Hey there,

A friend gave me 4 scoops of vanilla whey Protein powder to try because I was afraid to buy a whole tub and find out I don't like it. Well, I want to make a coffee type Protein shake with simple ingredients I have in the house already. I'll try all those other yummy flavors later on.

Do you have any ideas for a cappucino or whatever, coffee type shake thingy? Can I be more vague?

I'm in a good mood cuz I just got back from my WLS clinic and I lost 6 more pounds! I can do better, but YAY anyway.

I just use the required amount of protein powder/ and water and I add 1 teaspoon of decaf instant coffee and a teaspoon of sugar free vanilla syrup (Starbucks or tosani). Hills brothers sugar free cappuccino mix is a good add to.

I use one cup of coffee, 1/2 cup skim milk and a scoop of protein shake. I think it's pretty good.

Do either of use ice, in the blender?

I never have, I drink it hot. I bet that would work though!

Here check out this thread, there's a few good ones including one with a blender and ice:

Oh Thank you, thank you! All of you! I'm going to try it tomorrow for breakfast.

Thanks for this topic... I never thought to ask for ideas. I've just been trying different things... but could never get it just right, but I will def. try the instant coffee. That sounds good....
