Swap your Coffee Shop habit with Protein Coffee

May 31, 2025May 30, 2025Abby H.

Nothing better than an iced proffee in the morning!

I love coffee, but drinking an iced coffee every morning doesn’t help me stay full or get me to my nutritional goals.

I started drinking a Proffee/protein coffee every morning about 2 years ago. It’s a good way to hydrate and get vitamins and minerals into your system in the morning. Because yes, even though coffee has caffeine in it, it is still hydrating!

If you are looking for a way to kick your coffee shop iced coffee habit, here is what you’ll need.

Cold brew. I make cold brew at home twice a week. If you are short on time, there are plenty of pre-made store-bought cold brews available.

If you want to make your own cold brew, this mason jar brew system is pretty good.

You can also use a cold brew bag and a plastic or glass pitcher that you already have. I have made these in the past, too. It’s a small drawstring bag made from muslin and a cotton drawstring.

Protein shakes. I prefer the Premier Protein premade shakes. They are less chalky and don’t have the weird “protein shake aftertaste” that some other shakes have. They come in 10+ flavors. Atkins also has some great-tasting tasting ready-to-drink to drink shakes.

This is a nutrition label from the cinnamon roll Premier Protein- check out all of the vitamins and minerals.!

Additives like sugar-free syrups, sugar-free chocolate, or caramel syrups. Even 1-2 T of sugar-free pudding powder can give your Proffee a creamier, more coffee shop flavor and texture.

Ice– I have a tabletop ice maker. Having your favorite ice helps. As much as I love pebble ice, it goes so fast at my house, so this type of ice is better for cold drinks.

Select the right size cup for you. I have a 30-ounce Yeti that I love. I won it online. I don’t have Yeti Tumbler money. 5 Below has a great selection of Yeti and Stanley dupes. Heck, Simple Modern has a really good one too!

And finally, I love my drink frother for mixing up my Proffee. My drink frother gets a lot of use in my kitchen. Between mixing drinks and making pudding/mousse, I’m constantly cleaning it!
