Should You Be Putting Protein In Your Coffee?
"Proffee," combining your coffee and protein shake, is the viral trend we just might have to get behind.
Protein is one of the best nutrients to preserve muscle mass, manage your weight, or support bone health. But if you're struggling to get 100 grams per day, you might want to start eating it earlier in the day.
Proffee—the viral trend of adding protein to your coffee—is an easy and quick way to get in 15-25 grams first thing in the morning, satiate your hunger, stabilize blood-sugar levels, and even out cortisol levels in the morning.
So how do you make this magic elixir? TikTok creator Jenna shares her go-to recipe, which has over 1.9 million views:

We aren't the only ones taking notice of the trend—protein coffee is catching on so much, Starbucks and Tim Hortons have rolled out their own proffee options like a protein vanilla iced latte or cappuccino.
Another fun way to try this trend is by adding different flavours of protein powder. Vanilla is always a delicious choice, but chocolate, coffee, and caramel are some of our next favourites.
These proteins work best in your proffee.
So, will you be adding a scoop of muscle-maintaining power to your next cup of joe?
