Crazy question- anyone ever mix protein drinks (muscle milk and such) in with their coffee? Or maybe the powdered protein w/ coffee?

    One of my MFP pals does this with cinnamon whey and says it's delicious.

    I do! I use the GNC total lean protein with the starbucks powdered coffee. It is very good hot but even better blended with ice. I'll take one scoop of vanilla and one of the chocolate then 1 cup of water and the coffee powder add ice then throw it into my magic bullet to blend.

    I've been thinking about doing this. I have one of the Mr. Coffee Cafe Frappe Blenders where it brews the coffee right into the blender and blends it all together in one step. I bet it'd be pretty good if I were to add my protein powder and milk to it instead of just the coffee, milk, and sweeteners.

    Also, I add a shot of espresso in my Myoplex sometimes and it comes out super delicious. Kind of like a power mocha.

    Yes, I do on a regular basis when I use a shake. Especially before a workout. Before the shake days I always had a cup of coffee or two before a lift. The coffee takes some of the edge off the poorer tasting ones.
