Seasonal Protein drinks

Who says you can't be festive just because you have to drink a protein drink!! Sugar free flavored syrups (carried by some super markets but also easily purchased at Amazon.com) can help you flavor anything for whatever holiday you are in the mood for year round!

Start with:

1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 scoop unflavored protein powder (pts recommend ANYWHEY or UNJURY brands)
1/2 cup 'milk' - I think that soy makes the richest latte drink because it is thick but you could also use skim or 1%, unsweetened almond or rice drink

To make Pumpkin Spice Latte:
3/4 cup decaf coffee
1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice blend (mix equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, keep in an airtight jar for future use!)
1 teaspoon SF pumpkin spice syrup
splenda or truvia if desired

To make Peppermint Mocha:
3/4 cup decaf coffee
1/4 teaspoon pepper extract (found in baking isle)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
(exchange the vanilla protein powder for chocolate)
splenda or truvia if desired

To make Caramel Apple Spice:
1 packet SF hot apple cider mix (Mott's makes one)
(could be done with water if you don't want milk)

To make Chai Tea Latte:
Heat milk in microwave
Steep chai tea bag in warm milk, then mix in the protein powders
splenda or truvia if desired
