Notes
COFFEE VARIATIONS
It’s really up to you what type of coffee you use for your Proffee. I suggest using your favorite coffee you already have on hand.
Any of these will work:
Drip Coffee – Be careful when pouring hot coffee into a glass with ice as it could cause the glass to shatter.
Espresso One or two shots depending on your preferred caffeine intake
Cold Brew Coffee – Prepared store bought cold brew or homemade.
French Press Coffee
BOTTLED PROTEIN SHAKE OR PROTEIN POWDER?
The appeal to using a ready-to-drink bottled protein shake over protein powder is that it can easily be poured over your coffee, where protein powders need to be mixed in a blender bottle, shocked together, or blended.
If you are using protein powder combine coffee, ice, whey protein, and a bit of unflavored almond milk into a big shaker cup. If you don’t like (or can’t have almond milk) regular dairy milk, soy milk, or oat milk are all good substitutes.
The end result tastes almost the same no matter if you start with protein powder or a prepared liquid protein shake.
