Got yours in today?

I just have my iron and C before bed.  Unfortunately, I am almost out of my  yummy Calcet creamy bites, which means I may soon be having trouble getting my third dose of calcium again.  I recently ordered some protein powder and sugar free syrups and should have ordered some of the BA caramel calcium chews at the same time, but I forgot about the calcium.  I might have to go back and order them, though.

My favorite protein powder is Syntrax Nectar cappuccino, which I order from vitalady.com.  I got a few samples of new things to try, too.  I almost always get a sample of a new protein powder when I am ordering protein or vitamins or whatever from vitalady, because she sells samples of so many brands.  They are cheap and that way I can try different things and have different options for shakes.

She also carries the da vinci and torani sugar free syrups, like the kind they put in coffee drinks at Starbucks.  I've been using them in protein shakes and in Greek yogurt.  This time I ordered peach and amaretto.  I had to get the peach because Panera has this wonderful looking peach smoothie now and I really want one but they have something like 65 grams of sugar so I can't drink it.  So I'm gonna make a peach protein shake.  And peach yogurt.

Thanks for the info. The peach does sound really good.  I just received yesterday all the samples of the Nectar from Syntrax yesterday and haven't yet tried any.  They do a one time sample pack for $14.00, I got a box full - I will try the cappuccino first, do you mix anything else in it?

I like the cappuccino mixed in milk, and I add a little bit of Splenda and a little bit of instant decaf coffee crystals.  It tastes OK without the extra Splenda and coffee, but I like it best that way.  Sometimes I add a sugar free syrup to it - I've made it with a splash of caramel or a splash of raspberry.  I shake it up in a blender bottle and put a couple ice cubes in it.

You'll want to play around with your protein shakes.  There are different ways to make them and it will really affect the taste.  If you mix it with water, it will taste different than if you mix it with milk.  If you put it in the blender with a handful of ice, it will taste different.

Sometimes  when I get samples, instead of making one big shake with them, I make two small shakes so I can try two different things with the sample.  Does that make sense?

I really love the cappuccino, though.
