Protein Coffee

Hey Foodies,

Its me the novice learning how to cook. I found a wonderful easy way to get protein into the body early in the morning....especially in the morning when the band is way too tight to eat anything. I make my morning coffee and when my cup of joe get warm I add a scoop of protein powder. It taste like a latte. And I get 25 grams of protein to start my exhusting day.

I know that this might sound very elementary to you great chefs....but forgive me I am a newbie in the kitchen....but I feel as if I have just discovered the wheel.  And I wanted to share with other new or wanna be chefs.....my grand discovery.

Now, I am sure that you experienced foodies have improved upon this idea and I am so awaiting your ideas....and please be kind to me when you read this and try not to laugh too hard....we new cooks can be sensitive .....

Hugs Susan

 I have Click in the mornings. I absolutely love the stuff. It tastes great and I get the flavor of coffee and chocolate with the added benefits of protein. I think it's the only way to get started.

Happy Cooking!!

Hi Susan-

I make this every morning too. I use Unjury chocolate. I put a scoop and a half in a inch of cold water and add a spoon of instant coffee crystals, a little SF syrup (english toffee is good), and a little milk. I then stir it up and let it sit there for about 5 minutes while I blow dry my hair. Unjury has a way of foaming up a bit by itself if you let it sit there then you don't need a blender or mixer to get it mixed well. When I come back I add ho****er and it comes out perfect every time. With the milk and cold water I do not have to worry about the ho****er making the protein turn grainy from getting too hot.  It is so good and I don't get tired of it because I change the SF syrup flavors.

I'm glad you found something you like that is easy for you to do.

this sounds very yummy.....just what I need on Sunday when I am reading the NY times.....thanks but I am not sure what the ho****er is because it has been *ed out? And try as I might I couldn't fill in the ****........Have a great night....susan

How funny. It says:

I hope it comes through this time.

I have a scoop of protein powder in my coffee every morning!

IS THE INSTANT COFFEE CRYSTALS "DE-CAF".  ALSO, WHERE CAN YOU BUY THE SF SYRUP?  WHAT IS IT CALLED?
THANKS.

I used de-caf for a long time but switched to regular this summer. I buy Torani SF syrup at Smart & Final. They have another brand too there. It starts with an A. Something like Ambiance. I buy whatever is on sale. Cost-Plus World Market sells the SF syrup too.

I really resisted using it for a long time but now use it every day.

What type of protien are you using?  I have Nay Whey protien and I have tried adding it to tea.  Nasty.  It doesn't desolve like it should.  I also tried adding it to SF jelo and it didi nto mix well with that either.  Is it me, or the portien that I am using?

Help anyone!
