favorite protein coffee
This is a cold recipe but I like my iced coffees, so...
(feel free to change quantities to suit you, I'm pre-op!)
1c almond milk, Trader Joe's vanilla unsweetened
1/2c or to taste Trader Joe's cold brew coffee concentrate (I very scientifically dump some in. Yeah.)
1 scoop vanilla shake mix.
I have a thing for unsweetened or lightly sweet iced coffee drinks and gave up soda, plus the doc wants me drinking all this protein stuff, so this is my new morning beverage. 100-150 calories or thereabouts depending on how much milk you use.

I am 4 years out. I have been drinking my coffee with EAS Myoplex chocolate fudge ready to drink protein drink form walmart. It is like a mocha latte. I just make my coffee really strong. Then add half coffee half protein drink. Sometimes i will go get a coffee out and just tell them to put 2 shots at the bottom of a tall cup and add my Myoplex. Tastes great. I cannot stand protein powders.

I like using the ready to drink in my coffee because it can be reheated and if you heat protein powder it is nasty, pretty nasty to me any ways. Also since surgery I am lactose intolerant and if I use all those sugar free sweeteners I get bad carb cravings and no one needs that. The myoplex makes my coffee sweet enough and gives me 21 g of carb if I use half a protein drink (must use a tall coffee cup). So 2 cups of this is 42g of protein and 300 calories. I have half my protein for the day and my coffee fix
