Turns out ‘Proffee’ is nothing but a mixture of protein shake and coffee that promises to serve health benefits in a convenient and delicious format. Also, the recipe is not new. TikTok has only reignited the trend. Currently, Instagram has more than 66,000 posts under the hashtag ‘proteincoffee’. 

Some of the most popular ‘Proffee’ videos across all platforms include users’ favourite ways of mixing the drink. While some get a large cup of espresso from Starbucks and add a flavoured protein shake to it, others try mixing syrups and caramel to their beverages.

‘Proffee’ is becoming extremely famous among fitness enthusiasts as it increases their protein intake with no flavour compromise. It definitely is a more nutritional choice as protein keeps you full for a longer period of time. One can also replace breakfast with this viral drink.

How to make Protein Coffee or Proffee:

Make a regular cup of coffee. Add your choice of milk and sugar. Get your desired flavour of protein shake. Blend the two well. You can also add protein powder instead of the shake. Avoid extra sugar or syrup to keep the calories down. Enjoy the trend!
