I look forward to the holidays every year, just so I can drink my SF peppermint mocha coffees! Now lemme warn ya upfront...if you're a purist, then leave this thread--I mean it! Runaway! Runaway!

Sounds good! I have been drinking Coffee Mate Sugar Free Peppermint Mocha creamer off and on for the last few months with 5.5 oz. of Premier Protein Chocolate RTD. Pretty good stuff. I never thought of adding the fiber in there. That is a great tip!

Hey sweetie, what is the SF coffee Mate? is it caffeinated? I'm such a panty waste, caff makes my heart go crazy. Isn't it supposed to be high in ECGC goodness? And lastly, where can I buy it? TY doll!

They have mocha?!?!?! Where can I get it online?

I've only ever seen Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Banana, and Caramel.

Torani (https://www.torani.com/) sells tons of sugar free coffee- house syrups. I have a whole "bar" set up in my house. This morning was Quest Caramel Powder, Coffee, sugar free chocolate syrup and ice in the blender. Some days its chocolate protien powder, 1 tablespoon of PB2, sugar free caramel and coconut milk - hello Snickers. I have both chocolate and peppermint at home right now, along with coconut, salted caramel, vanilla, black cherry and lemon. I use the black cherry and lemon in iced tea. I use the others with shakes or hot or cold coffee.

That's ok, at least I know I haven't been missing out on some exotic secret flavor!

I also use the Torani sugar free flavors, I currently have the pumpkin pie, hazelnut, english toffee, s'mores, and brown sugar cinnamon. I use them in my coffee instead of sweetener, in powder mix protein shakes, and if I ate oatmeal they would be good in that too.

I was so sad, World Market was out of my pumpkin pie when we went last week. Is the S'mores good? I almost got it. They were on sale for $4.99 for the big bottles!

Yes, I like the s'mores, but it's really just a marshmallow flavor, no graham cracker. That's a good price for the big bottle. I don't have World Market near me so I always have to order online and pay the shipping too.

Yeah, we're super blessed it's here. I also find them sometimes at TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and Home Goods. Do you have those places? I hate paying the freight! Also, Vitacost will ship free over a certain amount! I get a lot of stuff from them. ((hugs))

OK, omg, here's a better one!

I'm about to go to PT, so I'm trying a little protein before and after to see if I can get rid of the Starvin' Marvins!

Iced Peppermint Mocha Protein Coffee

Serves 1

8fl oz decaff coffee (your fave)

4fl oz vanilla or chocolate PP RTD

14g Dutch chocolate protein isolate (Isopure Dutch Choco)

3g Benefiber or 5g Now whole psyllium husks (optional)

ice

Stir like a maniac until it's completely smooth. Add ice. Enjoy.

Nutrition: 129 cals; 23g prot; 1g fat; 6g carbs; 4g fiber; 2g net carbs (if you don't want to add the fiber, subtract 18cals, 4g carbs, 4g fiber).

So dang good, I want to say, "Shazaaaaammmmmm!!!!"

I haven't gotten back to coffee quite yet, as my surgery was just on 11/20, but it's good to know that there are fun holiday options available! Thanks for sharing!

Hope that you get to enjoy soon! ((hugs)) Huge congrats on your surgery. How are you feeling now? So excited for you!

Feeling good! I'm reshaping my relationship with food and understanding what my body needs. Things have been going really well so far (knock on wood)! I just moved to soft proteins (tuna, eggs, deli turkey, etc.) and learning what works now and what doesn't--I've been tolerating most things well--down 21lbs since the surgery!

Wow!!! That's amazing. 21lbs??!! Good Lord! Heeeeuuuuuuuggggeee congrats on that one! I bet you're so happy to move on to soft foods? Are you having any issues with the deli meat or eggs?
