The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Drinks by Nikki Massie
Almond Joy Shake
8 oz. milk 1 scoop chocolate protein powder Either 1 tbsp. German Chocolate Cake syrup or 1 tbsp. each of: sugar-free chocolate syrup sugar-free almond syrup sugar-free coconut syrup 2-3 packets of no-calorie sweetener (or to taste)
one of my fave protein drinks is a mint hot chocolate. It is from http://bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com/2010/11/hot-protein-drink-thin-mints-for-grown.html
Ingredients:
12 oz. milk, divided into a 1/4 c. + 1 c.
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 heaping tablespoon dark chocolate baking cocoa powder
4 packets no-calorie sweetener (to offset the bitterness of the cocoa)
3-5 pumps Davinci Peppermint Paddy Syrup
Directions:
In a mug, combine protein powder and cold milk and stir until a smooth paste forms. Add cocoa powder (it will not integrate into the milk).
In a small saucepan, heat mil****il it becomes warm and frothy (or you could nuke it but you get less "froth factor" and I like that).
Pour hot milk over protein mixture SLOWLY, stirring the mixture as you pour.
It takes some practice, but you should end up with a smooth, lump free drink. Add your sugar-free syrup and stir again. If it's not hot enough, nuke it for 30 seconds.
