Protein Coffee?

So I've pretty much mastered protein hot chocolate. But can't seem to get protein coffee down. I alwasy end up with big clumps of 'cooked' protein. Help!

I questioned this too after failed attempts. What I do is pour out my coffee and stick a candy thermometer in the cup. It only takes about 5-10mins to reach 130 degrees. I put my protein pwd mixture in a cup and pour the cooled coffee over it and stir......wella.....no lumps!!! (I do make a paste with protein pwd and milk...I add my splenda and even my Benefiber) Hope this works for you!!!

Where would I find a candy thermometer?

Walmart with the cooking utensiles. They are like maybe 5 bucks.

Thanks:-)

 Just about any store where they sell cooking utensils. Or, Unjury.com sells a liquid thermometer for $5.

Awesome! I think that is my problem. I was making a paste, but pouring the coffee while still to hot over it. Thank you!

I don't use the paste method for my protein coffee...no matter how careful I am I end up with lumps.  Here's my method

Hillery’s Basic Protein Coffee Recipe
6-8 oz milk
6-8 oz cold decaf coffee
1 scoop protein powder
SF syrup to taste (usually 2-3 tablespoons)
Splenda to taste (I usually don’t need it but your mileage may vary)

Directions: Add all ingredients to a shaker bottle (or blender/bullet) and mix. Pour into a microwave safe mug/container (my shaker bottle can go in the microwave, just remember to remove the metal whisk!). Heat for 3 rounds of 30-45 second, and stir between each round (for hotter coffee…go 45 seconds). IMPORTANT: do not try to microwave it all in one shot…the protein powder will curdle and you will have to start over (ask me how I know…lol). Pour in mug or travel cup and enjoy!

For the cold coffee...I use my 12 cup coffee maker and make a big batch of coffee and allow to cool...and put in a plastic pitcher in the fridge.  If I'm out of my cold coffee, I use my Kurig and make a cup first thing in the morning and then allow it to cool and mix according to the directions above.

I also have a blog post on my OH blog with different protein powder and syrup combinations.

what brand and flavor of protein powder?

you can use any brand you want....to be honest...I'm partial to the vanilla Target brand protein powder.  I get a HUGE tub of it (about a months worth) for $14 (Target's brand is a generic to Pure Protein I believe).
