I had some calories left and wanted to up my protein, so I put my protein powder in hot water and made hot chocolate. Yum! Nice to wind down with before bed :)

    I've been tempted to try chocolate protein powder mixed with peanut butter and use it in a sandwich, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

    Anyone tried choc pro powder with peanut butter in their oatmeal? Peanut butter oatmeal is my fav, but I haven't added the powder yet...

    I've always wondered how it would taste hot. I usually blend it with ice or frozen fruit. Maybe I'll have the courage to try it in hot chocolate soon. Thanks for sharing.

    I eat oats with cinnamon, PB2 and chocolate whey protein powder sometimes for breakfast. I add a few chocolate chips for sweetness though. :-)

    Sometimes the brand of whey cooks when heated, so it'll clump up and get gritty. Same with in oatmeal. Gotta add when warm, not too hot.

    But for sure, sounds tasty!

    I like to mix my chocolate protein powder with a little creamer until it's a smooth paste and then add hot coffee...instant protein mocha and a nice sweet treat to end my day (I drink coffee at all hours!)
