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.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
