Whey powder in coffee?

Something I'd like to see too!

i like to blend my black coffee with almond or soy milk and a scoop of protein... add ice to make a frappuccino. I love the taste, but that's me.

(I usually brew a huge pot of black coffee and will store in the fridge so I don't have to worry about it every AM, that way I can just throw my ice, milk, protein, and coffee into the blender and then voila.)

In the past I've made my vanilla protein shakes with a packet or two of Starbucks Via instant coffee tossed in on top of the protein powder, add milk or water as required, and shake all of that up in a Blender Bottle (or similar contraption). If you like iced coffee, it fits the bill pretty well. I personally didn't like it with chocolate protein powder, but I can't even say for sure why that was. I've been thinking I need to get back into the protein shake habit for breakfast, and as I'm typing this, I am thinking I need to run back out to the store tonight and get some coffee packets.

ETA:

Vanilla protein powder with coffee is wonderful. Throw in some nutmeg and it's even better.

Yes! I forgot about the cinnamon that I also normally throw in there. Nutmeg sounds good too, though! For a 20 oz shake (half in the early morning, half around 10, unless I wake up famished) I do 2 scoops of whey powder, 2 packets of instant coffee, a teaspoon of Vietnamese cinnamon (the spicy kind), and 2 cups of milk or water. Yum.

Not to be snarky but I doubt the poor coffee is the sole culprit for your calorie overage, however if you meant it as an area that looks like you can easily cut some calories then I would first suggest tinkering with the milk (the higher fat/ cow milk have way more calories) and second perhaps changing the agave to stevia if you want a nature sweetener because that stuff run 60 calories a tbsp I believe.

As far as whey protein "in coffee" that doesnt work unless you get a special type I think there are a few that you can mix in with hot coffee, as whey protein denigrates in heat over 120 degrees so your option would be a cold coffee protein shake if that the case. Moreover, protein shakes are good options but be warned that they are not always low calories since unless you can stand mixing it with water (IMO its gross and tastes chalky) so you would need milk or some other liquid to add some flavor for it to replace a meal.

Again not trying to be snarky just my 0.02$ on the matter as someone who drinks coffee and protein shakes and eats breakfast.

Wow :noway:

I do it everyday. I use unflavored protein (Isopure) and mix with ice and coffee in the blender. Iced coffee!

When I used to drink coffee, I would put chocolate peanut butter whey protein and vanilla almond milk (and stevia!) in my coffee. It was delicious and around 100 calories.

Thank you for the ideas everybody, coffee + whey protein.

I've been looking for something like this for myself!!

I do the same!! Love it!

Really, why in the heck would a person question another person who states she already knows where her cal overages are coming from? Telepathy? You didn't really come across as snarky lady above who posted this. You came off more idiotic.

I've been using whey with coffee as a shake. I chill my coffee overnight, use about 2/3 C of Almond Milk, ice and a serving of the powder. I might start using instant hot chocolate to make it a mocha or chocolate almond milk.

One of my friends does this, she had a weight loss surgery that prevents her from absorbing stuff right so she has to take a lot of extra protein and vitamins. She mixes a scoop of chocolate or vanilla flavored whey protein into a mug of coffee daily. We were actually talking about this recently and she uses this without issue: http://www.allstarhealth.com/f/champion_nutrition-pure_whey_plus.htm She specifically addressed cooking the powder and says that with this one she's never had any trouble with it cooking even when she puts it straight into her coffee after it comes out of the keurig

It would seem that my regular calorie overages result from having my coffee (with milk and agave nectar) and breakfast as well. I'm trying to figure out a way to make those one and the same.. lol

I'm thinking a blended coffee beverage with whey powder? Anyone else do this or have a decent recipe? I've been experimenting quite a bit today and haven't come up with anything that wasn't disgusting..

Thanks in advance!

ice
milk
instant coffee

Every morning I have a scoop of Phase8 Milk chocolate PP and mix it with 8oz cold coffee and a few ice cubes!
Getting my caffeine and my protein and it's filling!
