I gave this recipe 4 stars. I made thisfor fall 2009 PAC. When I made this I used the sugar free vanilla caramel creamer as I didn't have enough sugar free vanilla creamer. I gave this 4 stars because when I added a scoop of GNC chocolate protein powder I couldn't even tell. Otherwise I would have given this 2 stars but that's cause I don't care for the vanilla caramel taste, but with that being said I wouldn't mind trying this with the sugar free vanilla creamer. I also cut the recipe in half as I'll be the primary drinker. Overall I'll make this again for sure. Thanks for posting a good recipe! Christine (internetnut)
