I'm 1 week post-op and I tried to be creative with my diet by making hot chocolate using my protein shake #failed lol any creative suggestions?

@@macon_me You could use sugar-free hot chocolate mix and add unflavored Protein powder to it. I mix GENEPRO into my coffee every morning

Or if you are willing to work hard:

(this recipe uses Quest Protein powder but just about any chocolate Protein Powder should work). Good luck!

I've heard, but haven't tried that you can take chocolate Protein powder and mix with a little Water to create a paste and gradually thin with hot water until you have a hot chocolate type drink. The key is to premix the protein powder so it doesn't clump in the hot water.

OHHH! This looks amazing! This might be the thing that gets me through the holidays! Thanks for sharing!

You can pour protein shake into ice trays or popsicle molds and have a frozen treat.

I like Healthwise Hot Chocolate. It's got the 15 grams protein and tastes great. The downside is it causes me to have a bit of an acidy stomach. So I chew a Pepcid Complete berry chewable before hand. lol

I add the powder to my Vitamix, add hot Water to that, and blend. Perfect hot chocolate every time regardless of brand.

I buy the Protein hot chocolate made by bariwise. It's good!
