Plesse Share Your Favorite Morning Protein Coffee Recipe Or What You Start Your Day With



Recommended Posts

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.

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.< /p>

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

      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! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
