I've seen a few posts where protein coffee was mentioned.  This sounds like something I may want to look into- any recommendations on brands?  whats the calorie/protein/fat #s?

You can make it with any brand of protein powder by simply adding the protein powder to your coffee.  I like vanilla protein powder in coffee, but chocolate is good, too.  It works best to mix the powder with a couple ounces of room temp or cool liquid, to form a paste.  Then stir that paste into the hot liquid.  If you put the powder right in hot liquid, it clumps up and gets all icky.

Chike does make an iced coffee protein mix that I like a lot.  Click is another brand that many people like, but I prefer Syntrax Nectar cappuccino flavor to Click.  I think the Syntrax tastes better, plus it has more protein and no sugar.

It does sound good I might make some for my 12 noon shake! I would mix it like Kelly said I have read lots of people saying it gets clumpy if you put it straight in. Good Luck!

If you like iced coffee Nectar makes a cappuccino flavor powder. Yummy! I have it every morning mixed with almond milk, cold.

Protein lattes are my morning go-to. Like Kelly mentioned, I mix 1 scoop protein powder with 4oz cold almond milk. Mix it well. Then I add 8oz BOILING coffee. Stir, then add some sf torani salted caramel syrup. Yum yum.

You might try what I do in the morning.  I mix a little instant espresso powder in my choc. protein shake. It tastes like an cold mocha. You can find instant espresso powder in a small jar next to the coffee.
