When I came across this recipe on OH I was suspicious.  I have NEVER been able to make a protein drink that I can actually enjoy (I've tolerated a lot...but never enjoyed any****il TODAY!  I wanted to share with my fellow preggos in case you were struggling too.  This actually tastes like a Starbucks Carmel Frap...no joke.  And it has 31gms protein (although could be bumped up to 40gms if you use milk instead of the heavy whipping cream - haven't tried that one though).  I use caffeinated coffee since I've been battling headaches (and my doc says caffeine helps), but with decaf it would be just as yummy.  Try it and tell me what you think!  I would HIGHLY recommend using STARBUCKS SF Carmel syrup as opposed to other brands, but I'm sure it could be made with Torani or DiVinci or whatever syrup you love.  I am craving these drinks now...seriously...I promise you it is THAT good.

I forgot to mention that I do NOT add the 2 packets of Stevia - for me it makes it way too sweet.  Also, I only use about 1Tbsp of heavy cream.  Yes, it could be avoided, but for me it gives that richness and creaminess that makes me feel like I'm cheating the system. LOL!
