Kev Tip
Blend or shake the protein milk first.
Mix the whey with milk before adding espresso. This keeps the latte smoother and helps avoid protein clumps.

Protein Coffee Notes
Do not pour boiling espresso directly into dry protein powder. Mix protein with cold milk first, then add espresso over ice.

Coffee / Breakfast Notes
This works as coffee plus a protein boost.
It is not a full breakfast for most people, but it is a strong upgrade from a regular sweet latte if you want protein with your coffee.
Best texture move.
Use a shaker bottle or blender for the protein milk. Stirring whey directly into coffee usually gives a worse texture.
