DUH moment (protein shakes)

OKAY let me start by saying I love CLICK protein shakes. I do not however like the price tag or the fact that I have to order online. I've probably bought from them 5 or 6 times since surgery.

For whatever reason I've had an AHA moment and realize that my standard chocolate protein powder (that I can buy everywhere - Harris Teeter, Wal-Mart, the pharmacy etc.) with a little instant coffee (reg or Decaf) plus some splenda - tastes like the real thing. It also opens up the flavor possibilities and caffeine content more than ever.

This afternoon I'm sipping an iced coffee made from the following:
                 Chocolate Protein Powder
                  Instant Coffee (about a TBSP)
                  2 Splenda packets
                  3 TBSP of NF Powdered milk
                  5 or 6 ice cubes

I really think this has blended up better than the click. It seems like my Click had been chunky here lately. Yummy!! Enjoy and let me know what flavor combinations you guys come up with.

Iris - Like you, I really enjoy Click and never even thought about concocting my own.  I'll have to try this especially with your endorsement.  I do have 3 canisters of it in my pantry, so it may be a while...  I love cold coffee/chocolate drinks; they are definitely my favorite shakes now as far as protein goes.
