What kind of protien would you suggest adding to hot coffee? I typically drink it black but I thought I could get an extra protien.
Also, it ok to add to hot drinks without breaking down any of the nutrition? Yeah stupid question but I know some things lose nutritional value when heated.

I have a cinnabun flavored protein mix and I add about 1/2 scoop that to a large coffee sometimes. It's pretty tasty. Sometimes i'll also do that but mix it with hot coco mix instead of coffee. I don't think the heat has any affect on the protein at all.0

I tried adding protein powder to coffee. It was absolutely disgusting0

I do ON milk chocolate protein powder (full scoop) + 1/4 cup of almond milk + 10oz coffee. It's like a protein mocha.
...my idea of what a mocha is is kind of sad...0 -
And I don't think the heat breaks down any of the nutritional elements. I Googled it a bit when I started making my drink and someone said "well you cook meat and it doesn't change how much protein is in it" and that sounded legit so I believed them. Very scientific.0

I've added vanilla, chocolate, and even strawberry whey to mine. Some brands dissolve better than others though.0

I've never found a brand that didn't get chunky and disgusting in hot liquid. Protein powder in iced coffee, though, is delicious.0

When I was cutting I used casein powder in coffee and found it worked better than whey. If you have a mini whisk just give it a go and you won't get chunks. I added walden farms maple syrup if they flavor wasn't sweet enough. It was a great way to get protein in my breakfast, and I didn't have to eat. Plus it ended up being less calories than my cream and sugar.0

I would say only do it if you can blend it somehow, mine was always chunky even with a whisk. But I also dont like the flavor of my chosen protein powder so I personally wouldn't unless I really enjoyed the flavor.
But I know plenty of people who make protein coffee drinks their breakfast. I may have to consider it soon too because I need more calories in the morning but I really enjoy not actually eating breakfast. I can't imagine heat will impact protein powders because many use them in recipes for pancakes and cookies0 -
I called the manufacturer of my protein powder and they said that the heat wont affect it. I use one of those hand immersion blenders to mix mine.0

I don't know guys. I really didn't get lumps with Gold Standard casein powder. In fact, it was pretty creamy.
With Quest whey I would get a little but I could usually work them out with a whisk.0 -
I don't get lumps.0

Yeah, we don't get lumps0 -
I don't get lumps either. If it sits it forms a kind of foamy layer on top, but it's easily stirred back in.0

I make a desert type of thing a gf showed me
A scoop of Labrada chocolate protein. A half cup of coffee and some half and half. A pack or two of Splenda Stir in that spray can cool whip stuff until it gets a nice desert type consistency
Cappuccino nice creamy desert that just tastes way too good to be a healthy protein snack.0 -
I do this every morning. I mix my protein powder (Pure Protein is the brand I use) with a cup of Vanilla almond and coconut blend milk. Shake then add the coffee and shake. It's creamy and smooth every time. I use less milk sometimes but the milk is how I try to get my calcium in too.0
