I just got some chocolate protein powder and a little single serve blender. I don't want to add milk, and I know water will be bland with it. Has anyone blended it with coffee? Does it mix? Taste good?

    I've done it, makes a good iced coffee drink.

    Yum! I used to have a scoop (or half a scoop) of chocolate protein powder in my coffee every morning. I didn't blend it, just mixed it in with a spoon so there was a bit of texture there but I didn't mind because it tasted really good. Blending might make it better if certain textures bother you.

    It works well with cold coffee. It doesn't mix well with hot. What I do is mix vanilla with a half cup of milk every day and add it to my coffee like creamer.

    This.

    I don't drink coffee whatsoever, but keep a jar of instant in my cupboard and mix it with chocolate whey when I'm feelin sassy.

    I find the powder gets gunky in hot coffee. I usually wisk some in 1% milk first then add the coffee to it.

    I have also used a little skim milk or water with coffee beans. I use a submersible blender to mix / grind the beans into the drink. Delish!!

    You do not want to mix it with hot coffee because the high temperature will denature some of the protein, but it is good for iced!

    Yes its quite tasty. Sometimes I use a single serve Nescafe Taster's Choice packet and shake it up in a blender bottle with my protein powder when I'm in a hurry.

    Most of them don't mix too well wtih hot coffee unless you first dissolve the protein in some warm water, THEN add to your coffee.
    I actually make almost all of my protein shakes with cold coffee or tea and chocolate protein....its divine.

    PS If you feel like a coffee splurge, check out drinkclick.com -- this stuff is great (even if its not the best type of protein you can get)
    I get it on amazon and usually use 1/3 or 1/2 serving on top of a scoop of good chocolate.
