Protein Coffee

What is Protein Coffee?

Protein Coffee is precisely as it sounds, high protein coffee made from premium quality grass-fed whey protein and organic 100% Arabica coffee beans.

This is one of our most innovative products to date. It combines all of the benefits of a high quality Colombian coffee with grass-fed whey protein.

Grass-fed whey protein is one of the most popular sources of protein out there. It is derived from the milk of cows fed on nutritious grass, as opposed to grain feed. Grass-fed cattle are allowed to graze at their leisure. They have heaps of open grassland to graze upon and explore as they wish. They enjoy a healthy and nutritious diet, as well as a higher quality of life. This, along with other factors, helps make their milk more nutritious and tasty, which in turn results in a healthier, more nutritious protein.

Combined with premium organic Colombian coffee, this is the ultimate supplement for anybody looking to enjoy the energy-boosting benefits of coffee, combined with the health benefits of a premium quality whey protein powder.

What are the Benefits of Protein Coffee?

There are a number of benefits associated with our Protein Coffee. Below, we’ll list some of the more prominent examples, as well as a list of the rest.

Promotes Muscle Growth

One of the main advantages of using our grass fed whey protein coffee supplement, is the fact that it can help promote muscle growth.

Protein plays an integral role in protein synthesis, muscle growth, muscle repair, muscle function, and muscle recovery.

Promotes Energy and Mental Focus

Not only do you have the benefits of protein here, you also get to enjoy the energy-boosting benefits of coffee thanks to the caffeine it naturally contains.

If you want to wake yourself up, or boost your mental clarity and alertness, protein coffee is ideal.

Rich in Amino Acids

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein molecules. There are more than 20 essential and non-essential amino acids needed by the body, with each one playing its own unique role in everyday health and physiological function.

Our grass-fed whey protein coffee is a great source of both essential and non-essential amino acids, making it perfect for anybody looking to boost their general health and wellbeing.

Higher Quality Protein

Contrary to popular belief, not all protein is created equal. A low quality protein lacks important nutrients and is often bulked out with cheap filler ingredients.

Our protein however, is made from premium quality grass-fed whey protein. As mentioned, grass-fed whey is derived from the milk of grass-fed cattle. These cows enjoy a better quality of life, much nicer living conditions, and a healthier diet of grass.

They are not fed with GMO-produced grains or other artificial feed, nor are they injected with hormones and antibiotics. This results in a much healthier animal, which in turn means it produces a healthier and more nutritious milk.

Amazing Taste

If you enjoy the taste of coffee, you’re going to love how this supplement tastes.

Not only do you get all the flavor and health benefits of coffee, the fact that it also contains grass-fed whey protein means that it has a much nicer taste than cheap and inferior whey protein concentrates.

Rich in Antioxidants

Coffee beans are also naturally rich in antioxidants, making them ideal for immunity and general health purposes.

Antioxidants help to protect our cells by destroying harmful unstable molecules in the body called free radicals. Free radicals attack the cells, subject them to oxidative stress and damage, and can kill them, damage them, or even cause mutations which could lead to cancer and other chronic health issues.

Not only that, but free radicals also trigger inflammation in the body, which can cause all manner of health issues, some fairly mundane such as headaches and sore joints, and others more serious such as those associated with chronic health problems.

Coffee beans are naturally rich in antioxidants, meaning they destroy free radicals, fight inflammation, protect the cells, and help to boost the immune system and white blood cell production. Put simply, antioxidants are very healthy and beneficial and the coffee beans we use in our protein coffee are full of them.

Other benefits include:

• Increases energy levels
• Promotes muscle mass
• May boost immunity
• May improve cognitive health and function
• Convenient
• High quality protein
• Rich in amino acids
• Promotes muscle recovery
• May boost athletic performance
• Improves mental clarity and focus

How Many Grams of Protein are in our Protein Coffee?

A lot of products out there tend to market themselves as being ‘high protein’ when in reality they contain fairly low amounts of protein. Our protein coffee however, is certainly not guilty of this.

With each serving of our coffee, you get to enjoy 20 grams of protein. That’s the equivalent of roughly 4 eggs, or a small chicken breast.

Experts recommend that the average person consumes around 0.6-1 g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Our protein coffee is a great way to help ensure you’re getting enough protein on a daily basis.

How Much Caffeine is in Coffee Protein Powder?

