Protein Coffee

So I really liked everyones responses as to how to make the protein hot chocolate, so I wanted to see if you all could walk me through your protein coffee.  I've tried a couple of times and it was less than appealing...  I did buy the Syntrax cappuccino latte, and I drank it today made with 8oz warm almond milk, no water, and agin it seemed heavy.  Just wondered if I was doing it right, do you all make it with just a portion of the protein scoop or the whole thing?

Thanks for any options.

I mix a scoop of protein powder with sugar free creamer or water making a smooth paste.  Then add your coffee and stir.  Don't ever reheat the coffee and protein powder, it will be a mess.

I use 1/2 & 1/2 and add equal parts water to begin mixing and adding the scoop of protein powder. Then I add hot brewed coffee over top and gently stir to mix. Always add hot on top of the cool protein slurry to keep the protein from cooking and clumping.

I use a full scoop in a "regular" coffee cup. When I used to drive to work and take a HUGE travel mug, I'd mix 2 scoops. And yes, it WILL seem "heavy" (thicker). 

I also mixed SF syrups with my protein coffee.  My favorite is a peppermint paddy (it's green).  I'd make my protein coffee with chocolate, add the peppermint syrup and it tasted like a chocolate mint latte.  Unfortunately many places won't ship the peppermint paddy in the winter as it comes in a glass bottle.  If you like hazelnut creamer, add some SF hazelnut syrup to your coffee.  You can use any flavor of protein - vanilla being a favorite if I want to add some other flavor of syrup. 

But I use Major Mom's method.  I use Unsweetened almond milk or full fat cream to mix mine with.  The key IS to mix thoroughly in warm or cool liquid then pour hot on top of it.  The hot liquid can't be more than 140 degrees.  Back in the "old" days I used to pour my coffee, wait for it to cool, then dump the protein directly into it.  Of course my coffee wasn't nearly as hot doing it that way.

I used the Syntax cappuccino latte mix with 8oz warmed almond milk to make the slurry & then added about another 4 oz ho****er from the Kuerig & it was really good.  The first step made all of the goo go away!!! 

Nice as always, great resource! Thanks!

Ok so I do mine a little different so I will add it in to.

I brew a pot (5 cup) of decaf.

I mix 3/4 scoop of mint cookie and 1/2 vanilla protein in about 3/4c of warm water.  I use that to "cream" the decaf. 

no milk or half and half.

I do sometime use all vanilla and a SF syrup.  Or a vanilla/chocolate mix.  I had some chocolate carmel protein once and that was good too.

So Price are you saying you make that mixture and then keep it in the fridge and just add a little to your coffee like cream whenever you make a cup?  Or that you add some decaf coffee to the entire portion of the mixture you made till it tastes like you want?

I know this is an old thread, but I'm looking for help with coffee! I used to love my french vanilla creamer. So since surgery, I just take decaf. At first, I added light cream and a splenda. I've tried other options to like my coffee - Silk soy vanilla creamer, sugar-free french vanilla creamer. The artificial sweetner is harsh on my stomach. I do use some fat-free french vanilla creamer, but I'm afraid it's too much sugar. I just feel like I need an option that I like. If I go to Starbucks, I do enjoy the skinny french vanilla latte. I need to try some of these coffee recipes - it would be great to have protein in my coffee! With the slurry, some use half-and-half and sugar-free creamer. I will try it! Any comments on my use of fat-free french vanilla? It really does feel like a cheat. I need to stop. The light cream is tasty, but it seemed like a high fat content. Just need some better and 'on-program' options. THANKS!

Not sure if you'll ever get this, but I hope you were successful with your coffee.  Basically Id recommend you make the slurry with a vanilla protein then add it to your normal cup of coffee.  Hope it works for you!
