Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons (weighs ~15 grams) protein powder of your choice* (I recommend using a flavor that pairs well with coffee like vanilla or chocolate. Feel free to use any type of protein powder such as whey, pea, or soy. You can also use collagen powder. The only protein powder I would NOT recommend using is egg white protein powder as it can clump up in hot liquids.)
- 1/4 cup milk of your choice (dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, etc.)
- 6 ounces fresh brewed hot coffee or cold brew coffee (see recommended products above)
Instructions
How to Make Hot Protein Coffee:
- To a coffee mug, add protein powder and milk. Use a milk frother to whisk until no clumps are remaining and the mixture is frothy.
- While continuing to stir, pour over hot brewed coffee.
How to Make Iced Protein Coffee:
- To a tall glass, add protein powder and milk. Use a milk frother to whisk until no clumps are remaining and the mixture is frothy.
- While continuing to stir, pour over cold brew coffee. Then, top with ice.

Notes
*Sweetener note: If you are using an unflavored powder, you may want to stir in a bit of sweetener like stevia or monkfruit with the protein powder.
Frother note: If you don’t have a milk frother, you can vigorously stir with a spoon. It just won’t be quite as frothy or as evenly mixed.
Protein Powder note: See my protein powder recommendations in the blog post above!
