Why Use Protein Coffee

Protein Coffee is a premium powdered coffee plus protein hybrid designed to upgrade your daily coffee ritual.

Fuel Active Mornings

Premium Arabica coffee and protein combined into one simple scoop to help you feel alert and ready for the day.

Build Muscle Mass

Each serving contains 20 grams of complete whey protein isolate, rich in leucine, the muscle-building amino acid.

Indulgent Taste, No-Compromise Formula

A café treat that actually fits your macros with no added sugar—so you can enjoy your morning ritual without sacrificing your nutrition goals.

Clean Energy Without the Crash

Protein Coffee provides 170 mg of clean, crash-free caffeine per serving, all while being free of artificial dyes, flavors, and sweeteners.

Key Ingredients

Our formulas are made with clean, natural ingredients, with clinically-validated dosages to support health and performance.

Arabica Coffee (Caffeine)

170 mg
The natural caffeine from Arabica coffee beans provides a smooth and steady boost in alertness and focus, just like drinking a cup of premium coffee.

Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate

20 g
Grass-fed whey protein isolate provides easily digestible, rapidly absorbed protein with minimal fats and carbohydrates, making it ideal for building muscle and accelerating recovery between workouts.

Arabica Coffee (Caffeine)

170 mg

Arabica Coffee provides a smooth, sustained alertness alongside a robust antioxidant profile, making it ideal for supporting mental focus and physical performance. It is a highly bioavailable source of caffeine and bioactive polyphenols, and is widely recognized as a potent ergogenic aid. 

Research shows that caffeine improves performance by reducing perceived exertion and delaying fatigue through adenosine receptor antagonism, increasing central nervous system excitability [1, 2], as well as enhancing muscle strength and power output by facilitating calcium mobilization and neuromuscular transmission [3].

Arabica coffee can help kickstart your physical and mental drive without the aggressive, jittery crash often associated with other stimulants. By providing a clean, energy source, it can help improve alertness and postpone fatigue, contributing to more focused and effective training sessions.

Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate

20 g

The quality of  protein matters, and whey protein isolate is one of the purest forms of protein available. It provides a high protein content with minimal fats and carbohydrates, making it an exceptional choice for building muscle and accelerating recovery between workouts. In contrast to whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate undergoes further filtration to remove virtually all of the lactose, making it more suitable for those who have difficulty digesting lactose.

Whey protein isolate is known for its rapid absorption and ideal ratio of all nine essential amino acids (EAAs)—which includes the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)—necessary for stimulating muscle protein synthesis [4,5]. In other words, whey protein isolate is about as good as it gets for kickstarting the muscle-building process after working out. By providing essential nutrients needed for muscle repair, whey isolate can reduce recovery time, allowing for more consistent and intense training sessions.

So, why does the "grass-fed" distinction matter for whey protein powder? The vast majority of whey protein powders are made from the milk of grain-fed cows, whereas grass-fed whey protein is derived from the milk of cows that graze on natural, pesticide-free grass pastures instead of feeding on grains. Grass-feeding positively impacts the nutritional composition and quality of a cow's milk and milk byproducts. [6].

Research has found that grass-fed whey protein boasts higher levels of bioactive whey peptides (e.g. immunoglobulins and lactoferrin), omega-3 essential fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and vitamins E and A—nutrients essential for inflammation control, muscle recovery, and overall health [7].

For someone who doesn’t like coffee but trying to

For someone who doesn’t like coffee but trying to get away from energy drinks, protein coffee mocha is delish! Not a strong coffee taste in my opinion, and when adding 8oz of Fairlife Ultra-filtered nonfat milk, it makes it have a smooth and creamy rich taste! I just hope that they keep it in stock for the subscribers!

Better than my usual morning coffee!

Better than my usual morning coffee!

I recently started looking for better options for my morning coffee after I realized how many calories I was consuming in coffee creamer daily, but was unwilling to give up coffee all together. My doctor recommended the Transparent Labs brand to me, and behold, they have protein coffee in my beloved sweet cream flavor. I was skeptical, as whey protein typically has a taste I cannot stand. Imagine my shock when I took the first sip of this protein coffee and it was actually GOOD. Like delicious, without the nasty Whey protein after taste I am used to from protein loaded foods. It also dissolves insanely well and leaves behind no grainy residue. I look forward to drinking this coffee every morning AND I’m not consuming an insane amount of calories in creamer. Overall, a win! I couldn’t be happier with this product and will be repurchasing!

I am very pleased with this product

I am very pleased with this product. It is a better option for my a1c. My only gripe is that the taste and consistency suffer greatly if you use water instead of milk which sucks because I really don’t need or want the sugar and carbs from the milk. I am going to give NotMilk and almond milk a try. But still far better than what I was using.

The protein mixes well with water or almond milk. I enjoy the taste first thing in the morning. It has enough caffeine to get me going. I've already recommended to several friends. The frother is a nice addition.

How To Use

1

Add Powder

Add one level scoop (included in the container) of Protein Coffee into a shaker cup with 6-10 ounces of cold water or milk.*
 
2

Mix Thoroughly

For best results, use a handheld milk frother and blend for 15–30 seconds. This creates a rich, café-style micro-foam at the top.
 
3

Enjoy!

Protein Coffee is best enjoyed in the morning, before a workout, or anytime you need a pick-me-up.

*  Feel free to adjust the amount of liquid by a few ounces to suit your taste preferences (less water = stronger flavor and vice versa).

Frequently Asked Questions

Protein Coffee can be used whenever you want to increase your protein intake while enjoying a delicious caffeinated beverage. Whether that’s as a part of your morning ritual, for an afternoon pick-me-up, or before or after a workout, the choice is yours. Whey protein isolate is quickly absorbed by the body and supports muscle repair and growth, so you won’t feel sluggish or tired afterwards. 

 

We strongly recommend mixing Protein Coffee with cold water or milk of choice to achieve the best texture. Whey Protein Isolate is a pure protein that can "denature" or naturally clump up when it comes into direct contact with boiling water.

 

Each serving contains 170 mg of natural caffeine derived from the Arabica bean. For comparison, a tall Starbucks coffee has around 230 mg of caffeine per serving, while a double shot of espresso contains roughly 120-150 mg. Our Protein Coffee delivers a strong, clean energy boost without the jitters.

 

Not at all. We use high-quality whey protein isolate, which is more finely filtered than concentrate, along with real Arabica coffee beans. This creates a smoother, lighter texture similar to a robust iced latte rather than a thicker protein shake.

 

Our Protein Coffee is designed to be easy on digestion and free from common triggers that can cause bloating or discomfort. It is also free from added sugar, artificial sweeteners, and unnecessary fillers that can disturb the gut.
