I am sort of a high-maintenance low budget girl. I require certain things to keep me running. I know that a certain coffee chain "Keeps America Running," but do you think the donuts really keep anybody "running?"
Heh. No.
I require quality coffee everyday, and low sugar high cocoa content chocolate as much as humanly possible.
When I found myself sidelined with a health condition that kept me from even just going out for a "cup of coffee, " (because I can't drive right now) my husband bought me the nicest espresso machine he could find. While it's wonderful, I'm drinking a million cappuccinos, and that's not always what I need.
I found this product.
Click. No pun intended. But, click it.
It has what I require.
Espresso, chocolate, and, PROTEIN, 15 grams in one serving. It can be made hot or cold, I tried it both ways about eight times now, and I love it. (You know I don't just throw that out there, I am a tough cookie.)
For the sake of a simple review, I tasted it AS THE PACKAGE DIRECTED and it was just perfect.
I prepared it cold, and look, I sucked this down, and then I cleaned the bathroom in a single bound, I did!
As a hot drink, it's also delightful - you literally just mix it as you would any hot powdered drink like a cocoa. I highly suggest a whisk, and do it well, and you get the best results. This mix really has a smooth mocha flavor.
I've been drinking it hot in my morning cappuccino - I whisk one or two scoop into some hot water to mix, then a shot of espresso and then top it off with steamed unsweetened soy milk, and it makes an AMAZING morning cup.
I've already thrown it into protein shake concoctions in the blender, and it's OMG!? DELICIOUS with blended ice and additional flavors. (THINK ABOUT THE OPTIONS HERE PEOPLE!)

Overall, I am very impressed with Click Protein. There is NO telltale protein-y taste, you that icky tongue-feel and after taste you might get with other protein products? I don't know how it's possible, but it's true - you cannot tell that this is a protein drink by any stretch.
Add that to the fact that it contains my two main food groups, espresso and chocolate? It's a clear winner, and my new thing.
- Product: CLICK Espresso Protein Drink
- Via: www.drinkclick.com
- Gastric Bypass Supplements, Amazon
- Pros: Two major food groups! Espresso & Chocolate. I could probably live on it. :x
- Cons: I probably shouldn't live on it.
- Rating: YES. NOW. More. Please? Oh, what was I supposed to say? Pouch-worthy MM.
- Thing is, some people don't do caffeine post gastric bypass, so I shouldn't say pouch-worthy. I HATE DISCLAIMERS. Go drink water if you're in that category. You can learn your limits.
