Hi all.
I enjoy my “fat / keto coffee” in the morning - (coffee, coconut oil, mct, butter, cream) but want some ideas how to add a but more protein to it.
The fats are all good, but I don’t get any protein till much later in the day when I have a solid meal, so adding to this coffee would be good I think.
Any ideas / experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks
Add some protein powder that is lower carb? blend it up good and frothy! I like using a chocolate flavored powder for a mocha drink.
Or poach an egg in a mug in the microwave with a few tbsp of water and salt, eat with a spoon. Quick and easy.
Skip the chemistry set concoctions.
Fry up bacon. Eat. You get your desired fat and protein. Mission accomplished.
Sometimes I add several raw egg yolks to my coffee when I’m not planning on other sources of protein, but caution is advised when eating any raw eggs.
Great question - I’ve used the following before: Tara’s Goat whey (easy on stomach), Great Lakes and am looking to try Bulletproof collegen. Also, I’d either recommend investing in a small blender (like a bullet) - the attached method also seems to work in a lotech way if you use cream: http://ohlardy.com/easily-add-gelatin-coffee-tea/.
What are your reasons for doing BPC-style coffee in the morning rather than solid food? Adding protein would negate some of the benefits re: insulin response, autophagy, and possibly other stuff too.
trying to get my first feeding “on-the-go” and to get some protein also otherwise i find it hard to get my protein grams for the day eating it all later.
Not sure why it would have any effects like you suggest ? … isn’t the goal to get your personal calorie target with the ratios of fat/protein/carb ?
Thanks for this will try to find although I live in Cyprus and we don’t have so many of these products here.
The ratios are a side effect not the goal — carbs are a limit, protein is target based on weight & activity level, and fat fills in the rest depending on weight loss goals and satiety needs. This can end up in ratios that look like the various % recommendations you may see.
re: the effects I mentioned, those are some of the possible benefits from extended fasting periods, and I bring them up because a lot of people who elect to do coffee & fat-based extras as their first meal are practicing a version of intermittent fasting. But if you’re just looking at daily intake period, then nevermind 
In that case, for your actual question, I’ve added protein powder to coffee BUT don’t do it when it’s hot! 
It will clump and not mix at all.
Why go bulletproof when you could go ICBM proof? For a stunning boost to your morning wake up routine stir a tin of anchovies into your coffee.
Unfortunately I’m 3 days late for this post…
Ok thanks for that. I am not fasting so I get you.
So if I add the protein powder cold and blend it will it clump on heating or would that work ?
i tried that…it turned into a blob that i swear was growing in the cup.
you could always just do iced protein coffee
there are protein coffee powders too…like with actual coffee, not just coffee flavored.
i just keep my coffee and protein separate because the blob was not only gross it was scary 
Thanks. I’ll try the cold version next as the weather is getting warm now so less need for the hot drink I guess.
As long as you’re meeting your daily protein needs, it doesn’t matter when you consume the protein.
The advantage to only fat (I used Kerrygold butter) in morning coffee is that there’s no insulin response to pure fat, so it’s like fasting, but you get satiety from the fat.
I used to eat a high protein breakfast first thing, but now I delay it a few hours and just have my Kerrygold coffee.
