livilu 39 Posted January 3, 2014 So I respect those who don't drink coffee but I have never had a problem drinking it and have never come across a good reason to quit. The only problem for me was the empty calories so I decided to make it healthy. Every morning I drink about 12 ounces of coffee with 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/3 serving of Unjury chocolate splendor Protein Powder and 1 tablespoon of unsweetened chocolate powder. This has about 80 calories and 11.5 grams of Protein. It is a perfect way for me to start my morning any still get in some protein. You can also jazz it up a little if you get bored by adding half a peppermint. candy or caramel and it only adds about 15 calories. 2 planetheather and michelle68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Globetrotter 1,340 Posted January 4, 2014 I'll do you one better - the coffee and espresso Protein powders!! Click and Chike are two popular and delicious brands, fewer calories and carbs and higher Protein so you get to have MORE COFFEE!!!!! Throw in a splash of sugar free Torani or dainci Syrup and it is indistinquishable from the calorie bombs at starbucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichiganChic 3,262 Posted January 4, 2014 I heart coffee I'm drinking it now, and I drink it every day. I have a cup black in the morning, and usually once or twice a day I'll have a cup of flavored coffee. I try different Keurig cups with different Creamers. pumpkin spice coffee and Creamer, Winter carnival coffee with Salted caramel mocha creamer are two of m faves. It really helps curb my appetite, so the 30 calories I spend on creamer is worth it to me. Globe, I also love the Chike iced coffee, but since it's well below zero here in Michigan, I'm sticking to Hot drinks for now! Do you drink it hot? Disclaimer - I'm a year out, and I didn't drink any coffee for the first 6 weeks. Also, I do not take Vitamins near the time I drink coffee so I don't have an issue with absorption.

Globetrotter 1,340 Posted January 4, 2014 Yes I do drink them hot - my trick is to make a "concentrate" cold and then add in either hot Water or steamed milk, that way it prevents the dreaded Protein powder curdle-chunking that often happens when you try to make PPs hot.
