Using a Keurig for Protein Drinks
I'm getting a Keurig soon as was wondering if anyone has any "recipies" for making a protein drink with the coffees and iced coffees. Just looking for ideas....
I have the same protein drink every morning for breakfast and am looking to shake it up! Right now I use 1 scoop of Nectar Vanilla Bean protein poweder with 1c skim milk plus 1 packet Startbucks Via instant coffee and 1 cup water amd mix with a blender ball shaker cup. I'll also add a pump of sugar free vanilla syrup and a dash of cinnamon. I like iced/cold drinks better than warm and have heard that some protein powders don't do well mixed at warm temperatures.
Thanks!

I am 5 days out of surgery and yesterday I finally went out and bought one of the little mini blenders. It's like "The Bullet" but an off brand and I love it! Before the the shakes were clumpy and nasty to drink because I would have chunks of the powder floating around no matter how well I tried to mix it w/ a spoon. The new mixer makes the shakes frothy and actually looks appetizing. I think I will use it even after the "shake stage" for other cooking needs. I haven't investigated it too much but I think you can do iced coffees also. Good luck!
I make protein coffee with my Keurig every morning.
Recipe:
Mix 2-3 tbs your favorite creamer (milk, half & half, FF coffeemate, etc) with 2-3 oz cold water in a large coffee mug (16 oz size)
Blend in 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder (I use GNC AMP in chocolate and a battery operated frothing whisk)
Brew your favorite K cup right into your protein creamer (i blend as I brew to eliminate clumping).
Add flavor shot if you want and enjoy!
by mixing the protein with the cold liquid then the hot you temper it so it doesn't curdle
