Sticking to the Basics - Thursday

The one in Warrington, on 611 - pretty sure that the one on 33 had them too

Today's plan:

B: hot chocolate Max Protein
S: cheddar cheese
L: pork tenderloin, green beans
S: hard-boiled egg with hummus
D: chili with a dollop of Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream)
S: ricotta with pumpkin

Have a great day, everyone!

tell me about your hot chocolate max protein.. can you do it with any choc protein?

I'm not sure if it would work with any protein. I tried it with Chocolate Matrix 5.0 and it was an epic fail.

What I do is put a scoop of protein in a mug, then turn on the kettle. When the water starts to "sing", then I turn it off and pour.  I stir very very well with a fork, add a splash of milk or FF half and half, and enjoy. I love it.  It's very important to not use boiling water, as that will curdle the protein.  The ho****er dispenser at my office also works, and I think the temp on that is 170 or 180 degrees F.

Hope this helps!

I'm going to try it! Thanks.. gotta be better than dumping on swiss miss

Good luck with it! I have dumped too many times on sugar alcohols for me to trust any of them at all. No diet swiss miss in my house!

Late, seems par for course . . .

B: Inspire Protein Drink
S: DD Coffee
L: baked chicken,salad, and asparagus plus 1 bite of iced chocolate brownie with whipped cream and chocolate and caramel sauce (at a Women in Business luncheon)
S: dried edamame
D: shrimp ****tail
S: tea

Lisa, I do a hot chocolate protein too sometimes.  I use my Body Fortress chocolate and here is my method . . .

I use a 20 oz cup . . .   I like a lot to drink

Mix chocolate protein into cup filled 1/3 full of cold/tap water stirring with folk til smooth.  In meantime put tea kettle on.  When it starts to whistle, fill remaining cup but leave a little room.  Stir with fork.  Add a little fat free half and half.  Sometimes I want it more chocolatety and I add a tbsp or two of SF Hershey's syrup --- but I don't dump.
