Think of taking two of your most power-packed daily rituals and blending them together in one mug. That’s exactly what some coffee lovers are doing with cold brew and protein shakes. Before you dash to try this seemingly win-win combo, take a pause: A registered dietitian says there’s one key reminder to getting this energizing experiment right.
Cold brew coffee has never been bigger. And, especially as more of us grow aware of the benefits of plant-based nutrition, protein shakes and powders have become relatively common kitchen staples.
As coffee’s caffeine delivers the wake-up call you love and protein can boost your stamina too, our pervasive affinities for both of these have borne a social media trend that some users are calling “proffee.”
Yep, it’s what you think it is: proffee is basically a combination of cold brew coffee and protein shake or powder, blended together.
Sounds like a prime way to start your day, right? Registered dietitian Kim Rose has conveyed some advice, via Huffington Post.
