Protein Coffee

I make a canister of my protein chai tea mix...combination of vanilla protein powder, splenda, skim milk powder and cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg....shake it up to blend. Usually lasts me almost two weeks (one cup every morning).


So if the coffee one works, I will have two yummy starts to my morning....

Meaning I add two tablespoons of mix to my one cup of tea every morning lol.

It gives me about 16 g of protein per serving

Pre Op I LOVED my  daily Venti 7pump Chai Tea from Starbucks....humm how on earth did I ever gain so much weight duhhhh. Anyway can you please share your Chai receipe please.
Thanks

Protein Hot Chai Mix   6 scoops vanilla protein powder 1.5 cups non-fat powdered milk 3/4 cup Splenda 1T. chai spice mix (or use half cinnamon and half ground ginger) 1t. ground cloves 1t. cardamon (original recipe calls for this, but I don't have any, so skipped it)   Mix all dry ingredients in a covered bowl until well blended.  Make a cup of hot tea. Add two heaping tablespoons of mix to the tea. Wisk or blend in Magic Bullet or blender for about 10 seconds. Makes it nice and frothy.  Recipe makes about 12 servings.   Per serving:  Calories: 146 Fat: 1g Carbs:  9g   Protein: 19g

There you go...

I think if I subsitute chocolate protein and omit the spices...but add a capfull of caramel SF flavouring I think I may have a hit.

Thank You very much for sharing. I have everything I need to make a batch. I will be enjoying a chai tea in the morning.

I have hot protein vanilla chai decaf every morning. I mix 1/2 cup of milk with a scoop of vanilla protein, a packet of Splenda and a few squirts of whatever sugar free syrup sounds good. I put it in a blender bottle and shake good and use it like a flavored creamer with my decaf vanilla chai tea. I also use it with coffee as a creamer.

OH MY GOSH... would y'all quit talking dirty around the newbie post-op who's trying to follow the rules???  ROFL!!!

Ruthie my dear.......where is the rule book that says you can't enjoy a great cup of decaf???  Warm liquid protien is good!!

Heather Dahlink, why in the world would I want to drink decaf???  

I tried some warm protein hot chocolate this morning and it went right through me.  LOL 

I think I'll just hold out a little longer until I feel comfortable doing an expresso with a shot like the big girls do.  

 

OK, "Wylie" Ruthie, what are YOU eating this week?  Whatdya eat last week?
I'm up for soothin' the sleeve, and so far haven't found anything that does the trick.
Any suggestions for me a day out?
