What is your protein coffee recipe? I'm looking for new ways to avoid my dreaded protein shake, maybe if I switch it up I'll be happier.

Here you go.  : )

 

Protein Coffee
brew a pot of your favorite coffee - we like chocolate raspberry (you can also brew chai tea and use in place of coffee)

In a 20 oz blender bottle with wire ball, add 2 oz of heavy whipping cream and 2 oz of cool water, or 4 oz of half & half, a packet of Truvia or Splenda, a couple of dashes of cinnamon, and a heaping scoop of Syntrax Nectar vanilla protein powder.
Shake about 5 seconds to blend
Pour the protein slurry into a huge mug and fill to the top with coffee
Sir to blend and enjoy! 

If you are watching your fat grams, substitute unsweetened soy or skim milk.

Always add hot liquid to cold protein slurry to keep the protein from clumping. 

Always check the ingredients of a protein powder before you buy it to ensure the first ingredient listed is whey protein isolate. Don't trust the splashy label on the front.

Thank you so much, that sounds delicious!

Mmm... BBQ pork.  I think I'm gonna have to go out and get ribs this Friday - sounds like I'm planning really far ahead, but DH suggested it for last Friday and we ended up not going so it's overdue

I'm tired of food and thinking about it - and I just need to win the lottery so someone else will just feed me food when I'm supposed to have it :)

 

He he, you and me both on the lotto front. You can have a US win and I'll take the European one!

Very nice! Sounds great!
