Atkin shakes do not contain any gluten (wheat, rye or barley). They do, however, contain cross-contamination of gluten from their factory. Therefore, they are not labeled gluten free. This led me to develop a gluten free atkins shake recipe that is also dairy and soy-free. I hope you find it helpful. I included the carb ccount on the right side of each ingredient that contains carbs. Atkins shakes cost $7.89 per 4 count. This recipe contains 2.25 carbs. Atkins vanilla shake contains 1 carb and the chocolate, 2 carbs. So, you’ll definitely save money making your own, but you obviously will consume more carbs. They are both 11 ounces.
This recipe is also free of carrageenan and artificial flavoring, which Atkins shakes contain. The below recipe is vanilla and pumpkin-spiced flavored. You can flavor it as you see fit. Just be sure to add carbs where appropriate such as 2 grams for 1 Tablespoon of cocoa powder, which is not allowed during the induction phase. As is, this recipe is allowed during the induction phase as well as throughout the diet.
Note: Many sugar-free substitutescontain carbohydrates. I use stevia, which is much healthier than cancer causing artificial sweeteners. Plus the variety I use does not any carbs at all.
Important: A high protein diet such as the Atkins Diet causes a diuretic effect on the body. While you lose water, you are also losing important minerals such as calcium. If you are not consuming dairy on the Atkins diet, be sure to take calcium supplements.* You can lose about 1.75 milligrams of calcium through water loss for each gram of animal protein ingested.

Tips
Variations:
Replace one egg with half an avocado and use almond extract.
Replace the spices and vanilla with cocoa powder. You may wish to add about 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla. It's up to you.Salmonella Concerns:Raw eggs may contain bacteria called Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) . It can cause intestinal infections., especially in the young, elderly and those that are immune compromised.If you are concerned aboutSalmonella, make the shake the alternative way, but expect a slightly different consistency:
Substitute the water and ice for 1 cup water; and boil it in a small saucepan.
Combine oil and xanthan gum in a small container. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and stevia, whisk; and set aside.
Whisk eggs in a separate bowl and whisk in the oil mixture.
Lower saucepan to low. Slowly pour in the entire cup of boiling water a little at a time, while whisking constantly. Return egg mixture back to saucepan.
Return the mixture back to the saucepan and whisk constantly over low heat for about 2 minutes. Whisk in vanilla and refrigerate until chilled. (You can make a huge batch this way and have it ready for breakfast or dessert.)
