Iced Protein Coffee

Why do I love protein coffee so much?

I would be embarrassed to tell you how frequently protein coffee is a part of my world.  I love the act of drinking coffee.  It’s a ritual at our house.  I love the way coffee tastes.  I love the way it makes me feel.  And I love the all the fun flavors I can use to mix it up.

When I first started counting macros and being honest with myself about how much sugary creamer I was using, I quickly saw that my old coffee ways needed an upgrade if I had any hope of hitting my macros.  That’s when I learned all about Protein Coffee.

To this day, most of my mornings still start with the traditional version, but with the summer heat, I knew I needed, and more importantly our MacroEd crew needed an iced option.  Thus Iced Protein Coffee was born.

Use 1st Phorm Protein in Coffee for Better Taste

We make all of our recipes around here with 1st Phorm protein because we like the quality and the way it tastes.  Most protein powders fail hard at mixing with cold beverages, so use other proteins at your own risk.  1st Phorm mixes like a dream with cold coffee in a blender bottle.  No need for fancy bullet blenders or anything.  That makes it super portable and easy to grab on the go.  You can even keep powder and a shaker in your car then grab a cold brew from Starbucks to recreate this when you’re traveling.

My Favorite 1st Phorm Protein Flavors for Coffee

As for flavors, I’m partial to Level 1 Chocolate Milkshake and Level 1 Cinnamon Cookie Batter, but feel free to experiment.  Kinda crazy about the German Chocolate Cake in this recipe too.  Any of the Level 1 or Phormula 1 flavors will work.

What is the difference between Level 1 and Phormula 1?

Level 1 will create a thicker coffee and Phormula 1 will create a thinner one.
