Peanuts & Prunes: My First RoboShake

This week I tried my first RoboShake. I wanted to start off simple, so I set the algorithm to only allow two ingredients. Nutritionally, the best shake that it could come up with consisted of 2.4 cups of prunes and 1 cup of peanuts.

Now, this shake isn't perfect. It's missing a handful of vitamins altogether, and deficient of even more. For this reason, I can't recommend drinking it for every meal.

However, it has a near-perfect balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. I made a quarter recipe for lunch, and it kept me satisfied all the way until dinner. I didn't have any snack cravings like I usually do. This makes it a great way to quickly replace a single meal.

As far as the taste, it's vaguely similar to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If you make it, I'd highly recommend blending it with ice. The colder it is, the easier it is to get down.

And no, I didn't experience any of the laxative effects normally associated with prunes!

Here's the full recipe:
