WONDERFUL Protein Drink

I like many others have found it hard to find a protein drink that I can actually say I like---until last night.  I had read on the RNY board about  "Pam's Protein Chai Tea" drink so I made a batch up.  I absolutely love it.  You cannot tell there is protein in it at all and each 8 oz cup of this hot drink is 27 gms of protein.  Here it is---pam said she used Body Fortress protein which is 26 gm per scoop so any protein with that amount would equal the same 27 gms per serving.

I could drink this even if I did not want the protein. 

Enjoy---Terry

Protein Hot Chai Mix
6 scoops vanilla protein powder 1.5 cups non-fat powdered milk 3/4 cup instant unsweet tea mix 3/4 cup Splenda 1T. chai spice mix (or use half cinnamon and half ground ginger) 1t. ground cloves 1t. cardamon (original recipe calls for this, but I don't have any, so skipped it)
Mix all dry ingredients in bowl until well blended.  Add 1/2 cup of mixture to mug and add either splash of cold milk or water -- stir to create smooth paste (so you don't get lumpy protein powder).  Add 8oz ho****er and mix well.  You can top with Light Redi Whip and a sprinkle of chai spice or drink it naked.  (The drink is naked, not you.)
Recipe makes 7 half-cup servings. Calculation below is without the "splash of milk" when you're mixing the tea.  If you use RediWhip -- it adds about 20 calories.

I used 1 t. cinnamon and 1 t. ginger in mine instead o chai mix and did not use the cardamon.

Thanks Terry!  I may have to give this a try.

I have been drinking the chocolate Oh Yeah! from Bariatric Eating.  I really like that if it is icy cold. 

Thanks Terry. Usually, I drank the AchievOne drinks. They recently switched from glass bottles to juicy containers. Quite honestly, it's more like a protein drink now and I DON'T mean that in a good way. My drink of choice now is also one I make up. It's a mocha java one:

I start with the 5 lb container of ChocolateWhey Protein powder. I dump it in a very large bowl. I add one large container of sugar-free swiss Miss hot cocoa mix, 1 large jar of decaf instant coffee, 1 small box of powder milk. I mix all of this well and put in containers. As I need more, I put about 8 cups of mix in a picture and add 3-4 cups of COLD water. I mix it well and pour it into an empty gallon milk jug. I pour skim milk into this to dilute it...I add to ~1/2 the jug, cap mix..add until full, cap, mix. one gallon last me about 3 days. I hadn't sat down and figured out how much protein I'm getting...but much more than I would be otherwise. how's that? LOL! For travel, I added some extra powder milk to some of the mix so that I can just mix it with water while we're at Mayo so I don't have to worry about buying any milk this time around.

No..I don't like it as well as I did the old AchievOne's...but it is ALOT cheaper! LOL!

Thanks, Terry!  I love Chai Tea and haven't had any since my surgery, so this sounds like a treat that is actually good for us too.   Yeah!
