I was walking through the mall the other weekend and passed by one of those health supplement stores.

I always like to peek in to see what Quest bars they have available (they’re really tasty—especially the Quest Hero bars) but this time I was a bit surprised to see the featured product right in the entryway.

Protein Coffee.

I was mostly surprised because to my understanding it's pretty much protein powder, mixed with espresso priced at $35 for 15 servings.

I was also surprised because I make this stuff every morning.

So I want to share my version with you!

The ingredients are simple, and it has plenty of benefits. It’s similar to bulletproof coffee, but I actually prefer the added protein.

It's just coffee or espresso, coconut oil or butter, heavy whipping cream, protein powder (Isopure is a great zero carb option) and cacao powder.

My recipe always includes cacao powder for the chocolatey taste. Who doesn’t love chocolate??

The macros might surprise you for a coffee drink, but it truly is very filling and can easily be substituted for your breakfast any day. You should be totally fine if you plan for it ahead of time and track what you eat throughout the day.

Important note: this is CACAO powder (pronounced Ka-cow) , not COCOA powder. At the risk of sounding totally stuck up about this, I’ve come to greatly appreciate cacao.

The difference?

Cacao powder is made by cold-pressing cocoa beans, preserving the living enzymes and containing a higher antioxidant level than cocoa.

So here's how I make it!

I tried this, but used collagen powder instead of protein powder and left out cacao, chose coconut oil over butter. Great recipe. Thank you

This did not work, even though I blended it. The protein powder clumped together in a horrible mush.

You have to dissolve the protein powder in cool water first. Then add the coffee. The hi tense heat of the coffee curdles the protein.

I decided last night that I was going to give Keto a shot this week, but because I'm an endomorph wanted to add in a little more protein. Did a quick Google search this morning and found this recipe! It was delicious! I actually had chocolate flavored protein powder so I didn't add in the cacao but it was still delicious! I've found my new breakfast - thank you!

Putting protein powder in hot water or milk or anything hot really is poison. Protein powder should be consumed cold and immediately.

Is it possible to make this iced?

Yes you can ice it but would recommend using a bullet blender option of some sort as opposed to stirring the ingredients.
