I would love to use them in my oats- maybe chai-spiced oats?!
Of course I’d have to make some smoothies- maybe chocolate-peanut butter or cappuchino-chocolate? The possibilities are endless.

Hmm I think the chai one might be sort of good in some sort of coconut milk carrot soup type thing?

Oh My Gosh I LOVE these drinks. Does it make me totally increative if I told you I love to just drink them plain?? With the high amount of protein its great for a pre and post workout!! I may need to start experimenting with some smoothies though.. I bet the chocolate one would be great heated up for a creamy hot chocolate!!

6 Dana January 19, 2012 at 6:21 am

i think id use the chocolate to replace the water or milk in a baked good!

I think the Chai flavor would be perfect in some pancakes on a Saturday morning, maybe even try it in some cookies or a cake for a delish desert.

Reply

54 Amanda January 19, 2012 at 12:17 pm

I would LOVE to try these with iced coffee. I cold brew coffee and have only made it with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk since that’s what the recipe called for. I would like to get away from so much dairy and sugar but need something strong to mix with it. These would be perfect! Sweet sweet protein. :)

55 sarah January 19, 2012 at 12:20 pm

I’d probably use them in a cereal-ly, nut buttery mash up, or try to make my own protein bars:)

I would totally try using these in either a bread or a rice pudding. I bet it would be an awesome addition taste-wise, especially the French Vanilla flavored one. Althought the cappucino sounds pretty darn rockin too. Whatever I decide to do with them, I just hope I win this giveaway. I never win anything!

French toast is the first thing that came to my mind – for the spiced chai and vanilla :) I just made the best french toast (sans eggs!) and now I’m addicted!
For the chocolate and cappucino – nice tall glass straight-up on the rocks. What a treat!

My dad has been complaining that I only use avocados in Mexican themed meals, basically only in savory dishes. He’s shared that he’s only eaten avocados in a sweet form most of his life and the only few times he’s had them without sugar, is when he’s had a couple of tastes of guacamole at parties. I would use the svelte products to try and bring my dad back to his childhood avocado ice cream eating ways, but in a healthier way. None of this condensed milk business. I’m going to Svelte my way to an avo “ice cream”. =)
