Recently, I've thought of blending my morning coffee with either slim fast powder or protein powder. But, I am not a fan of experimenting on my own (and who wants to ruin a good cup of coffee). So, I thought I'd ask if anyone else blends them together with ice to make an iced coffee protein shake lol

I'm in the habit of adding instant coffee to my protein shakes.
I use the Rainbow Light Vanilla Protein Energizer which is great except that it has stevia in it, which I don't like the flavor of. Folgers instant takes care of the problem.
Happy shaking!0 -

A friend of mine puts his Why Protein in his coffee. I believe he uses the vanilla flavor. Just an idea0 -
I added chocolate protein powder to my iced coffee. REVOLTING.0

I do this a lot, however you have to do it with iced coffee. There is a weird chemical reaction between the heat and the protein powder that makes it curd up and completely ruins a good cup of coffee. I make a big pot of coffee at the start of the week, throw it in the fridge, every day poor it over ice with protein powder and it's great. No cream or sugar needed!!!
p.s. I use vanilla whey isolate!!0 -
I tried this once.. and let me tell you, it was the worst idea I ever had!
I have a cinnamon flavored protein powder which I thought would go good with coffee.. and it def. did not!0 -

I'm going to try this tomorrow morning (made a small pot of coffee tonight for the occasion) but all I have right now is the EAS Recovery revigor chocolate flavor protein powder. If I add ice and mix it in a blender, it should taste like a Jamocha milkshake from Arby's....right?0 -
I actually use unsweetened chocolate almond milk and cappuccino protein powder by Syntrax occasionally. :drinker:0

It's best with a shot of espresso, but coffee will do. It's like a super-mocha. Delicious and nutritious.0

whey protein lattes. Totally.0

My co-worker use to add chocolate protein powder to her iced coffee everyday till she ran of the powder. Now she just adds a premade shake to hers a couple times a week when she doesnt have breakfast.0

I freeze coffee into cubes. Then I blend the cubes with chocolate pp and sweetener. Tastes almost like a mocha frap.0

I have one a couple of times a week as follows:
Ice (about 6 cubes)
1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee...I like Gloria Jean's Caramel Indulgence
70ml approx of coconut cream
2t flax meal
2t almond meal
1 raw egg
2 scoops Sun Warrior vegan chocolate protein powder
1/5 to 1 cup of almond milk, depending on desired thickness.
Stevia powder to taste (optional)
Natural Yoghurt (optional)
Make the coffee, allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, or make up a batch and keep in the fridge. Blitz the ice in a blender, chuck everything else in and process until smooth (I usually leave the coffee until last so it doesn't melt the ice). Yummo!0 -

I kept having problems with the ice watering everything down. You may have to add a little liquid (coffee, milk, creamer)0 -
I put 1/2 packet of Starbucks VIA instant coffee, I have used caramel and mocha flavors, in the blender with a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Blend with 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1/2 cup water and ice cubes. I love it!0

Thanks all!0

Protein powder with ICED coffee and some almond milk is pretty good. Better if you blend in some ice cubes too.0
