Protein powder in hot drinks

I have been trying to get more protein by using a little protein powder here and there. It's good added to oatmeal. This morning I added some vanilla protein powder to a SF NF mocha and it was delicious. I don't like cold protein drinks in the winter so wanted to try a hot one. Anyone have any good suggestions for other hot options using protein powder?

I mix whey and milk in a shaker and then I use it as creamer during the day, in my coffee.

I mix vanilla whey with oatmeal and fruit with some milk. Tastes great. For a hot beverage I use a chocolate whey in the blender with some milk and blend, then pour in coffee. It makes an awesome mocha-chino. It is key though to disolve the whey in the milk first or it tends to clump when the coffee is added. Sometimes, you may want to microwave it a little to bring it back up to hot but not for very long or the protein gets a little funky. Just 20 to 30 seconds. If the coffee is really hot this is not usually nessesary.

This!

I put it directly in my coffee yesterday- I was out of milk- and it worked, but took a LOT of mixing. Also, some brands do better with heat than others.

I've been jonesing for some creamy coffee . . . thanks for the idea!

I tried this the other day. I mixed my chocolate protein powder into my coffee. It dissolved right away with no clumping. It tasted just like one of those International instant coffees that used to be really popular. That could be a good thing for a lot of people, but I hate that stuff. I managed to drink the coffee because I didn't want to toss the protein powder. But lesson learned for me

Why the hell didn't I think of that?!?

OMG, you are my new hero. I would have never thought to do this.

Here's the protein pancake recipe I use:

1 scoop vanilla whey
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 rounded tbsp psyllium husk powder
Dash of cinnamon
Little blip of vanilla
Enough water to make a thin batter (about 3/4c)

(I know, not super precise, but I'm not a measuring type)

Bring the batter together and let it sit for a few minutes because it'll thicken up as it sits. Then plop them it on the griddle.

ETA: It'll make between 6 and 10 pancakes depending on how large you make them.

Any one have any suggestions as to which brands/flavors to mix into hot drinks, particularly coffee. I've been looking at this for a bit, but then I look at those massive tubs and the cost and think if this doesn't work that is alot of "investment".
