Proffee (Protein Coffee) blends brewed coffee with protein powder for a creamy, energizing drink that supports fullness and muscle recovery. Popular on TikTok, this high-protein latte takes just 2 minutes and works hot or iced. With about 10–20 grams of protein per serving, it’s a balanced alternative to sugary café drinks. The key is frothing protein powder with milk first to prevent clumps and create a smooth texture.
