Hi everybody!

I have a little time off this summer, and I'd like to complete something from my bucket list.  I've always wanted to do a week long fast.  My thyroid makes it impossible to do a full fast without harming my health (I have hypothyroidism), and I've JUST gotten the correct amount of meds.  I'm not willing to mess with that.  But I figure a liquid fast with full proteins and vitamins and such would be doable.  Just no solid food, no chewing. 

I'd like to do something with the yogurt I've been making.  Yogurt shakes with protein powder.  However, I can't have food like tofu because it's bad for someone with hypothyroidism ... a lot of protein shakes are out because the powders are made with soy.  Soy interacts with the medication in a bad way.

Any suggestions?  Any recipes?  I don't want to just go with loads of sugar ....  I'd like to get a full complement of vitamins. (and yes, I'm doing some research and such, and yes I have a plan, but I also know the collected wisdom of the folks here)

Thanks for your help!
