Couple of protein drink questions
Hi,
I have seen this over and over, but don't really understand what it is:
Protein hot cocoa and Protein coffee.
What are these?? I love hot cocoa and coffee so I'm curious.
Thanks in advance,
God Bless,

Add scoop of protein to mug
Add splash of cold water or milk
Mix like crazy --- it'll be a thick paste with no lumps
Add a bit of ho****er --- mix like crazy
Add a bit more ho****er... mix... more water.... mix. .... you get the point.
So the protein hot cocoa can be just chocolate protein powder and water... or you can add a package of Diet Swiss Miss cocoa packet at the same time as the chocolate protein powder, then add the water.
Protein coffee... I usually use vanilla protein powder (but chocolate works for a mocha flavor). I also start with milk instead of water to mix the paste. Then add coffee slowly while mixing.

I drink my protein powders warm about 90% of the time.
What I do (and remember, I have the DS and NEED fat, so adjust according to YOUR WLS needs): I nuke about 1/2c of half & half for 40 seconds -- no more -- or it gets too hot. I add in a scoop of (Champion Whey) chocolate or (IDS) vanilla-cinnamon protein powder, and use a battery operated hand whisk to mix it all together, then I add in tea kettle ho****er to the chocolate or french-pressed coffee to the vanilla cinnamon. These liquids can be warm-to-hot, but not boiling, or you will get thick & nasty clumps.
I also like (Champion Whey) Moccachino warm, and Click brand (if you like caffeine, this is a good one!).
I also add in Benefiber when I mix up the protein powder, because I need the extra fiber.
