I just tried and really enjoy a protein shake called ProJoe. I found it on the Bariatric Advantage website. 20 g of protein. I have only tried the Chai but it's got a coffee vibe that gets me thru the day!

I eat greek yogurt with a scoop of vanilla protein and two tsp of fiber for breakfast. Gives me some protein and fiber and tastes wonderful.

I use one scoop of Chike (chocolate) and one scoop of Click. It is just the right amount of sweet/coffee/caffeine/protein.

I start my day off with a protein hot cocoa: 1c. almond milk heated to quite warm (not HOT - that will make the protein clump), add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa (I like Ghirardelli), a generous dash of salt, and 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (I use Unjury). Thin with hot water to taste. Usually I have my coffee afterwards, but sometimes I mix in a half packet of Starbucks Via.

I'm also pretty partial to the Click Mocha, though I prefer that made into soft-serve for an afternoon or evening treat.

Did you say salt??

Did you say salt??

I've heard of people putting salt in their chocolate milk, I've never tried it but it sounds weird haha

I put 4 oz of almond milk, 4 oz of 50 calorie lite orange juice, 1 scoop Simply Right vanilla protein powder, 1 tsp orange metamucil, 1 tsp splenda..It taste like an orange dreamcicle. I also use vanilla protein powder in my coffee like creamer!

Yep - I said salt. Salt can help enhance sweet flavors, just as you put salt in sweet baked goods, or... think about salted caramel which is all the rage these days. To me, it helps balance the over-sweet taste of a lot of protein powders.

coffee is an addiction..... it was the first thing I thought about after the surgery.... will I be able to drink it..... I tried but it tasted awful.... and I couldn't go through my days without caffeine.... so now, 3 months post op, I can drink half a mug.... looked for skimmed powdered milk, and found it.... for protein.... it's better than creamer of course.... doesn't taste wonderful but it will do....

8 oz skim milk, 1 keurig cup Caramel Vanilla Green Mountain Coffee (makes about 8oz) cooled in fridge (make it night before), 1 tablespoon of Torani Sugar Free Caramel Syrup, 1 scoop Vanilla Protein, Ice Cubes. MIX. Tastes like Starbucks, I swear, with no guilt. 32 grams of protein. And takes me about half the am to drink.

I brew my coffee then in a blender bottle I blend 1/2 cup skim milk, a few vanilla stevia drops and SF vanilla creamer with a scoop of vanilla protein. I mix everything but the coffee in my blender bottle then slowly pour the hot coffee inside (so it doesn't clump) sounds like a lot of vanilla, but that's how I like it ;)

I make a frappe: 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup cold, strong decaf coffee, one scoop of the chocolate protein powder and a few ice cubes.

I see a lot of posts about Torani sugar free syrup. Is that something I can find in a grocery store or online?

I found mine in the grocery store near the coffee flavors :)

You can find a lot more variety online sometimes :)
