Two Protein Experiments
OK so today, I added a sleeve of Walmart grape single to a bottled water. Then poured half into another glass with ice. Then added 1.5 oz of a 42 g protein bullet. It tasted just like Kool Aid and I drunk on it for quite some time. I mixed up the other half for tomorrow at work and put it in the fridge
Then I wondered... since I didn't have grape sf jello... and only had grape New Whey bullets, what am I going to do for tomorrow night's jello? OK Have an idea. I took a sugar free cherry jello, mixed up a Nectar Twisted Cherry drink, removed the foam, and added it. I don't know yet if it will taste good or what the consistency will be.... but I can always add a little whip cream on top to hide any ill looking effects !
The Nectar Twisted Cherry comes in a large plastic container and is a protein powder... you can get it locally at the Vitamin Shoppe. I think its around $25 a container. I added 6 oz of water to it, shook it up really good in my Blender Bottle, which is a bottle with a plastic lid and inside it has a little whisk ball that breaks up your protein powder. It's so cool!
Anyway sorry I got diverted on my blender bottle gadget! I know that you can take a New Whey Bullet and add it to the sf jello, so I thought well why can't I just make a regular fruity protein drink like cherry and add that instead of a protein bullet? I don't know yet what the outcome will be! But stay tuned tomorrow evening and we will all do a taste test...
Now the grape sleeves I talk about are not protein, they are walmart's version (cheap) of Crystal Light. I like it a lot. Helps me get the daily fluid in!
OK the results are in...
The Protein jello was a different looking jello. Took a little longer than usual to set up, but tonight after we got home from dinner & shopping, I scooped out some and put a little whip cream on top. It tasted good... once I got over the very red looking jello... very congealed, if thats the word for it? Tim said he liked it.
Now, I liked the New Whey Grape so much in the cheapo Walmart grape singles to go, that I bought a tropic punch and put it into sf hawaiian punch & water. I also bought blue rasberry but not quite sure yet which flavor of cheapo crystal lite I will put into it. I only use 1 bottle of 16.9 water, one sleeve of powdered drink, and one oz of a 42 g protein bullet. This way I am conserving it... so tomorrow as I drink my grape or hawaiian punch, I will be getting in some protein and enjoy it all over again.
I am thinking they would be great in ice trays for popsicles... they have those popsicle molds at target! Just might have to do it!
