Has anyone tried blending coffee into protein powder???

I use optimum nutrition extreme milk chocolate protein powder so I was going to make a mocha protein frap.

I don’t feel like spending anymore money at Starbucks!

    Yes! I make Herbalife shakes (I know everybody hates Herbalife.....I'm not promoting, just letting you know what I do). I just add Starbucks Via Instant Coffee into my vanilla or chocolate powder. They are delicious and come in individual packets which are handy. I haven't found a good substitute for the Starbucks. I highly recommend them for shakes/drinks.

    I put coffee in my shakes for breakfast. I use isopure vanilla and I'll blend it with coffee and cold almond milk, ice, cocoa, and stevia. It's like a healthier, not-so-sweet frappe. :p

    I use click mocha flavored protein powder. It is actually pretty good. I have also tried pure protein chocolate with coffee, skim milk, and ice.

    I do enjoy adding protein powder to my coffee. Usually I'll mix the powder with about half the water I normally use so it's pretty thick and then add that to my hot coffee for a quick and easy option at my desk.

    Whey will clump in hot liquids... You can use alternatives for hot drinks (I use a flavoured collagen based powder), or make iced coffee/mocha. I've been having one most mornings - coffee, water/milk, protein powder, coconut butter, ice, all blended. Yum!

    MTS expresso macchiatto mixes really well with coffee. Flavors compliment each other.

    Protein tends to be cold soluble as protein denatures at higher temps and entropic effects make it clump, so although I haven't tried it I'm picturing a lot of floaty clumps rather than a nice smooth mixture. Iced coffee might work better.

    I have it most days with a but of whipping cream. I use a whisk or a travel mug I can shake. I don't use a full serving, just a partial scoop.

    And it is gross if your coffee is too hot. Yuck.

    I blend a little water or milk in protein powder, then blend in hot coffee to make a latte-ish joy drink. In the summer, I'll blend cold brew with protein and ice. It also works well with instant coffee. I use PEScience.

    I've never tried this but I might have to. It sounds intriguing.

    i've done it in a blender with chocolate protein powder and coffee. It came out fine and was very mocha like.

    I drink an iced protein coffee every morning. 6 oz. Almond cashew milk, 25 grams vanilla powder, 15 grams chocolate powder, a little Splenda. Blend, top offf with ice coffee in 26 oz travel cup. On Sundays I mix the same concoction and add it to hot coffee with no problems.

    Jim Stoppanie has a protein flavour called Caramel Macchiato, that's wickedly tasty! Haven't tried adding it to anything because i am just in love with its taste. <3 The only addition to it is unsweetend almond milk. So tasty!

    put some ice cubes in the jar before you dump in the coffee and blend it. Those whey clumps have the nastiest texture.

    This is a common quick breakfast or afternoon snack for me. In a blender bottle:

    1 c coffee (w/ ice if it’s still warm)
    1 c whole milk
    1 scoop Vega protein & greens
    1 tbsp Benefiber

    Hot coffee with protein powder is despicable. Make your coffee the night before and chill it, then blend in powder, ice, almond milk or whatever you like.

    Cold coffee at 6 am when it's 30 degrees and below is despicable.
