Coffee in my protein drink, what??

ChrisRS87

I recently bought a 2lb tub of Optimum Nutritions Hydro Whey, Cookies and Cream flavor. It wa the cheapest, and after tasting it I could see why (I mix my shakes with Silk Almond Milk, Unsweetened Vanilla flavor). When I was drinking it one morning at work I took a swig of my protein shake and a swig from my coffee, HOLY *kitten*, what an improvement.

So now when my coffee cools down a bit I mix it into my cookies and cream protein drink, it tastes kind of like one of those Starbucks Frappe things you find in vending machines.

Since I drink my coffee black I didn't bother adding anything for it, black coffee is <5 calories.

I mix a Starbucks Mocha Frap with Isopure 9 carb Cookies and Cream protein.... it's actually quite yummy for breakfast

I was mixing 1/2 to 1 scoop powder with 1/2 cup skim milk and about 16 ounces of coffee and it was nice. I had to reduce my protein powder intake because it was making me bloated so now I just eat 1/2 scoop in my oatmeal. Never tried it with only water though, too chicken

I do a chocolate whey, frozen banana shake some mornings, plus I make my much needed coffee. I never thought about mixing them- minus the banana of course- duh! It wuld be perfect on a rushed morning. Thanks!

Using protein powder as your coffee creamer is awesome!

My latest afternoon snack addiction: one scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 - 2 tsp. instant coffee, 1 Tbsp. Nutella, 3/4 cup milk, 1 -2 tsp. cocoa - optional (if you like a richer, darker chocolate flavor - and I do!), crushed ice, and a little water, blended well. Tastes like something I would pay $5 for at Starbucks.

Yes!
And if you like Chai, I make a Vanilla Chai with a splash of almond milk chill if overnight then in the morning blend with a tiny bit of ice and Vanilla Protein powder.

Keeps me buzzing around all day!:drinker:

Ive been doing this for a year now.
I brew my half mug of coffee the night before, allow it cool down, cover and refridgerate.

I mix it with almond milk and whey.

I put a starbucks via pack in my morning protein shake. I'll have to try one with cookies and cream and crushed ice. I love frappuccinos!!!
