 wow I just made some hot coffee and I was looking at my whey vanilla protein thinking I should be drinking this 3 times a day so my doc tells me. But i hate protein. I took a scoop and pored it in my coffee OMG it is fantastic no need to add cream but i did use one pack of splenda now i can have my coffee and my protein to all in one. I was told some protein might curdle in hot coffee but mine did not the brand i use is WHEY picked mine up at walmarts. 

I will not give up my coffee i love coffee.
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

I kinda do the same thing with my chocolate protein, instead of water I mix it with coffee(cold)  add a splenda and little bit of vanilla creamer and blend it with ice, it tastes almost like a frappacino

i do this too sometimes and it works well. my coffee is cooled a little with half and half. yes, i used half and half in my coffee every morning during my entire loss of 125 lbs. just tracked it and counted it in my daily calories. but skim milk would work to cool coffee just a bit before mixing in protein. i used to use a little whisk and it blended well.  works with choc protein drink too.

I do it with iced coffee. I'm sticking to decaf though as I got off caffeine preop and I've decided not to reintroduce it.

I cold brew my coffee using my Toddy (sooooooooo awesome and helps get rid of the acid too). Mix up my protein with almond milk and combo them together. Perfect for the heat and helps with the protein too.

Have you tried Click protein? I make it as directed AND add a packet of Starbuck's Via instant coffee. Warm it up just enough so it doesn't clump. I have my morning charge and protein at the same time.

I tried Click once and couldn't figure out why people loved it so much. I thought it tasted horrible and it left a weird scudsy film on the top. I was glad I had only bought a couple sample packs. I know a lot of people love it, though.

Like every protein product out there, some love 'em and some hate 'em.
