I'M IN LOVE!

ok....so it's not what you guys think....I'm in love with my new Keurig Platinum Brewing System!  I have been drinking coffee all day......LOL  Ok so the caffine isn't good for me but I can't help myself!  Once I get the "my K-cup" I'll buy some espresso to use but for now it's the ones that came with it!  I splurged at got the machine that can make a 4 oz cup so it is a super strong cup of joe!  I've had chocolate raspberry & chocolate hazelnut so far......LOL  ALL with a scoop of protien in them!  Now the only trips I'll be making to Caribou will be for beans!  Thanks for the recommendation Diana!  I've been adding 1Cup of milk to my 4oz coffee "shot" and it's perfect!  I highly recommend this machine!!!

Here is what I do for a nice "Protien Latte"
1 k-cup 4oz brew
1 Cup of skim milk heated in the micro
milk and one scoop protien powder & flavor shot of choice in bullet style blender
mix till blended.  This will create a "latte" like milk froth.  Then I pour the milk mixture over the coffee.
This fills a large Caribou paper cup!  I think that is 20oz.....

Awesome!  I got an espresso machine last year for Christmas and haven't used it yet this year - bad me (cold weather "this year" - LOL)

Sounds yummy

I was thinking about getting one of those but after discussing with Diana/mythinme I decided on the Keurig.  I just can't keep spending what I have on Caribou daily.

 Love my Keurig. Great idea for my morning latte with protein.

 WTG!!  I was at a friends house while on vacation and they had a Nespresso.  Can you say YUM!  It made me want one, except that I rarely have even a decaf so it doesn't make much sense to spend all that $.  I love coffee and don't want to encourage myself.

I'm going to get myself some decaf since I don't really want to have more than one or two caffinated beverages a day....

be careful with your caffeine intake. caffeine is a diuretic and it will dehydrate you... and its more difficult to get liquids in with such a small stomach

Thanks for your concern!   I'm well aware of the diuretic effects of caffeine and try to limit my intake to no more than two drinks a day.  I was addictied to dt mt dew pre and post op and decided I'd switch to my protein coffee instead since it was the lesser of the two evils.  I'm slowly weening myself away from it and intend to limit myself to one a day and use decaf the rest of the day.  I have nearly quadrupled my potein intake since switching to my hot drinks I am consuming upwards of 150gr/day!   My problem is I rarely get more than 4 hours of sleep a day and need the pick me up......One step at a time.......LOL

This is great! I use a foo foo coffee maker on weekends. I think "southernlady", Liz, might be building a "just for fun" forum web site for K-cup folks. She said she was going to add a spot for recipes. Stay tuned and ask her about it when she crawls out of the hospital.

I sure hope she does!  I'd love to have as many options as possible!  How did your day go yesterday with work?
