Yes, you can absolutely mix either our Plant Protein or Grass-Fed Whey Protein with your coffee for a delicious and convenient protein boost. Whether you're starting your morning or fueling up post-workout, combining protein with coffee can support energy, satiety, and recovery.How to Mix Protein with Coffee
- Add protein to slightly cooled coffee: For the best experience, let your coffee cool for a minute or two after brewing. Coffee temperatures won’t destroy the protein’s nutritional value, but may affect texture or taste.
- Use a shaker or blender: Protein powders mix more smoothly when shaken or blended, especially with plant-based formulas. This helps prevent clumping and creates a better consistency.
- Try the pre-mix method: Another great tip—mix your protein powder with a small amount of room-temperature liquid first, then add it to your hot coffee. This helps maintain mix-ability, reduces the chance of clumping.
- Add healthy fats (optional): For a creamier texture and longer-lasting energy, try adding MCT oil, ghee, or a non-dairy creamer of your choice.
Important Timing Tip
Once mixed, your protein-coffee drink should be consumed within 60 minutes. This isn’t just about taste or texture—though freshness is important—there’s also a functional benefit, especially with Grass-Fed Whey. Our whey formula includes ProHydrolase®, a digestive enzyme that begins breaking protein down into amino acids as soon as it’s mixed with liquid. While this enhances absorption, letting the mixture sit too long can cause those amino acids to degrade, reducing the supplement’s overall effectiveness.To get the full benefits of ProHydrolase and the complete amino acid profile of your protein, enjoy your drink within one hour of mixing.

Will Warm Coffee Destroy Protein?
Not at all. Both Plant Protein and Grass-Fed Whey retain their nutritional integrity when mixed into hot beverages. While very hot liquids may slightly alter taste or texture, they do not compromise the protein’s efficacy or amino acid content.
