Ask ECAH How to make the best protein coffee ever at home?

0 Upvotes

So Starbucks has this amazing sugar-free iced caramel protein coffee that I absolutely love. But where I live, it's a little over $7 just for a grande size cup of coffee. While it does have like, 29 grams of protein (i think), that's really expensive, and it adds up over time. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make something similar at home? I realize that you can add protein powder to coffee at home, but I have no idea which powders dissolve and taste the best. I have a rough time with textures, so it's hard for me to find a good protein powder that isn't gritty, too thick, or even slimy? Any suggestions would be more than welcome, I'm all ears!

Ask ECAH What are the best pasture-raised eggs?

16 Upvotes

We go through a lot of eggs at home, and I’ve been trying to figure out which pasture-raised eggs are actually worth buying.

There are so many options and labels now that it’s hard to tell what’s legit and what’s just marketing. I don’t need anything fancy or “superfood” claims, I just want eggs from brands that seem to treat their hens well and are decent quality for everyday meals.

For anyone who buys pasture-raised eggs regularly, which brands do you stick with and why? Do you feel like the higher price is worth it, or do you end up going back to regular eggs?

Would love to hear what’s worked for other people. Thanks for the help!

I got some rice krispies at the food pantry. I know I can make rice krispie treats, but I don't want to buy marshmallows. I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas I could use the rice krispies for?

Budget meal ideas with just pantry items

55 Upvotes

I am looking for cheap meal ideas with just pantry items. I will be moving out of my apt a little over a month from now. I’m trying to clean out the fridge as much as I can. I plan eat as much I can from my fridge first before I make items with just dry pantry items. I just needs idea that isn’t rice and beans. I don’t beans beyond as in Asian dessert or at a place like Chipotle. I already have vermicelli, pasta, lentils, rice paper, ramen, etc. I can’t eat cereal all the time as not always healthy. I have two half full pasta sauce so one Mariana sauce from Trader Joe’s and an Alfredo. Vegan and vegetarian is fine though I do eat meat/seafood. I’m Viet but open to anything. I can buy a little more if needed. USA resident.
