My new favorite stuff: protein hot chocolate
VSG on 06/12/13
I know my WLS peers have mentioned this in the past, but I just stumbled across the most amazing/delicious thing - protein hot chocolate and it is nothing short of amazing.
What I did:
1 packet Swiss Miss diet hot chocolate (25 calories/4 gms carbs per serving)
1 scoop Jay Robb protein
water
I put a cup of water, the hot chocolate powder, and the protein powder in the magic bullet and blended. I poured it into a mug and popped it in the microwave till hot. This made the foam created from bulletizing it firm up almost like the froth on a latte or the schlag served on hot chocolate at my local european coffeehouse. I am in love.
I keep checking MFP. Certainly there must be a mistake here. This has GOT to be more than 135 calories and 5 gms carbs.
Feeling like I am getting away with something here and fully admitting I'm late to the game...

When you heated it up, it didn't clump up or anything? It sounds pretty good!
I like the Swiss Miss diet hot chocolate...it is a great substitute for the Starbucks skinny hot chocolates I used to get. :)

It didn't clump. I think the secret is not to get it over 140 degrees. I can't tell you how many times I have added protein powder to hot coffee before adding cream and end up with what looks like scrambled eggs in coffee. yecccch.

I follow Bariatric Foodies tips on making the hot chocolate and have never had it clump on me.
