Best protein powder for coffee?

Hi all

My favourite protein powder company has shut down, so I am looking for a replacement. I tried to make protein coffee with DH’s this morning and it’s a disaster (lumpy, metallic tasting etc.)!

Any recommendations please? I use vanilla to make a latte style drink.

Many thanks!

That's a great idea, putting it in coffee. Why have I never thought of that?!
Best protein powder I've found is Optimum nutrition Gold standard, we always get the chocolate flavour.
Now I'm considering how to turn that into a lovely mocha!

Are you using whey protein to make a hot drink? Apparently it doesn’t work well because the whey and hot water react. I was looking at coffee flavoured protein because after a morning workout I like a coffee and a shake so would rather kill 2 birds with one stone! Not ordered any yet though.

oooo following. I use a vanilla flavoured protein powder (PhD Diet Whey or whatever I find in Holland & Barrett) & I always have a nice Caffe Nero (or Pret) cappuccino after a tough work out. I was only thinking yesterday I should mix the two.

I put Ancient & Brave True Collagen in my coffee with cream every morning - delicious!

You need to use collagen as @ChocolateGanache said. Normal whey based protein powders do not do well when you add heat as I found out to my horror when I mixed mine with my porridge oat before heating, they were 🤢.
Bulk sell collagen coffee but I found the flavoured ones were far too sweet and had a really nasty aftertaste from the high levels of artificial sweetener. Not sure if anyone has found a nicer brand.

I just buy vanilla protein shakes and pour that in instead of milk.
