If protein shakes are making you vomit you must call and let your surgeon know. That is highly unusual.

I have been drinking tea lattes for a change of pace. I was addicted to starbucks when I was much fatter, and their lattes have way too many carbs and dairy. I use a dairy-free creamer I make myself. Whole Fairlife milk works well (I eat full fat), but you can use skim milk or almond milk, too!
You need a cheap frother of your choice (I use this one) and a pan to do this technique.
However, you can easily customize a tea latte at home to fit your macros, dairy or not. I used fairlife milk for mine. This is how I do it:
1. I brew the tea double-strength. I prefer this.
2. I use liquid splenda or stevia to sweeten. You can use your sweetener of choice. I often actually go without these days.
3. Heat up the dairy (1/2 cup) in a pan to the point of scalding.
4. Use your frother and froth that baby up! Make sure there is room so it does not overflow. You can also use an immersion blender too :)
5. Slowly pour the cream into your hot tea
6. Enjoy your $6 latte for much cheaper - and much healthier :)
Typically a vanilla chai tea, large, at Dunkin Donuts has about 500 calories. This has 50-100 in comparison.

I am only 4 day out of surgery and they are telling me I am not getting enough protein . I can't do the normal protein shakes they make me vomit anyone have any suggestions ? I am desperate , finding it hard to remember to drink also!
Oh man, that sounds amazing too! I will definitely try it.
I had never heard of ponzu before, but now I am seriously addicted. It makes everything so much better!

So I actually just use regular hot coco mix(after checking the nut. label) and then use 1/2 portion of hot hot ho****er and a 1/2 portion of room temperature chocolate premier protein shake as the base. I really like this combo.
its nice as a evening snack or a morning snack, because the protein shake really helps fill me up, it doesn't upset my stomach like a milk based hot coco would, and it has some nutritional value with the protein! Also, I genuinely can't tell I'm drinking my protein shake, which is great because I don't particularly love the taste of the shakes by themselves.
i also do something similar with coffee. I don't use sugar or creamer anymore, just slowly add my shake in throughout the day. Works great.
Thanks for sharing Donna. I am absolutely OBSESSED with ponzu! I eat it on everything. Some of my favorites are tofu wrapped in very thinly sliced meat and fried in a fry pan and then topped with ponzu and shichimi (kind of like cayenne pepper) after it comes out of the pan, or a whole bunch of bean sprouts put in a bowl and covered with very thinly sliced meat and microwaved, covered with plastic wrap for 3 minutes and then dipped in ponzu and shichimi mix before eating. Yummm!
Can anyone suggest a good tasting protein or low carb hot chocolate. It's getting cold out there and I do miss my hot chocolate. Thanks.

I do an impromptu cauli stir fry with curry and add a bunch of diced tofu for protein. Comes out awesome :)

I recently made little mini zucchini pizzas and they were a huge hit! And easy to make!
Slice a zucchini so you have 1/8-1/4 inch round slices...lightly mist or brush with olive oil...bake
at 400 degrees for 5 minutes...take out & top with fat free shredded mozz. cheese & Italian seasoning
you can also add any other topping...put back in oven & bake til cheese melts...that's it! Enjoy
