YUM!

Don't know why I didn't think of this sooner in my WLS career ....

I found Oregon Sugar Free Chai Tea mix at Cub and I made a Whipped Vanilla Lean Dessert Protein Shake and mixed the chai mix with it - YUM!  A Chai Latte with 20g of protein.

Just wanted to share!

Yes I use that all the time to make my chai protein shakes as well its very yummy.

Now that does sound yummy... Thanks for sharing!!

That sounds so good.  Another warm drink to try on these cold MN days.
Thanks for sharing

YUM INDEED!

How do you heat it up,before or after you add the protein mix ?.

Actually - i heated up the chai mix - then added my protein stuff (mixed 1 scoop with 8oz water) - wasn't hot enough so I nuked it in the microwave again - ended up with 16oz chai latte.

 

What kind of protein powder do you use? I still can't find one I like enough to drink but I am always open to trying new brands. Thanks.

I use Lean Dessert (made by BSN).  I like the vanilla, chocolate fudge, and cinnamon roll.  I order either from supplement warehouse.com or vitacost.com - good deals on it - about 1/2 price of GNC.

Also - i have learned the sugar-free coffee syrups (also ordered from supplement warehouse) can really help add flavor to the shakes.

I usually mix the protein shakes with more water than it says on the package  - I hate the thickness that makes it feel like you are drinking pudding or cake batter. So package says 4-6 oz water - I usually do 8oz and then mix in syrup and my coffee and have either a hot or cold latte.

also found these two blogs that gives good ideas on shakes too:
