How to add some zing to that clumpy chocolate thing

I was all excited when I found out that one of my shake options for the horrendous 2 shake a day one small meal pre-diet from hell. Well, it clumps in cold water, even if you use the blender. It clumps a little less in warm water (for a hot chocolate option), and it turns into chocolate marshmellow evil if you put it into the microwave.

This morning I had an epiphany. I had just brewed up some coffee for the hubby and I was about to make my shake. Yep, you guessed it, eight ounces of coffe with two scoops of chocolate delight. It was really very good. I think the caffeine helped with the sensation of being full a bit more too.

I'm allowed a cup of fruit with my meal every evening. I have already been adding that to my vanilla shake and putting it through the blender. It really thickens it up and makes it more of a frozen consistency. Three more days to go, I can do this!

Hello

I am the queen of shakes, well I think so. I put 8oz. of milk into the blender, add my powder, then some decaf instant coffee, a little peppermint extract and fill the blender with ice. I have a small Hamilton Beach blender. I blend until all mixed and it tastes so great! I am not a breakfast food person so i have been having the shakes since March even though I got banded in July.

Good luck.

Dylan, this is the second time I've seen you post that recipe and I can just say one thing.

I have seriously got to buy myself a blender...

think it would work in the margarita machine? :D

Gerhowzel - when I put my cappuccino protein powder in milk & stir, then shake (blender cup), I always stick it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Just that little extra time helps it not be powdery or clumpy anymore. I tried drinking it right after mixing and Yeuccccch! Talk about nasty! It was like sipping CLUMPS of flavored mud. Trial & error.... :)

Thank you for the tip! Right now I need all of the help I can get.
