3 That moment when it all Clicks Yes, yes I know. Look I know, OK? You love your extra-large, non-fat, sugar free caramel whatever with extra foam. (See? I told you I knew!) But here s the real question: you re taking in all of those calories in your favorite coffeehouse drinks but what is that drink giving you back? More likely than not, some fairly empty calories. Sure, milk has some protein and good carbs, but what if there was a way to have a coffeehouse-style drink that gives you protein and nutrient-packed calories. But wait there is! That s where it all CLICKs! This recipe booklet developed by food blogger and writer Nikki Massie of Bariatric Foodie will not only give you inspiration to try CLICK, but 50 quick and easy ways to prepare delicious hot, cold and blended drinks as well as breakfast and dessert! So stop settling for anything less than the best from your calories. Make it CLICK! CLICK : The Coffee Lovers Protein! To click means to connect, to fit well together. And that was the aim of CLICK co-founders (and married couple) Greg and Beth Smith. They noticed a problem in living a healthy lifestyle. For many people, time is of the essence. They also noticed far too many people were relying on sugar-laden energy drinks and coffeehouse concoctions to get boosts of energy throughout the day. So they asked themselves: what if there was a great-tasting and nutrient-packed coffee protein drink instead. And CLICK Espresso Protein Drink was born! CLICK Espresso Protein Drink has a decadent coffeehouse taste that energy consumers crave, along with the nutritional support they need. It can be easily mixed with water, milk or their favorite beverage, all in a single oz. serving.

Why Bariatric Foodie loves CLICK I ve been a CLICK drinker since about a year post-op from Gastric Bypass Surgery (2008). I admit I was skeptical before trying it.

A few reasons: I ve tasted many coffee drinks but the flavor of CLICK is unique. The espresso used to make it gives a rich, decadent flavor that compliments most any additional flavor I add to it.

4 Why Bariatric Foodie loves CLICK I ve been a CLICK drinker since about a year post-op from Gastric Bypass Surgery (2008). I admit I was skeptical before trying it. I d been cleared to consume some caffeine but wasn t sure if coffee protein would even taste that good. To say I was in for a surprise is the understatement of a lifetime. So why do I love CLICK? A few reasons: I ve tasted many coffee drinks but the flavor of CLICK is unique. The espresso used to make it gives a rich, decadent flavor that compliments most any additional flavor I add to it. It s coffee with protein! Granted, as a post-weight loss surgery patient, I have to pay special attention to the type of protein I consume. CLICK uses casein protein, which is very absorbable to most people. To ensure I get a protein-punch out of my blended coffee drinks, I often mix a half-serving of CLICK with a serving of whey protein. (NOTE: That makes my CLICK stash last longer!) The flavor that even a half-serving contributes can t be beat. For the Foodie in me, CLICK s texture affords it many uses. That s why I ve written this short book! I ve made CLICK into delicious blended coffeehouse-style drinks, desserts, ice cream and even breakfasts! One of my readers has even made it into cheesecake! CLICK blends smooth and naturally yields a creamy texture, which I love. I hope you enjoy the 50 Ways to CLICK e-book.