Of course, you can’t talk about coffee without also talking about caffeine. Caffeine is primarily the reason why coffee helps us to feel more awake and alert. It is a naturally occurring stimulant found in coffee that has a stimulating effect on the brain and central nervous system (CNS).

The total amount of caffeine found in protein coffee will vary depending on the serving size you enjoy. Just for reference, one cup or 8 ounces of coffee contains roughly 80-100 mg of caffeine. Almost Plain Whey + Coffee contains 144 mg of caffeine, making it a great supplement to use pre-workout.

How Do You Use Coffee Protein Powder?

As it’s the summertime, one of life’s greatest pleasures is getting to sip on a refreshing and cooling iced coffee.

Some people blend vanilla or chocolate whey protein with coffee, milk, and ice to make an iced coffee. We however, have combined whey protein with coffee to make it even easier to make your favorite iced coffee protein shake.

Simply combine the grass-fed whey protein coffee with ice, milk or water, blend, and you have yourself a healthy, high protein iced coffee that tastes amazing and is perfect for those all-important gains.

Not only that, but you can also simply add a scoop to a shaker cup with milk or water, and enjoy it that way.

When Should You Use Protein Coffee?

One of the biggest debates surrounding coffee protein powder, is when exactly you should use it. Some enjoy using it at breakfast for that protein and caffeine boost first thing in the morning. Others believe you should use it after working out because that’s when you’d take a post-workout protein shake. Some believe that you should take it before training because of the caffeine. Some even prefer to use it during training. They begin sipping on it before and drink it during their workout. That way their body can utilize the proteins and amino acids as they exercise and work their muscles, while also enjoying the physical and mental energy-boosting benefits of the caffeine in the coffee.

While there is no right or wrong time to use a protein coffee, just be aware that because protein coffee does indeed contain caffeine so you should ideally not consume it within 5 hours of going to bed. This is due to the stimulating effects of caffeine, which can cause trouble sleeping and even lead to insomnia.

Who Is It For?

What we really like about our grass-fed whey protein coffee is the fact that it’s ideal for virtually everybody.

People who are looking to increase their muscle mass and/or strength levels for example, will benefit not only from the muscle-building and muscle repairing benefits of the protein, but also from the energy-boosting and stimulating effects of the caffeine and detoxifying effects of the antioxidants in the ground coffee beans.

People who enjoy coffee and who simply want to be a little healthier can also benefit from it, as can those who struggle to physically consume enough protein in whole food form.

Basically, you don’t need to be a bodybuilder or professional athlete to use protein coffee, nor do you need to be a coffee aficionado. You could very well be a fan of coffee who’s looking to consume a little more protein.

Are There Vegan Options for Protein Coffee Supplements?

As grass-fed whey protein powder is made from whey protein, which comes from cows, it’s obviously not suitable for vegans.

The good news for any vegans out there is the fact that our protein coffee is also available in a vegan-friendly version. Our Vegan Protein Coffee is made from pea protein rather than grass-fed whey, and is therefore completely safe and suitable for vegans and those following plant-based diets.

It’s also a great alternative for people who cannot consume dairy produce, perhaps due to lactose intolerance.

What are the Side Effects of Protein Coffee?

Our grass-fed whey protein coffee is completely natural and is perfectly safe and as long as it is used as instructed, should provide no adverse side effects or reactions.

Perhaps the main issue associated with our protein coffee is the fact that it is a rich source of caffeine, which means that it could result in trouble sleeping. In a very rare number of instances, those sensitive to caffeine or other stimulants, or with underlying cardiovascular issues, may experience adverse reactions such as a headache, racing heartbeat, or sweaty palms.

If you are not sure if you should be using protein coffee, please consult a medical professional and get a professional opinion.

Who Should Not Use Protein Coffee?

We’ve looked at who protein coffee is suitable for, and have established that it’s for virtually everybody. With that said, there are some individuals who should not use protein coffee for medical reasons.

Those sensitive to caffeine may wish to avoid this supplement as it is fairly high in caffeine. As well as that, those with underlying cardiovascular health issues such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and other heart-related health problems should also not use this as too much caffeine can increase your heartrate.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also not use this product without first consulting a medical professional and getting a professional opinion.

Does Coffee Protein Powder Taste Good?

Yes, our coffee protein powder tastes fantastic! Any coffee lovers out there will absolutely love the taste of it.

In truth, you don’t have to be a coffee aficionado to enjoy the amazing taste of our Protein Coffee. If you simply enjoy the taste of coffee, you’ll love this powder, it’s that simple.
