I don't like my coffee......
I have never been a coffee drinker, but enjoy it in cool weather occasionally. I decided to try making a protein coffee as an alternative to getting more protein in and made it as follows:
1 scoop vanilla isopure protein powder
1/4 cup milk
(make a slurry)
1 pkt decaf instant coffee made with 3/4 ho****er
splash of sugar free davinci irish cream
mix all together
I was expecting this to be soooooooo luscious - - - like a bailey's coffee minus the alcohol. It does not taste at all like irish cream to me.
Any suggestions???

I have the Irish Cream also and I like it but it wasn't what I expected either. I use Nectar Latte and decaf plain most days, occasionally put a SF syrup in. I do like brewed decaf much better than the instant, which is a task since DH only drinks regular and we discuss who gets the coffee maker at times, VBG.

Andrea,
I make mine sometimes with Vanilla protein powder.
I use 1 1/2 cups water - microwave for 2 1/2 minutes
Mix 1 scoop protein powder in 1/2 cup Milk(I use Hood Calorie Countdown-less carbs) stir until smooth.
I put 2 tsp of decaf coffee in ho****er and 1 stick of the french vanilla splenda stir good and then pour the protein/milk mixture into this.
Sometimes I put a tablespoon of lite coolwhip on top of this.
I make mine in a soup cup because it is a lot of liquid. It takes me about 15 minutes to drink it all.
I usually use the Nectar Latte but like to change to vanilla sometimes.
I had to experiment to get the taste that I like.

I love to brew my decaf with cinnamon or pumkin pie spice sprinkled over the grounds.
Try a different protein powder.
Not gonna taste like our old favorites, but with the spice and coffee it hides enough of the protein smell that I can drink it easily. I have had a hard time getting past the smell of the protein powders, so this really helped.
Keep experimenting, you will find something that works for you.
