I have to admit I was a Starbucks junky especially this time of season with the pumpkin Spice latte!! My plan does not allow coffee until 6 weeks. I’m ½ week away from enjoying some coffee!!

Need to stop watching or hearing these commercials for pumpkin this, pumpkin that coffee!!

What's your favorite Caffeine drink?

Love me a skinny peppermint Mocha!

Now most every morning I make a 3 oz coffee and stick it in the freezer for an hour or so while I enjoy a hot coffee. Then I take about 4-6 oz skim milk, a heaping teaspoon of either sugarfree chocolate or vanilla pudding depending on the flavor I feel like that day and 3 ice cubes. Blend it. I add a scoop of same flavor Protein powder (I like unjury) then add the cold coffee and I have a delightful, protein packed, yummy coffee treat!

I have this 6 of 7 mornings. I have grown weary of fruit smoothies.

I never drank as much coffee pre-surgery as I do now. It's my cross-over addiction. The thing about the Starbucks PSL- I had one a couple weeks ago (a tall, fit it in my cals for the day), and OMFG- it was soooo sweet- too sweet. I had sugar-overload mouth for hours after I drank it. Not good. I don't know how people order and finish a grande or venti. Yuck. On a lighter note, I found International Delight sugar free pumpkin spice creamer at the store this morning, so I am HAPPY.

OK, question for you. Will you be able to drink it black?

Here's why:

I got to 100% decaf before surgery and am bact to 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaf now, but on my plan it's black, therefore 0 calories.

I love the sf pumpkin pie syrup! I use three teaspoons of instant decaf coffee blended with a little warm Water, add a vanilla or chocolate Premier Protein Shake from costco and three pumps of syrup. Yum!!! And 30 grams of protein. The s'mores and caramel syrups are good too. What is Chike? .

Chike is a brand of protein that comes in a delicious coffee flavor and two shots of espresso. So good! I get a tub from amazon.

I will have to try your recipe as soon as my syrup arrives.
