Question:
Anyone have a recipe or good idea on how to make protein shakes taste like frappicino

I used to be hooked on DQ blasts and starbucks frappicinos I'm sure it would be easier to get the protein shakes down. Thank you    — Gina K. (posted on June 3, 2007)

I like to mix chocolate low carb slimfast (20g protein & 2 net carbs) with the chocolate whey protein powder (23g). It tastes like a chocolate shake. Sometimes I add a packet of CIB (4g protein) to make it extra chocolately. REALLY YUMMY!!

I'm haveing lap band on 6/18 and getting my nutritional stuff organized a head of time. My Doc suggested protein drinks that had less than 5 carbs and at least 20 protein gram. I found Bioplex Whey protein at Super Supplements...Nutrition Facts Amount Per 1 serving Calories 80 Calories from Fat 0 % Daily Value * -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Fat 0g 0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturated Fat 0g 0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Polyunsaturated Fat 0g -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monounsaturated Fat 0g -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cholesterol 0mg 0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sodium 35mg 1% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Potassium 126mg 4% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Carbohydrate 0g 0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dietary Fiber 0g 0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protein 20g 40% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alcohol 0g Vitamin A 0 % Vitamin C 0 % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calcium 0 % Iron 0 % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vitamin D 0 % Vitamin E 0 % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thiamin 0 % Riboflavin 0 % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niacin 0 % Folate 0 % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vitamin B-6 0 % Vitamin B-12 0 % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phosphorus 0 % Magnesium 0 % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zinc 0 % Copper 0 % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs. Ingredients Ingredient Name Amount Units Processing This food does not have any ingredients. This tastes pretty darned good. I put it in the magic bullet with 1 cup non fat milk. I thought I would try stuff out ahead of time to see if there was something I wasn't going to be able to handle. Good luck, Carlotta

I use the nectar cappicano with Choc. Carb countdown milk ice in the blender, after blending to shake consistancy, I add a handful of almonds and blend for a few seconds more. Makes a great "mocha almond cappacino shake". Yummy!

I use Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Protein Stack chocolate powder. It has 23grams of protein per scoop. First I put some ice in the blender, then I add 2 scoops protein powder, 2 shots espresso and blend it really well. The thickness will depend on how much ice is used. It will bubble up a lot, and I have to wait till all the bubbles settle down until I can drink it. It really doesn't have the consistency of a frappe, but I think it's yummy, and it's a refreshing cold drink for the hot weather.

Just add an unflavored protein to the coffee drink you already like. Jerome UNJURY Protein

I agree with the first response. The Acheive One coffee drinks are my favorite. Easily portable, already made. You could blend it or put it over ice, but I drink mine right out of the bottle! Available at www.c2linfo.com , they are the best! I have tried to mix my protein shakes with decaf coffee and skim milk, but if you blend too long in the blender, you get too many bubbles! Good luck!
