Click Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

Since I hear lots of raving about Click Protein Powder I decided to order some from Amazon.

I am sadly not in love with it. I think I ordered Espresso Mocha and vanilla Latte, and they both are dissapointing. I have made them into Protein shakes using plain milk, plain Water and I've also tried almond milk. They are passable, just not wow. And I am also not happy with carb count or caffeine content. (That is strictly my fault, as I didn't research them very much!) I've been drinking Decaf coffee and gave up plain (unsweet tea) due to caffeine content, so why the heck did I order Protein powder with caffeine. Ugh.

I tried mixing some in my Fage yogurt and it was just awful. I choked it down because I didn't want to waste my precious yogurt.

Other than making a shake, does anyone have any ideas? I'm going to check out Eggface for some recipe ideas. If you love Click, please share with me what you do with it. Thanks!

I wasn't thrilled either. The cannister (espresso flavor) has been sitting in the cupboard since about week 3. I thought I might try making some Protein ice cream when it gets hotter here.

I like it but its too sweet and has too much caffeine. I can only take it at half dose (and one scoop only has 7-8 grams of protein) in the morning.

Thank goodness you said something!! I was looking at these today and considered ordering them but saw the high carb and low Protein so I didn't. Thanks for sharing that they're awful!!

I just make my own coffee flavored Protein drinks using some instant coffee powder...works pretty well.

That's a good idea! I have some instant coffee powder that isn't bad and I imagine I can mix it up with some Protein and make a mocha drink that might be nice.

I haven't tried CLICK but I know that Shelly at Eggface uses it in many of her recipes.

I found a treasure at Price Chopper. It is "TopCare" whey Protein. I like the vanilla because I can do a lot with it. I have added: vanilla and one equal, any flavor xtract one one equal, instant coffee and one equal, SF chocolate Syrup and one equal, vanilla and cinnamon and one equal, or one banana, some vanilla and one equal. I even added rootbeer xtract, a dab of vanilla, and one equal and had a rootbeer float. It is reasonably priced ( less than $10./lb.), has 110cal, 4 carbs, 3 sugar, and 20g protein.

I have a soy allergy and can handle the wee bit that is in this product--wayyyy at the end of ingredients.

Ok so to answer your Question about CLICK! I make it palatable by doctoring it up, I always use milk in my Protein drinks. Then I add some flavor, caramel latte anyone, throw some SF caramel ice cream topping in there. Or maybe a half a banana. Hey how about some Peanut Butter. If you have any of the Torani SF syrups you can make any flavor 'coffee' you want. You can make the Click hot by using warm milk or warm Water, notice I said WARM, not hot! OH and I also increase the protein of the drink I am making by doing 1 scoop CLICK and 1 scoop of another protein powder. I still need my morning fix, I usually have it in the form of hot tea, but sometimes if I am not eating good I have a shake!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
