Keto Iced Protein Coffee

As I write this, summer is here in full swing.  Overnight, it went from 75 to 95 here in St. Louis and my poor body is still adjusting.

While it is super hot here, one of the things that I've noticed is that it still gets pretty cool here at night, and at 5:00 am when I wake up every morning, so hot cup of coffee sounds pretty darn good, and does a great job of waking me up.

Until it hits about 85.

Then, a warm cup of coffee sounds like the worst thing in the world, but I still need the jolt of caffeine to wake me up if I want to get anything productive done for the day.

Any other caffeine addicts out there?

So naturally, I've turned to things like cold-brewed coffee.  It's delicious, and if you haven't tried cold brewing your coffee yet, I highly suggest you try it.

Skipped my workout this morning in favor of sleeping in, hydrating, getting starbucks, and going to the park. . Its been an incredibly stressful, unplanned, disorganized, hot week. And even with the good news from my doctor I'm still feeling overwhelmed. . So, I skipped. . And thats ok. . So there's your lesson for this weekend: its ok to rest ❤️ . In other news, I'm planning to go on stories later to show you my hair test results and what they mean. . Also, I published my Dairy Free Jalapeno Poppers recipe yesterday, and you should definitely check that out! . . . . . . . #ketorecipe⁣ #ketolifestyle #ketogenic #ketolife #lowcarbfood #ketogeniclifestyle #hflc #lowcarbs #highfat #banting #nocarbs #ketosis #ketodiet #ketoadapted #atkins #ketogenicdiet #ketofam #lowcarbdiet #sugaraddict #sugarfree #ketosisterhood #thickfit#girlswholift #supershredded8#highfatlowcarb #lowcarb #fullfat #jymarmy#leangains

A post shared by gretchen – 🥑 keto recipes 🥥 (@fitmomjourneythm) on May 24, 2019 at 8:51am PDT

There's just one little problem left: during the summer I really don't feel like eating breakfast.  On a normal winter day, breakfast is a 5:30, and I'm ravenous.  I think my system needs to food to warm up, and if I haven't eaten I get super hangry and get a killer headache.

During the summer, not so much.

I can go without eating until 10 or 11am, and even then I'm still not hungry, I just start getting a headache.

So naturally, I've been trying to find the most convenient way to get some protein, at the very least, into my system early in the morning, when I don't feel like eating at all.  When the thought of food turns my stomach.

After quite a bit of experimenting, I've landed on the perfect drink.  It combines the power of a bulletproof coffee with the coldness you need to begin a hot summer day, and boasts 30+ grams of protein.  It's a rockstar of a coffee drink, tastes like a dream, and now that I've landed on the perfect mixture,  I just have to share it with you!

What Makes Iced Protein Coffee So Great

Besides the caffeine ( a given) there are a few powerhouse ingredients that make this drink one of the best ways to start your morning.

Collagen

Heralded as a food wonder by just about everyone now, not only does collagen pack the power to restore hair, skin, and nails, it it made up almost purely of protein, and it's one of the best types of protein for you.

I've used a couple of brands I've been happy with:

Perfect Keto Flavored CollagenPerfect Keto Collagen

Custom Collagen (5-lb box for power users)

Custom Collagen

Whey Protein

Undenatured, of course.  To start your digestive system off with something to work with.

There are two main types I've used and loved:

Perfect Keto Whey Protein

Naked Whey (unflavored)

Almond/Cashew/Regular Milk

You can, of course do a plain iced coffee, but a bit of milk, as fits your dietary needs, really rounds out the drinks and makes it whole, as well as providing a nice dose of calcium and vitamins.

Choose an unsweetened version with as few ingredients as possible.  

My personal favorites are:

Califia Farms

Aldi's Unsweetened Original Almond Milk

and of course, homemade Almond Milk

Making Your Iced Protein Coffee Perfect

Now, I'm going to include these instructions in the printable recipe below, but I want to go into them in more detail with you here, because even though the process to make this drink isn't at all complicated, it is important that you follow the instructions, or it will not be good.

Like, chunks of collagen and protein in your straw not good.

Really, truly, not good.

But don't let that scare you – you'll soon get the hang of it!

First, you'll need to start with hot coffee. I know, I promised cold coffee, and it will be in the finished product, but for now, start the drink with hot coffee.  8oz will do the trick.

I like to use instant coffee, simply because everything else will mask the cheap coffee taste, but you can brew better coffee if you wish.

Put the 8oz of hot, brewed coffee in a large (24 – 32oz) hot/cold tumbler.  Stir in 1 scoop of collagen slowly until it is dissolved in the hot coffee.

Now, add ice cubes until the tumbler is about 2/3 full, and stir until the coffee is cold.  Now, mix in either 2 doonks of pure stevia, or 1 T Super Sweet (or sweetener of choice), whatever your taste preference + 1 scoop Whey Protein.  Stir thoroughly, or shake to combine completely so there are no lumps.  Fill with your choice of milk to the top and enjoy!

Why do we add the ingredients this way?

The most important steps to this drink are adding the collagen when the coffee is hot, and the protein powder when it is cold.

If you add the protein powder when the coffee is warm, it will clump up, and there will be no saving it.

And if you add the collagen when the drink is cold, it's really, really hard to dissolve.

Trust me on this.

Don't waste your collagen or protein powder by adding them to the wrong temperature coffee – please!

    Have you experimented with adding flavors to this (such as vanilla)?

    Also, I am allergic to almonds, so almond milk is a no go. Would using skim milk or unsweetened soy milk be an option?

    Thanks 🙂

    What a great recipe! I lost my early morning appetite with the summer heat too. This is a great way to get something in your stomach even when you’re not hungry! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be trying this ASAP!

    What is the measurement of “one scoop” of both the collagen and protein powder? Example: 1 tbsp, 2 tbsp, 2 tsp. My collagen doesn’t have a scooper in it, and it seems like proteins powders come with different size scoops. Thanks much!! I’m going to make this!

    Wow that coffee looks so good! I’m not much of a coffee drinker (but I do enjoy the smell of coffee), but my husband is an occasional coffee drinker and he especially loves Iced Coffee. I can’t wait to share this one with him. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for clarifying on how to mix the powders, hot vs. cold! It seems simple, but if you haven’t done it before, it is frustrating to get it wrong. This sounds yummy, and a perfect start to my *very* early workdays, when I don’t want to eat at 5 am!

    I was reading this and nodding along because I know the struggle of sipping up chunks of collagen through a straw. SO GROSS!
    Thanks for the recipe and instructions – I do collagen and almond/cashew milk in my coffee every morning but was wondering if I could incorporate protein powder then too 🙂 Have a great day!

    My thought would be after the collegen is dissolved, put all of the ingredients into a bullet, blender, or Ninja and blend it up! That’s how I make my bulletproof coffee every day. Hot coffee blended with Kerrygold grass-fed butter, 1tbsp coconut oil, a packet of Pyure Stevia, a drop or 3 of vanilla and a healthy shake of Ceylon cinnamon. Take it for a good spin in the ole Ninja, and you have the perfect cuppa joe! But now I want to try yours!

    Can this be made the night before and stored in the fridge? Or will stuff clump up again?

      I won’t necessarily clump, but I may taste a bit “slimy” if made and up too early.
