Has anyone ever tried whey protein powder as a creamer for your coffee?
I am looking for a substitute coffee creamer that is healthy. I gotta have my java in the morning and was thinking that if I added whey protein powder it might also add some protein to my diet.
Sounds horrible to me, but if it works for you then go for it!
yes i have and it doesnt really taste like anything!

It can't hurt..Might make your coffee a little thick. But minute amounts aren't going to help much anyways. I've also heard that caffeine effects the way protein breaks down into your digestive tract. Don't quote me on that, but i've heard it. If your using it as creamer you probably won't get more than 5-8 grams of protein tops, so there's not a great advantage to it.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The only negative effect would be that it may thicken your coffee a bit. Also the amount of protein used in a cup of coffee would be so insignificant that it would not do much for your diet.

No coffee (ie caffeine) has a negative effect on your diet. I too drink a lot of coffee, but not before working out and not for an hour afterwards….you mmight be putting protein in, but you won't be getting any use out of it, it will just be wasted…

I havent done it with hot coffee but I will mix my whey with the leftover coffe and make Ice coffee. It works just fine but you gotta shake it so it isn't lumpy.
