Protein Coffee (Proffee), Decoded
It's the viral drink that turns your morning coffee into a 25 g protein hit. Here's the recipe, the real benefit, and how to not mess it up.
The basic recipe
- 1 shot espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 1 scoop whey or plant protein (~24 g protein)
- Milk or water + ice, shaken or blended
That's ~25 g protein for ~120–180 kcal — a great way to start chipping at your daily protein target.
Why people love it
- High protein, low calorie → filling
- Replaces sugary café drinks
- Caffeine + protein in one habit
Don't overdo caffeine: keep total coffee reasonable, and don't rely on proffee to replace real meals — it's a top-up, not a meal plan.
Easy variations
Use cold brew, add cocoa for mocha, or blend with a banana for a pre-workout. Vegetarian? Pair it with our high-protein veg plan.
