Wake Up Shake

This is a shake that has become part of my morning ritual. I most often use a can of sugar free Red Bull, but you can use something else if you don't want to use Red Bull. In a blender combine: 1 Sugar Free Red Bull 2 cups ice 2 Tbl spoons sugar free Rasberry flavor 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder Blend until liquified and enjoy. This get my day started with a little jolt and 23 grams of protein. As I run at 5:00 in the morning and then hit the gym, I usually have this around 7:00 am and it does the job until my mid-morning snack around 10:00.

Ken, It sounds good, I will have to try it!! Marilyn, the Bearlady

Thanks Ken. Boy, with the sound of your workout, you must be rippin\\\' by now! When are we going to see the new you??? By the way, what\\\'s Red Bull??? Reenie

Hey Ken, What's the sugar free rasberry flavor? Is it a syrup? I'm in need of something different. Connie

Red Bull is a popular energy drink that is very lightly carbonated, but what little is there is gone in the blending process. And yes Connie, it is a syrup and is available in most coffee sections of your grocery store. My store sells the same brand most coffee shops use and has a huge selection of sugar free flavors. I also have chocolate that I mix with sugar free Chai tea. I'm actully investigating opening a business called Protein Plus. I found a building that housed a pizza place and would have room to add a drive-in. My intent is to serve protein products for WLS, South Beach, and Adkins folks but also have regular coffee product too. Even in a small market I believe there are enough people on high protein diets that I could have a decent business. I would also include some limited food items all for those on the go. Looking into the costs now, and trying to formulat a business plan to work for a SBA loan.
