Protein Iced Coffee - Discontinued - Premium Whey Protein & Iced Coffees, 100% Natural Cold Brew, Zero Artificial Flavors & Sweeteners, 80mg Caffeine, No Added Sugar, 20 Servings, French Vanilla V2

Review of Javvy Protein Coffee – French Vanilla Instant Iced Coffee I'm about halfway through my first bag as I write this review. As someone who has been a fan of Javvy concentrate to make my morning iced coffee—while usually having a separate protein drink to round off my low-carb “breakfast”—I figured I’d give this a shot to see if I could combine the two. I had two typical caffeine/breakfast preferences in the morning: 1. A Trenta (30 oz.) Starbucks cold brew with heavy cream and no artificial sweetener (about 10 carbs for the drink), which is smooth and not bitter. I don’t like Starbucks iced coffee, but their cold brew is generally good. The cost is a little shy of $6 out the door. 2. I would drink a 30 g low-carb protein drink separately (about $2 each when bought in bulk), bringing the total to about $8/day, which would last me until lunch. Drinking the 30 g protein drink while making a separate iced coffee drink (sometimes using the protein drink as a milk/cream substitute since protein drinks are typically thick) using Javvy coffee concentrate—for a total of about $4.50/day. Since my usual morning coffee is a 24 oz. to 30 oz. drink, I've used two loose scoops of the Javvy protein coffee in the drink. This yields about 130 calories, roughly 20 g of protein, and 8 g of carbs (6 net carbs) for that two-scoop serving before adding any milk or cream. The package says you can use water instead of milk, but no thanks (okay, maybe I’ll try it in the future...maybe). I use unsweetened coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and before adding any sweeteners, it’s already pretty tasty. Taste: Smooth like cold brew or good iced coffee, with a nice coffee flavor. It could be due to the coconut milk, but I don’t get much of a “French vanilla flavor,” or perhaps it blends nicely with the coconut milk. If stirring initially with a spoon, you may find some clumps caked on the spoon. Licking that off isn’t particularly tasty but tolerable. Not doing so would likely result in negligible waste of protein powder. Texture: So far, I’ve blended this with a frother twice, shaken it twice, and stirred it vigorously with a spoon four times. In all cases, there have only been very small clumps remaining, which seem to dissipate before I drink them, or are too small to notice. Overall, it blends and dissolves very well, so you aren’t left with bitter chunks while enjoying your coffee. Caffeine: The bag says it has about 80 mg of natural caffeine per serving, so my 24 oz. to 30 oz. drink only contains about 160 mg in total, compared with a typical 8 oz. cup of coffee at 160 mg to 200 mg, or my Starbucks 30 oz. cold brew with about 360 mg since it’s not entirely coffee. I’ve never been perceptive to caffeine’s effects, so this doesn’t concern me, and it’s probably a healthier dose of caffeine than the overkill I usually consume. Cost: Since I’m about eight beverages into this bag, I estimate I may get about 12 two-scoop servings per bag for about $30 unless you can get a better deal or buy in bulk. While it provides approximately 20 g of protein instead of the usual 30 g from a separate protein drink, it may end up being a suitable replacement. Instead of $2 for my protein drink and $2.50 (or $6 at Starbucks) for coffee, I could just go with the $2.50 for a Javvy iced protein coffee drink. Overall: Initially, I was resistant to investing in the protein coffee (“$30 for a bag of coffee! That’s crazy!” I said to my husband). However, after trying it and doing the math, it actually makes a lot more sense for my frugality. Highly recommend!

Javvy Protein coffee is tasty and filling! I love making it as my breakfast to give me energy a fill me up. It’s easy and quick to make and good for really any time of the day!

This coffee is the best thing I’ve ever had, literally stopped going to Dunkin and Starbucks in favor of this every day.

I'm writing this review after using the protein coffee a couple different times! I've separated the review out between different categories: 1. Packaging - Solid packaging: it was shipped in an envelope style and didn't get any holes or break open through shipping - Bright, creative design that caught my eye as soon as I opened the package. It points out the important parts in bold lettering of 10g protein, zero sugar, & prebiotics - Important: The caffeine content is easy to find which some brands don't include. This is a big plus. 2. Taste - I'm very picky when it comes to my protein powders. I've tried many including some caffeinated ones from other brands. I tried just a scoop in water to get a feel of what the taste was like. It was decent, very coffee forward with just a hint of French Vanilla. This is better than other protein coffee packages since most have an overpowering sweet taste to them that leaves an aftertaste. - I've also tried this with 8 oz of Coconut milk & a cup of Ice and it made a very delicious iced coffee. 3. Overall Experience - This protein powder mixed extremely well without needing a shaker bottle. I just used a small glass bottle, and there weren't any clumps - I measured the grams of the scoop, since some protein powders will make the scoop too large so you use more product. This measured in at 17 grams when the approx is 18 grams. A great scoop that doesn't overuse product! - I let the coffee protein sit for a while, and there wasn't a lot of settling that you'll see when some protein powders don't mix well. - I definitely did notice the caffeine boost. I'm one that drinks energy drinks, and this did help as a pick-me-up without needing a full energy drink. - Overall, the experience was great! Considering that the product mixes well without needing blender bottles, and tastes like coffee with just water, it is a quick, convenient snack but a great base for iced coffee combinations using syrup, etc.

I really like this product. I tried with water and tried with milk, and as the “tip” on the package says, it’s definitely better with milk. It mixes a lot easier than many protein powders and has no discernible texture! Please note that it is NOT very sweet, so if you like your coffee sweeter, you may want to add creamer or a coffee syrup. Overall, delicious!

I love this coffee! I can get 30 grams of protein in one drink when I add my fairlife milk. I love the taste and it feels like a treat every morning!

I saw this protein coffee mix all of social media and people reviewing this item and stating that it is very good and tasty. I am a coffee drinker, I love all kinds of coffee, but when I say that this does not taste like coffee or even remotely close to it. That is stating something. I have tried mixing it in various milks and added creamers, but it just doesn't do any justice to make it taste better. I was a little disappointed as this item isn't the cheapest and I had high hopes for the flavors and the beneficial benefits that this had. If you are someone that enjoys the taste of coffee, I would suggest to stick to your morning cup and maybe drinking a protein shake, but if your someone that doesn't mind taste or anything then I highly recommend drinking this as it does have some benefits.

Doesn’t have the chalky protein taste. It mixes really well and tastes great. If you prefer sweeter drinks then you’d have to add your own sweetner

Excellent product

After trying a bunch of crappy coffees, this was nirvana from the heavens.

This protein coffee is good; not chalky and mixes well! Tasty and is delicious over ice, my coffee is between this and the mocha one.
