CVS brand protein powder

Yesterday I had to pick some prescriptions up at CVS and I wanted to try their new brand of protein powder.  You can buy it in individual packets.  I already forgot how much one packet was, but it was reasonable.  I got vanilla because I usually like vanilla protein shakes better than chocolate.

Today I went grocery shopping and picked up some sugar free caramel syrup so when I got home I decided I wanted protein coffee.  A caramel vanilla protein latte, to be exact.  Iced.

So I mixed the protein powder with two tablespoons of sugar free caramel syrup and enough water to make a paste, then stirred that into the coffee along with my daily dose of Miralax, a packet of Upcal D and a couple pactets of Splenda.

Even though I did the protein the way I usually do it, mixing it into a paste before putting it in my coffee, I ended up with a few tiny clumps.  However, the clumps were mostly floating on the top of the liquid so I was able to simply scoop most of them out with a spoon.  It turned out pretty good.

That sounds good, I usually use the Body Fortress but this morning I tried adding a few tablespoons of Carnation Instant Breakfast. It gave it a nice but different flavor.

Thanks Kelly. I only tried it cold. I wonder what was up with the floaties?

 I found the CVS brand of chocolate pretty good. I mixed it with a little bit of luke warm water first to make a paste and then added chilled milk and some ice. Not bad. Not too expensive either.
