New luscious, creamy, warm drink on these cold winter days

Ok. So I don't usually "play" with protein drinks and stuff. I usually wait till someone else raves about something, then I may try it. Well, I have been freezing this a.m. for some reason, and was fixing my 2nd round hot chocolate using Matrix 5.0 and Splenda. Well, I had some SF Andes mints sitting on the counter (thanks to my new Santa who filled my stocking with protein/SF goodies.) Anyway, so I had this bright idea.   I heated up my water, then dropped an Andes mint (SF) in and it melted and completely dissolved. I added a scoop of Matrix, some Splenda, and OH MY WORD.... Starbucks - move over! My very own protein-filled, creamy, chocolate-mint hot cocoa.  Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, MMM!  ~ Tara  

Oh my goodness!  That sounds wonderful!  I can't wait to try it!  I really love hot chocolate with mint marshmallows but I have just been using Hood's Calorie Countdown and peppermint marshmallows...not nearly as much protein.  I am so there! Happy New Year Miss Size 12! Freddie

Yum-O! This sounds wonderful and I have a sample pack of Matrix...I'll give this a try.  Thanks for sharing. 

How much protein is in Hood's? There are 23g of protein in the Matrix...  Ya'll let me know what you think when you try it, K? By the way, I get the SF mints at Wal-Mart. You might also be able to find them at Publix...               ~ Tara

Hood's in the green carton has 3 carbs, 45 calories, and 8 grams of protein per cup.  I usually have a 16 oz. (2 cup) hot chocolate made with Gosh that's Good Chocolate every morning (having one right now!)  I made some peppermint marshmallows over the holidays and I float a tiny one on top.  In other words...it is 16 grams of protein. I'm gonna try your recipe.  I have a whole bag of Matrix at home and I need to use it. Big smile! Freddie
