R U Sick of Same Ole Drinks?

I am.  I swear if I have to drink one more Fuze drink... . or one more Labrada Lean Body Hot Mocha...  or one more Cafe Americana.  I am just needing a new drink to love.  So I did something different today. I took 1/2 scoop of Nectar Vanilla Bean Torte and 2 tblsp of David Rio's Sugar Free Spiced Chai.  I added a little cool water.  Made a paste.  Stirred until there was no clumps at all.  I boiled water in my tea kettle and added to make a cup.  Oh hot mama!  It was tasty tasty! So what are you drinking in your cup today?  Have some ideas to help me get my water and fluids in???  Spill those beans!

Personally, I am drinking Gladiator vanilla with a piece of banana and a teaspoon of peanut butter.  It is thick and delicious! 

I have never been much of a milkshake drinker and unfortunately, that is what a protein drink seems like to me - although I havent officially made any myself.  Not to mention the smell usually makes me gag.  So, how do you make a protein drink that is light, tasty, possibly fruity, and not vitamin tasting?  That is the one area that I really lag in because I just can't seem to get one in me - I mean even the Cytosport got nasty real quick.  Any suggestions?

I like the Whey Gourmet Rasberry Smoothie.  I can add 6 oz of Diet Cranberry Ocean Spray and shake it up really good, add ice.  Or you can blend it up if you want to.  I did that right affter my kidney stone. I also sometimes like to add some sugar free red bull to the rasberry gourmet with a few strawberries.  It reminds me of the Keva Juice Sugar Free Redbull drink.  You must remember that Red Bull has caffeine, so if your doctor does not want you to have that...  but you can substitute the Red Bull with Fuze drinks, Diet Ocean Spray, or just use water .  Whey Gourmet also has a Pina Colada one that was good.  I tried it at Paula's house once.  But I do not actually own it.  You know, you can buy that from Netrition.

I may have to try the Raspberry Smoothie thing - that sounds delightful and refreshing.  Thanks.
