Protein Coffee?
I just make my regular coffee then pour in premier protein rtd from costco. The amount i add sweetens the coffee and adds 15 g protein. A protein latte sort of drink. It is so good. If i have a second cup and use the rest of the premier protein i get 30 protein in the morning. Almost 1/2 for the day. And it is so good and it is my coffee fix. I read where one person preferred the chocolate premier protein in coffee. I will try that next time. Sounds good too
I think most people are taking about adding protein powder to coffee, so the amount of protein would depend on what brand/how much you added. To add protein powder to coffee, put the protein powder in a cup with an ounce or two of cold or room temp liquid and stir that to make a smooth paste. Then stir that paste into your hot coffee. If you put protein powder right into hot liquid, it makes nasty lumps.
Click is a brand that makes coffee flavored protein powder. You can make it hot or cold. I think it only has 15 grams of protein. I like chike iced coffee, which I think is something like 20 grams of protein. I also like the cappuccino flavor Syntrax Nectar.

I have two protein coffee flavored drinks: Click decaf mocha and Synthrax Nector Cappuccino (no caffeine). I really don't like the Click -- I've tried to, but I just don't. Click has 15 grams. The Nectar Cappuccino (23 grams) is pretty good. I mix it with almond milk and have it over ice. It reminds me of an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts and has 23 g of protein. Like others have mentioned, I also have used protein added to my decaf coffee. I really like premier protein in vanilla used as creamer. Premier Protein is RTD with 30 grams of protein, but I only use a little bit so I am probably adding 3-5 grams per cup?
