Oh my!!! I tried something new and let me tell you it is amazing!!!! I got a French vanilla ice coffee from dunkin made with skim milk I thennnn put a scoop of my vanilla protein powder in the coffee! It's 170 calorie 23 gram of protein and 1.5 fat snack to dip on alllll morning in my preschool class!! :) live it!! Next time I won't need the skim milk due to the powder acting as it which will save 69 calories but ugh great!!! :)

    There's a protein coffee creamer called Ripped Cream that's pretty good too.

    When I have chocolate flavoured protein or even unflavoured whey I add a spoon or two of instant coffee to it and mixes up great and tastes great. cheaper and easier than going elsewhere for the coffee too.

    I use 1/2 of a scoop of either chocolate or vanilla protein powder, add a bit of milk, just enough to mix it up to make it smooth, add maybe a bit of sugar free caramel or vanilla syrup and then stir in my coffee! Love it!

    If you like that, you might like a Coffee Coolatta protein shake that tastes like something I would pay $5 at Starbuck's for. I saw the recipe on someone else's post on mfp a few weeks ago. Combine 6 oz milk, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1-2 tsp instant coffee, 1 T Nutella, and crushed ice - then blend. I also add 1 tsp cocoa, but I like my chocolate on the dark, bittersweet end of the spectrum. So easy to make, so delicious, and it fills me up for a few hours!

    I don't use sugar in my coffee and 1 scoop of the whey protein is only 3 grams of sugar.

    I know the coffee bean uses milk powders to create their lattes...now that you mention it I guess it wouldn't be too different. good idea.... but isn't 1 scoop too much for 1 cup of coffee? I'd think like 1/2 scoop would be better, otherwise instead of a coffee latte, I'd think you'd have a hot coffee milk shake (thick an creamy...which may be tasty but not my go to in the morning lol!)

    Thanks for sharing, I have been looking for a way to get away from wasting 140 precious calories on my coffee. Will try this soon.

    I thought 1 scoop would be to much too but a medium ice coffee is 24 oz and usually 1 scoop of protein powder is for 8 oz. I found the medium worked perfect with 1 scoop. The small was to overpowering (and thick) and the large I just can't drink that much! Lol the medium had a great French vanilla taste from both coffee and protein powder and the powder gave it that nice light color as if you had milk. I rarely ever use sugar but sometimes I will add 1 or 2 of the zero calorie stevia packets or if I need to equals.
