Looking for a hot protein drink
Hello everyone,
I have been having the same "stuff" for a while now. Surgery was 12/12/05 and have lost about 85 lbs since surgery.
I drink Jay Robb Vanilla whey protein for breakfast and occ as a snack if I haven't gotten enough protein.
Since its getting colder in the AM here is Mass I am looking for something I can drink on the way to work (I have a 45 min cummute) I started drinking Italian cappaccino from General Foods but the first ingredient is SUGAR!! and no protein in it!! (but tastes good-too good!)
Anyone know of something like a warm maybe coffee or cocoa drink that has some protein??
Thanks!!!!
Cheryl
Cheryl, I just stumbled over here from the over fifty forum and can answer this question for you!
Matrix perfect chocolate. You have to make it carefully! first you mix a scoop with cool water (just a bit to get it liquified) then slowly add hot (not boiling) water to it. stir and sip! I add also a scoop of Swiss Miss no added sugar to it OR a scoop of Big Train low carb chai tea mix and have it that way. I have it every morning and it is a great start to the day. I get mine at Susan Maria's site.
Good luck!
I've heard things about these drinks.. and it looks like they got 15g of protein to boot..

Hi Cheryl,
The one thing that I have not grown tired of is fat free milk, sugar free Nestle's Quik and AnyWhey protein powder. 1 scoop of protein powder has 17 grams of protein, 16oz of milk has 16 grams of protein and the Quick has 1-2 grams of protein. I love this mix and I have been drinking for 9 months now. I heat the milk in the microwave for 3 minutes then add the Quik and protein powder. I never have a problem with lumps or weird taste. The portein powder has no flavor. Enjoy!
This is how i get my morning protein. I love milk, so I warm up 8oz of skimmed milk in the micro. then add instant coffee (normally tasters choice vanilla or hazelnut flavor) and I have a home made non fat latte. That's 9gr of protein, i then follow it by having a protein bar for another 19-20grams. This has worked for me every morning since I was 2 months out and I never get sick of it. Had the surgery Dec. 16, 05 and am 93lb down with another 10 to go. I live in Florida, but still need my hot drink in the morning.
