Fat-free, Low-carb Protein Smoothy
4 scoops of OPTIMUM NUTRITION 100% Any Whey Protein
1 tablespoon sugar (to counter the bitterness of the saccharine) (optional)
2 tablespoons saccharine (Sweet 'N Low)
flavor powder (volume varies by flavor)
6 ounces fat-free yogurt (optional, for thickening)
2 cups fat-free milk
Add all ingredients to a blender jar in the order listed, and blend for about 30 seconds; or until the mixture has a smooth consistency.
Adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste. Adjust the volume of milk for the desired thickness. Instead of flavor powder, one could also use coca powder.
Sugar-free flavor powders can be obtained from NaturesFlavors.com. I have not done business with them, nor am I recommending them, yet I pan to buy from them soon. Nature's Flavors has 135 organic sugar-free flavor powders to choose from, so it is easy to use this solution long-term without getting "burned-out" on a specific flavor.
