your favorite protein to add to coffee?
What is your favorite brand and flavor of protein to add to your coffee?
I currently use a chocolate flavor protein from Target that has 140 calories and 25 grams of protein in two scoops. I usually add a little under one scoop to milk, and then pour that into my coffee. I wish there was a protein that didn't clump when added directly to hot coffee :(
I have done some research, and know that there are some proteins out there that have 1-1.5 less calories per gram of protein, but they are much more expensive (the stuff I get from Target is under $20 per tub, the same size tub at GNC is around $45 but it has 1.1 less calories per gram of protein).

I use Nectar Sweets- I get it at the Vitamin Shoppe on 42 just before Burnsville Center. Yes, it's a little more- more like $35/tub. But the protein is better quality (more absorbtion) and it's about 100 cal for 24 g. protein and no carbs/sugar. I like vanilla, chocolate, and especially the latte. I nuke my cup of milk for one minute then add the protein so it starts off pretty warm. Then I slowly pour in the hot coffee. No clumps and 32 g protein/190 cal/13 carb. You could use hot tap water or other milk substitute for even fewer carbs/calories. If I use decaff I also count this as my first 2 cups of liquid for the day. This is often my breakfast, followed by a cheese stick later in the AM. I am so cold now, that I need that hot beverage in my hand on the drive in to work. I can't make the timing wrk to eat first then wait a half hour before the coffee...
Also, I'm on the Vitamin Shoppe's email list and sometimes I get good coupons. I try to buy my tubs wen I get those.

I make protein coffee every morning. I use cheap walmart body fortress protein. It is $14 per tub, 26 g of protein per scoop, and 140 calories. It mixes well with my coffee. I usually take boiling coffee to work in a thermal cup. By the time I arrive at work the coffee is the perfect temp and I mix protein at work. I let it sit for a minute and it becomes the perfect consistancy. It seems the clumps melt or something, LOL!

What?!
I am new. I'm hoping to have the sleeve surgery in January or February. I thought once you got the sleeve, coffee was not allowed. This has been a major issue for me. I've been trying to switch to decaf tea, but I love my coffee.
Soooo... you guys all still drink coffee? No problems from the caffeine or acid?
