate do you add to make it a chocolate almond banana shake? It sounds so yummy. I adapted the Berriest Smoothie for my daughter and make it with just strawberries. It's a way to get her to have a breakfast that she likes (15 and doesn't like to eat breakfast).

I'm sorry I'm so slow in replying. I used the packaged meals for the first two weeks. I had the chocolate almond banana shake as part of that. I'm planning to try to make one myself this week. The shake was dark brown. It looked more like dark chocolate than chocolate milk. I know they used cocoa but I'm not sure how much. I'm going to add it a teaspoon at a time.

I made a Nut Butter Shake and used a portion of an 85% cocoa bar for the chocolate. It took a little bit of the edge off and I had some nice bits of chocolate too. Let me know how it goes.
