Looking for a Protein/coffe drink, please



Recommended Posts

Ok, I recently tired the Skinny Latte at Starbucks and loved it. I'm not a super coffee drinker....other than your normal coffee with Creamer.

So since basically giving up coffee since surgery, would like a Protein drink that taste like the skinny latte to enjoy in the mornings.

I prefer warm drinks over the cold ones. Is that possible with the Protein powders?

I tried a recipe on here that was suppose to be like a frap....I didn't care for it. Maybe I put to much instant coffee in it...not sure.

So hit me guys with some recipes.....remember, I prefer warm drinks.< /p>

Thanks,

Robin

Note: I put this in the recipe section too....but I know alot of more people come here.

If you like hot chocolate this is some good stuff. And 15 grams of protein!

Thanks, I have some of the click. It's not bad, but a little strong for me. It's nothing like the Skinny latte at Star Bucks.

Thanks everyone.

Syntrax Nectar makes a Cappuccino Protein powder...23 gm of protein per scoop. And then Unjury makes a chicken broth drink that is fabulous! 21 gms per scoop. If you like your drinks warm...these are both great. Sadly, hot Water makes the protein powdered drinks curdle so 130 degrees is about the max for heat. I keep mine in a coffee cup on one of those candle warmer thingies and it stays nice and toasty while I sip away!

Living the dream!!!,

Hey TM,

Instead of the instant coffee cold frapp, try a cup of strong coffee (I LOVE my Keurig..sing cup, but you could use reg coffee or even a press.) Let the coffee cool cool below 130 since that is supposed to clump the Protein. Add your vanilla Protein powder (if it's the skinny vanilla you like, don't add any other flavor). YOu can add any SF Syrup (in a very small amount to avoid that aftertaste- 2 capfuls is plenty for me) and give a quick blend.

I don't know, it's really a taste preference.

(I LOVE my Keurig..sing cup,

I totally have to second you on that. Our Keurig is the most used appliance in our kitchen - including the stove!

TM - I brew a large cup (10oz) at 192 degrees, add 6 oz cold skim milk to thin it out and cool it down below 130 degrees (because Protein powders DEFINITELY clump at higher temps,) throw in some Benefiber to keep things happy downstairs and add 1 scoop of unjury Protein powder (either chocolate Splendor or vanilla.) It tastes like a strong latte, and doesn't have that 'protein shake' taste to it.

Well I've been experimenting....so this is what I came up with:

8 oz of FF milk

1 scoop of vanilla Protein powder

1 tsp of Decaf instant coffee

1 cap full of Vanilla Torani SF Syrup

spinkle of splenda.

I blend well. Then put in microwave for about a minute to warm...and yum yum yum.

Calories 212 (protein powder has 130) and total Protein 35 gms. Yum... Now that is coffee working for you. :D

With the milk I get added protein. I could try with Water or 1/2 Water and 1/2 milk to cut down the calories, but if that is all I do for Breakfast, didn't think it was bad.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
