Your favorite protein coffees and shakes

I finally tried it with heavy cream and half and half... Thick and thick! Gotta cut it with water.

My protien coffee consits of:
1. 2 scoops Vanilla protien powder (haven't settled on one I like. I like one that disolves and has lots of vits.)
2. 8 oz Lactose free milk. (There is a store in Texas called H-E-B and they make their own brand of lactose free milk that has 12 grams of protein per serving, called mootopia)
3. a splash of sugar free caramel syrup (wal-mart)
4. 1 tablespoon of Folgers instant decaffeinated coffee
Blend in a blender for best results.

This is a page from a final paper I did for my nutrition class.  We were to develop menus for someone with medical dietary issues.  I used my DS!  kcal=kilocalories - it's just the scientific name for what we generally call calories. Theinstructions may seem weird, but the instructor wanted every step written out to fine detail.
