LAUREL'S LOUNGE

For some of you I am sure this has been one of the difficult things to give up.  Not because you are an alcoholic, but drinking alcohol is a very social activity.  Alcohol is basically empty calories so proceed with caution.  Here are some fun recipes from Laurel.  I call them Protinis. Using ITG protein drinks...and most drinks contain 15 grams of protein!   Please submit any recipes that you have made with the ITG products.  If we publish them, of course, we have to try it first .... you will receive a free box of ITG protein.  Submit to laurel@itgdiet.com    More to come!

Please note this is only once you have been through all 3 steps of the plan.  Your Success Step only!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Mudslide - Enjoy this classic frozen or on the rocks!

Greyhound and Salty Dog -The ITG Grapefruit Drink makes a refreshing summer cocktail! 

Screwdriver with a Twist - This original drink which is a simple mixture of vodka and orange juice reportedly gets its name from the original tool used to stir the drink a screwdriver. You'll get equally good results using a spoon!  The screwdriver is a simple but refreshing cocktail made by combining ITG Pineapple Orange Fruit Drink and vodka over ice.

Yellow Bird - A favorite Beach Bar Drink. Similar to a Screwdriver, the Yellow Bird replaces the vodka with two types of rum. To make things a bit more interesting add a little lime juice or a splash of Banana Liqueur

Bloody Mary - In the United States, the Bloody Mary is a common "Hair of the dog" drink, erroneously reputed to cure hangovers.  Its reputation as a restorative beverage contributes to the popularity of the Bloody Mary in the morning and early afternoon, especially with brunch.

Hot Peppermint Kiss - When the weather gets cooler, many people often look for ways to warm up from the inside out.  Take the chill off with a hot, refreshing Hot Chocolate Peppermint beverage.

The Buttercup - Similar to the Hot Peppermint Kiss, use Buttershots Liqueur instead of Peppermint Schnapps.

Holiday Egg Nog - Enjoy a little holiday cheer without all of the guilt.  This tasty treat is made with ITG Very Vanilla Shake/Pudding and can be made with a variety of spirits.
