So after watching this video, I started adding whey protein (isolate) to my coffee:
I normally drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, so I only add half a scoop of whey protein to each cup.
I've tried adding 1 full scoop, but I find that the coffee becomes too thick for my liking.
Some tips:
Wait until your coffee has cooled down so the protein doesn't curdle or denature (apparently whey protein will denature at 72 C).
If you're using instant coffee, you can fill your mug with 50% hot water, and 25% cold water before adding the whey protein. This way, you don't have to wait for the water to cool down.
