YASS. Because why TF not??? 👏👏👏 

Is it sitting on your food scale? Did you measure everything? That’s what I do when I want a “school-night cocktail.” 

Yeah I weigh pretty much everything these days. 234 calories.  

Well, if you're going to drink your calories, this tops beer! Happy 4th, John! 

Bananas, that's true for sure. I know the alcohol can increase my LDL too so can't make it a regular thing. And I'm taking a fiber supplement with each meal to help continue to lower cholesterol. I added 10 g of soluble fiber to this drink and 10 g to lunch with the beer plus a couple slices of whole grain bread, and a Dr Pragers California burger to lunch. So I didn't drink quite all of my calories and I still stuck to a deficit keeping my calories under 2000 by a few hundred.  

Fiber in booze? That’s brilliant. I’ve figured out how to make a pretty mean lo-cal margarita using EAA’s and a hydrator pack. We should all do a recipe swap😂. 

Oh! I thought you were just having a liquid dinner. I hear you on the LDL -- I'm getting my second Lipid panel drawn in a week, and I'm aiming for 70 (it was 130, then I lowered it to 105 about 4 weeks ago). Did adding the fiber supplement to the Bloody Mary make it thicker? Great job on keeping your calories low for the day! 

I take the fiber supplement on the side in gummy form but the tomato juice has 2 g of fiber in it and the celery stick has some too. If I were to add anything I might consider powdered chia seeds. That would certainly thicken it though. 2 tablespoons would add about 5 g but that might change the drink a lot. Easier to just take 2 fiber gummies.
