just thought I would share

Summer is here and a great way to beat the heat is to kick back and enjoy a delicious Ice Cold Root Beer Float. But I'm not talking about the regular Root Beer Floats that you're used to having as a kid. No, No, No... In this video I'm going to share a killer recipe that I just tried today for making healthy sugar-free & fat-free Root Beer Floats that are also high in protein! This is all you have to do: - Pour 1 cup of Diet Root Beer (i.e. sugar free root beer) in the blender. - Add in 2 scoops of vanilla whey protein powder. - Blend this up until the protein powder is dissolved. - Stop the blender and add in about 6-8 ice cubes. - Blend it all up until it's nice a creamy. Pour this mixture into a glass, filling it about 3/4 full. Then top up the rest of the glass with more Diet Root Beer. This makes enough for 2 servings. That's it! It tastes just like having vanilla ice cream mixed in with your Root Beer, but all the calories are coming from whey protein without any of the sugar and fat that you'd get with a regular root beer float. Give this one a try the next time you need a cool summer time treat.

    i never thought of mixing protein powder with soda. I have Optimum Nutrition Vanilla ice cream protein powder so I will definitely have to try this, I love root beer floats.
