Notes
Note: The final macronutrient count will depend on your protein powder. I used collage peptides in the nutrition facts.
Storage: Store leftover protein coffee in a sealed container like a mason jar for up to 7 days.
Reheat: For warm protein coffee, gently reheat on stovetop in a small saucepan on medium low heat until warmed through.
