I am presently drinking my lunch at my desk and was mixing the PP with skimmed milk. I noticed that milk in general is high in carbs. I would be interested in what goes well with the strawberry flavor that I am presently consuming. I thought of crystal lite or diet Pepsi but thought maybe some of you might know some suitable lo-carb natural liquid other than water. Started at 233 on New Year's, presently 226 and headed for 205.
Will celebrate by spring skiing in Utah.

water with a dash of heavy cream.

there is a low carb milk called carb countdown you might try

Ctbart, I don't know what kind of 'mixing equipment' you have at work, but a couple things come to mind--

If you're making your protein drink with a spoon and a glass, and that's as high tech as you can manage at work, then try:

--(if you will use soy milk) WestSoy vanilla flavored unsweetened soymilk, or half soymilk and half water. In addition to adding an extra hit of protein, unsweetened soymilk is only around 1-3g carbs per cup--depending on brand--and you'll get a really thick strawberry shake!
--cold diet V8 splash, sweetened with Splenda (3g carbs per 8 oz.) and a shot of half and half. Half and half has the same number of carbs per ounce as heavy cream, but is easier to mix with a spoon. If you use the Tropical Blend (orange) flavor, you'll get an orange-berry shake.

If you've got access to electricity and a sink at work, or can bring a frozen shake from home for lunch, you might invest in a Braun stick blender. For the money (usually around $15-20 U.S.), this is one of the most dependable and effective stick blenders I've ever used. It breaks down for storage into two pieces about 7 inches long, and the sections fit into the 500ml/16oz mixing cup--so the whole thing fits nicely into one section of my desk drawer. This blender is strong enough to make your shake out of things like plain kefir (cultured milk, 14g protein and 8g carbs per cup), plain yogurt, frozen berries, etc.

For a kefir strawberry shake, I'd use 4 oz. kefir, 1-2 oz. half and half, your protein power, 6-8oz. cold water and a couple of frozen stawberries.

Enjoy!

Hood's Carb Countdown milk is GREAT!!! Even comes in chocolate. I get mine at WalMart. It comes in full fat, lowfat, and nofat. Only about 4 carbs. I use the Met Rx protein powder and mix up 2-3 days worth in my blender. Then pour into individual bottles..ready to drink at home or on the go!

I dont know if this pertains to the subject but I live on veryfines FRUIT2O. The orange flaver taste just like tang. I love this stuff because its spring water and sweet without sugar ( uses splenda ). I drink this when I have a sweet craving and it does the job.
