After listening to a Berardi MP3, where he suggested using iced green tea as a base for protein shakes, I figured I'd give it a shot. I only had chocolate powder... It was okay...
Got me to thinking about how to spice up a protein shake. Make it more of a real drink, rather than something to bolt down.
I tried some vanilla protein powder (mixed with water) with some Chai Tea concentrate. It was pretty good (assuming you like Chai).
I had never tried Chai before, since I never drink sugar sweetened and/or milk based drinks. But, with protein powder now a "staple" in my diet, I figured "what the heck."
I can keep this in my cooler and drink it WITH my lunch, rather than AS my lunch, which has never been satisfying.
It was good enough that I'm going to try to make my own Chai mixture from my own spices and some green tea. Then, I can just add my vanilla protein powder and be good to go.
