Iced Protein Coffee!!
It's getting to that time of year when I just don't want to drink my morning protein coffee hot. I finally found just the right formula for it cold so I wanted to share. I love the Big Train Fit Frappe Espresso with a little bit of sugar free caramel syrup. Today I tried 12 ounces of cold water, 1/4 cup of the Big Train, syrup and just a few ice cubes in my personal size blender just until that ice is chopped fine. I poured that over half a cup (24 ounce cup) of ice. Sheer perfection!!!

I haven't tried the Fit Frappe, but I am a big fan of Syntrax Nectar cappuccino. I also like the Chike iced coffee a lot. The Chike mixes really well with water - I like the Syntrax better with milk, or at least half milk/half water.

I always liked the Syntrax Cappuccino and milk the best too. Now though, it tastes 'proteiny' to me. The Fit Frappe mixes really well with water, absolutely NO clumping. I have never tried Chike, as I remember it is quite expensive (almost double the price of Big Train). I would be happy to send you a serving if you would like to try it!

I would love to try it! I'll PM you my address.
I'd send you some Chike but I don't have any at the moment. You can get a single serving packet on their website for $2.50, though. If it's that much more than the Big Train and you like the Big Train, though, then I'd probably just stick with that.

I love the fit frappe. Its not whey protein and it seems to dissolve so much better than the whey stuff. The only thing that I found frustrating in the earlier days was how much more powder I needed to get a 20g protein drink. But now that I eat my protein without issues, I have switched to the fit frappe. YUM!!! I like the Vanilla Latte flavor with a few squirts of sugar free white chocolate mocha syrup. I prefer it hot, but the cold is on my agenda soon!!!
