WHAT IS COFFEE PROTEIN?

Coffee + Protein = Proffee...

It's a kill two birds with one stone concoction.

Simple enough, coffee protein, otherwise known as Proffee, is coffee with protein added to it.

Whether you take your coffee hot, cold, black, or white - add 1-2 scoops of protein to it and you've got yourself a proffee.

HOW TO MAKE PROFFEE...

It ain't rocket science. Kidding, but not really...

1. Brew coffee.
2. Pour coffee into mug.
3. Scoop protein.
4. Mix protein into coffee.
5. Drink it.

Boom. Easy!

BENEFITS OF ADDING PROTEIN TO YOUR COFFEE

Our bodies need protein and in large amounts, but sometimes it can be time consuming making sure that you meet your daily protein goals.

This is where protein powders save the day.

Use them to your benefit to fill the gaps in your diet or meet your specific needs.

• Protein keeps you satiated longer. If you're looking to lose fat, adding protein to your morning coffee can help keep you fuller, longer and help curb your cravings.
• If you're looking to build muscle, you'll need at least 1g of protein per kilogram of your body weight. Adding 1-2 scoops of protein to your coffee can give you about 20-40g in one cup. Use it to your advantage.
• Proffee = less liquid. If you're an early riser who works out before work, you'll need a post-workout shake as well as a cup of coffee before most of us are even out of bed. Instead of drinking them separately, increase your efficiency and decrease your bathroom runs with a proffee.

BOTTOM LINE

TLDR;

Coffee + Protein = Proffee

Easy to make, proffee can help keep you satiated longer, increase your protein intake, and help you cut down on the amounts of liquid you're drinking first thing in the morning.
