My go to protein drink as a treat!
This might not suit many of you, but "occasionally" I like a hot chocolate or some similar concoction before bed. This has worked well for me and it is not too far out of line!
1 - Carnation instant breakfast chocolate (no sugar added) packet
1 cup of skim milk
1/2 capful of Miralax (optional) but I take a 1/2 capful a day in a variety of ways :-). This just happens to be one of them.
1 tablespoon Crème de Menthe liquor (again optional, but ooohhhh so good!)
This provides me with 13 grams of protein, as well as keeping me regular! The mint flavoring just puts it a bit over the top. I'm sure you could use non-alcoholic flavoring and get the same effect.
This is an inviting warm drink in the evening . . . especially on a chilly night.
