Protein Hot Chocolate

I've notice posts in many boards referring to protein hot chocolate. Where do you buy this? Sounds delightful especially on -18 degree mornings like today!

It is good and so tasty.  I take a scoop of protein powder, add one packet of sugar free hot chocolate mix and mix in a little water to make a paste or you could use milk or creamer.  Then I add ho****er and stir.  Top it with whipped cream for a treat.

Wow...sounds great!! What protein powder do you normally buy? I've been a RTD girl thus far so haven't gotten into powders yet.

I really like Syntrax brand, especially Cappuccino.  Everyone's tastes are different so what I like, you might not like at all.  What RTDs do you drink?  I've not found any I really like. 

I have some samples of Syntrax chocolate, so I'll give it a try.  I'm not a huge fan of the consistency that powder brings typically.  I found Isopure Zero Carb to be my "go to" protein drink.  I love the grape flavor and a 20 oz bottle has 160 calories and 40 grams of protein.  Usually for breakfast I just drink 1/2 of the bottle (10 oz, 20 grams of protein) and dilute it with some water.  The consistency even on it's own is like water, so after you dilute it a bit it really feels like I'm just drinking flavored water and I love that.

You have to make it - not sure of any place that sells it.

I do the same as Jo.  I use the Swiss Miss diet (has lower carbs) and add a scoop of chocolate protein mix with some unsweetened almond mil****il a slurry then I put the cup in my Keurig and just let ho****er go in. Mix after.  Very good.

You also can switch it up a little if you want - use the hot chocolate mix and use vanilla protein - makes it nice and creamy tasting!  You also could add a teaspoon (to taste) of cocoa powder...

Now another twist - mix the hot coco mix and protein with the unsweetened almond milk into a slurry and chill.  It becomes something similar to pudding...

The key to adding protein powder to hot liquids is to mix it with a warm or cold liquid first then with the ho****er/milk/coffee. 

Holy Cow all the options sound great and the tips for making it are appreciated. What powder do you prefer? I've been sticking with RTD pre-op. I love the tip for the Keurig too - makes perfect sense!!

Syntax nectar family is my favorite but I also go to gnc. Right now I'm putting the gnc cookies and cream in my coffee. Syntax has a chocolate that is very good and mixes well. You can get that in many places.   Amazon, vitamin Shoppe  etc 

I think Bariatric Choice actually makes one that they sell but it is pretty expensive and it is a lot easier to make your own. 

I make big ones in my 20 oz blender bottle to get more fluid in.  I use almond/coconut milk and water and heat it in the microwave.  In a small cup I mix a scoop of protein, 25 calorie hot chocolate mix, sweetner and a spoon of cocoa with warm water.  Then I add a little of the hot to the cup then add the cup to the bottle. 

My other favorite hot protein drinks is using the Lemon tea.  I use my big bottle again and hea****er with a tube of generic crystal light peach tea.  I mix the lemon tea protein in a small cup with warm water.  Add a little of the ho****er to the cup, then add the cup to the ho****er mix.  Yummmy.

Ooooohhh the hot lemon drink sounds wonderful too!! Thank you for the great ideas!
