What is your beverage of choice when doing phase two of the protocol?
I drink more coffee now than I ever have before! When I was pregnant with my first child 12 years ago (OMG!) I gave up coffee. After having him I was so excited to have coffee again and the first one I tried I nearly puked! I couldn't stomach it any more so just gave up.
A couple of years ago I started having the occasional mocha and really enjoyed it. This was the gateway to the hard stuff, before I knew it I was on the slippery slope to lattes.
Starting the protocol I knew I would have to succumb to the truly hard stuff and go black (think blue ice). Surprisingly this wasn't as hard as I thought and I now actually enjoy good black coffee. 'Good' being the key word here! You must have good coffee and I buy mine locally from potluck coffee . No instant crap!
If on the protocol you will hear about Crio Bru and Yerba Mate.
Crio Bru is a chocolate type drink. It come in hard granular form like grated chocolate. It is basically grated cacao bean that you make in a plunger. Firstly, let me say it smells divine! My daughter loves the stuff and I don't mind it but find it lacking. It seems'watery' or just not creamy. I am not sure, I think it is because when I think hot chocolate I think of warm and creamy not watery. However, it is quite tasty if left to brew for at least 15minutes and you can add stevia to sweeten. If you aren't on phase 2 you can even have milk or make it with milk.
As for yerba mate, let me say first up I am not anavid tea drinker! For me this tasted like every weed in the universe blended and poured into my cup! LOL
Plenty love it and it has great health benefits, being likened to green tea. So, please try it, especially if you are battling hunger!
My next fave is Egyptian Red Hybiscus Tea. This is just lovely and can be drunk hot or cold. Bare in mind that if you have it hot it does lose some of it's vitamin benefits due to the heating process. I tend to make a large plunger of it and drink cold during the day, any left over I have put into my smoothies the next day. It has great health benefits and is diuretic and anti bacterial.
So, what do you like to drink during phase 2? Please send me a comment and share your poison!
