High Protein Coffee

I was lucky enough to be sent this High Protein Coffee by The Classy Brand from Karthik Rajagopalan who is the founder. Kathik explained that in the US the merging of the two regular morning staples has become quite common and very popular and he had wanted to launch it here in Australia. Sounds simple enough. If you are heading to the gym, you have a protein powder, and you have a coffee, so why not combine this in one drink. 

So firstly, I love my coffee, I am a no milk coffee guy, so any kind of black coffee and I am keen, I have weaned myself off milk a few years ago, I am also a protein powder lover, I tend to have banana or salt caramel flavour, so I was excited. Firstly, you simply add boiling or hot water so no milk, that is a big plus in my book, secondly it is a single scoop and mixes in really easily, again another pet hates it when things simply don’t dissolve easily, and I am chasing around lumps with a spoon.

So I have it all mixed, to be honest I am pretty excited, now the taste ! Kathik has told me it did taste different, so I was intrigued, and the good news is for me I was pleasantly surprised. It actually tastes to me like hot chocolate, but not strong hot chocolate, it just tastes good, not like protein powder and not like coffee. 

But it does the job of both, firstly I get my caffeine hit from it and secondly, I feel content afterwards, in as much as I don’t feel the need for another coffee in a short period of time and I feel zero hunger. 

So, in my eyes this is a winner, I have been having one every day now when I am training and sticking to my normal coffee on rest days. That is how I took my protein powder so this works for me, but you could easily have this as part of our daily routine.

If you are looking for something different, don’t want to have to have two drinks when you can have one, I suggest you try it. I can see why this is popular overseas and being gluten free, vegetarian and no added sugar or colours it ticks most peoples boxes.
