Low Carb Milk

THM Friendly (S)

I know I’m not the only one who misses a rich, creamy cappuccino. Dairy milk has protein, carbs and fat so it’s a wonderful food for growing calves and little people – not so when one is watching their weight. So if you have missed milk – keep reading!

About this Recipe

By jove, I think I’ve done it! And with only 2grams of carbs per serve!

You all know how I have been on my quest. A quest to satisfy my daily habit. I have tried everything – almond, cashew, coconut, sunflower, flax, hemp and blends but none of them have been able to satisfy me.

Until now. The inspiration came to me while making the instant cookie dough protein bars which are yummy and hit the spot. So I experimented and I still may not fully be there yet but I think so. This has been in the works since mid November and now I’ve learned to tweak it each time I use it depending upon my needs for that time.

I won’t lie, it is calorific. But it is an S and as low/moderate/high in protein as you make it. You can customise the recipe depending upon your budget, taste, dietary needs, etc. Leave out the Sunflower Lecithin if you don’t have it. Use 1/2 TB of WPI and 1/2 TB of Collagen Peptides if you’d prefer. You can even use 1 TB of cream if you find 2 TB too heavy for you. This is similar in composition to a Rich Trimmaccino but I don’t much like the texture or taste of MCT in my beloved coffee. I also tried to make it similar in composition to normal dairy milk… it comes pretty close except my recipe has more protein, more fat and less carbs so quite different really.

And it texturises just like dairy or soy milk when you’re making a beloved cappucinno! BUT it isn’t dairy milk! It is  dairy though, just not dairy milk.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch of mineral salt
  • 2 tbsp of cream (pure, no added sugar)
  • 2 teaspoon Natvia or sweetener of your choice (sweeten to taste)
  • 1/8 tsp Sunflower Lecithin
  • 1 Scoop (30g), 100% Whey Protein Isolate – Natural Flavour

Method

Blend gently to combine in Thermomix, food processor or whatever you use. I then use this with a 60ml shot of espresso to make my cappuccino because this milk froths and textures up beautifully!

Notes

As it is the nutritional breakdown is:

  • Protein: 13
  • Fat: 12
  • Carbs: 2
  • Calories: 164

Why the salt? Salt always goes really well with coffee, but I also like to use a little salt whenever I use sweetener. It just sort of rounds it all out.

Lecithin – is a naturally occurring fat found in many plant and animal sources. Lecithin maintains and stabilises fat in many food products. It also provides that creamy texture to our drinks. Adding Sunflower Lecithin to your diet is a wonderful, natural way to feed your brain. I prefer sunflower over soy lecithin where possible. Lecithin is one of the very few products that I order from overseas as I haven’t found a reputable source here in Australia. I like the NOW brand from iHerb.

However, your mileage may vary due to difference ingredients used.

Let me know how you go with this recipe. I hope this enables you to enjoy a rich, delicious normal tasting cappuccino occasionally.
