So after not posting for 3 days (I was at a conference and my TOTAL lack of organisation led to me eating junk carbs for at least one meal each day... and even have a few beers) I'm back on the (low carb) wagon.
Today is Saturday and /should/ be my carb binge day, but since my week has been lame I'm skipping it.
I'm just getting ready to go out and meet some friends, but fancied a drink first. But all I had in was some beer I'd put aside for today and some spirits but no mixers (and the only spirits I could drink straight are pretty high carb so they are out).
SO what to do?
More LOW carb iced coffee! low carb snack: iced soya milk coffee
With:
30g of protein power (vanilla) - this does add 3.5g of carbs but also adds 22g of protein so not too bad if I only have one. Or two...
Small slug of some JD
---
Someone had left it at my house (I don't like JD, not even with diet coke) but this worked well. I'd have preferred a brandy, so it would be more like a brand alexander, but the JD worked fine. I'd only suggest 1 shot of JD to a large glass of iced coffee, as I tried too and had to totally water it down with more soya milk, as it tasted too strong for me to enjoy.
So there you have it, low carb, high protein, skinny, soya, iced, JD whiskey, coffee!
Any other inventive '#lchp' drinks you would suggest? Comment below or tweet me at @LowCarbLiam

Low Carb Snack: Iced Soya milk Coffee
Boiling here in London today, and luckily there is light soya milk in the fridge, nearly totally carb free.
So make coffee with 1 tsp of instant coffee, and just a splash of boiling water. Mix in well, then add half a glass of soya milk from the fridge and top up with ice. A large glass is best, more room for ice! Give a good stir and leave for a few minutes to chill through.
You can add splenda etc but I try not to touch artificial sweeteners. If I really feel I need it, I add half a tsp of honey, be sure to add sweetener to the hot coffee, before the milk and ice is added, or it won't dissolve.
Max of 2.5g of net carbs if you use honey, 0g if not ;)
