I'm really struggling with not drinking while eating. Physically I can't do it, but mentally I keep reaching for the water bottle. Frustrating! All in time, I guess.

I do that too, and I found that if I chew sugarfree gum for that 30 minutes it helps me to not feel so thirsty. I now realize how much salt was in the food I was eating cause I am more aware of that thirstyness after I eat. I also do things like eat a couple strawberries at the end of the meal to add some juicyness that clears the other food tastes out of my mouth.
its important that you wait an hour after you eat before you drink. and 10 minutes before
eating you stop drinking.

My recipe: I cold-brew my (decaf) coffee (using a Toddy system. Makes a coffee concentrate and also has the added benefit of removing most of the acid). I then mix my protein powder with 8oz of unsweetened almond milk. Pour that over ice and add my coffee (~4-6oz?). I've used both vanilla and chocolate protein and most recently, 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 cinnamon powder.
You can do the same with hot coffee, just be sure to mix your powder with milk or something first and as you add it to the hot coffee, stir the dickens out of it so it doesn't clump.
