pumpkin, sweetener, cinnamon and cloves for pumpkin spice
matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract and sweetener for green tea latte
you could also add all natural almond butter and sweetener with a pinch of salt and a little vanilla
personally, i avoid protein powders these days (they spike my BG), but i love making protein shakes with pastuerized egg whites. myabe he would go for something like that? my favorite is with ice cubes made from very string coffee, cream, sweetener, ice whites, and sometimes cocoa or a flavor extract like rasberry. blend it up and voila- it is like a frappucino but healthy.

Your ideas sound good. I wonder if powdered egg whites would work. I think they are less expensive than the refrigerated kind.
