This drink does not have protein. But then, all our drinks don't have to! In the cold weather especially, a good low-cal drink that helps you get that water in is worth it's weight in GOLD!
So here's a warm, comforting drink I came up with because I got bored with what I was drinking before. Give it a try, if you've got the ingredients.
Nik's Green Apple Hot Drink
Ingredients:
- 10-12 oz boiling water (depending on your cup size)
- 1 packet of green tea of your choice
- 1 packet sugar-free apple cider mix
- Optional: no-calorie sweetener (I didn't use any)
Directions:
Steep tea bag in boiling water for a minute or two, then remove.
Add cider mix then stir thoroughly and enjoy!
I find the tea calms down the tartness and sweetness of the cider mix. It's a nice little drink to have in your back pocket when you need it, y'know?
What do you drink when the weather turns cold?

I LOVE Crio Bru....it's essentially brewed cocoa beans, and if you add a little SF Torani syrup? Really good.
Decaf coffee mixed with FF coffeemate.
doesn't green tea have caffeine!
Deb, a small amount yes. But then so does so-called decaffeinated coffee! (Most decaf coffee is about 97% decaffeinated, true fact.) But in general the lighter the tea, the less caffeine and green tea does not have a lot. So white tea would have the least, then green, then the darker caffeinated teas. Herbal teas are caffeine free.
A neat trick to rid your tea of the caffeine. Tea bags release their caffeine in the first 3-5 seconds of steeping. So if you steep your teabag in just a few tablespoons of boiling water for that long, then toss the water and refill your cup, your tea is as decaffeinated as any other commercial decaf tea.
:) Hope that helps!
wow that is a great tip the decaffeinated tea is so expensive and never goes on sale. i have tried many brands but i am a tetly girl. thanks nicky from canada.
