Coffee, Protein, and Energy: Why This Trio Works

Why Your Morning Coffee Should Include Protein

For years, coffee has been the go-to morning pick-me-up. But have you ever noticed that a plain cup of coffee leaves you wired at first… and then crashing hard a couple of hours later?

That’s where protein changes everything.

The Science Behind Protein + Coffee

When you drink coffee without food or nutrients to balance it, your body:
❌ Experiences a quick burst of energy
❌ Followed by a blood sugar drop (hello, cravings and fatigue!)
❌ Leaves you feeling sluggish mid-morning

Adding protein to your coffee helps slow the caffeine absorption, giving you a steady, sustained energy boost without the jitters or crash. It also keeps you fuller longer, so you’re not reaching for a sugar-loaded snack an hour later.

Why It’s My Go-To Morning Routine

For five years, my morning routine has been simple:

✅ The Roasted Purpose protein coffee (for energy + protein)
✅ A teaspoon of MCT oil (for healthy fats)
✅ A side of fresh fruit (for carbs)

This combo gives me balanced energy—not just a caffeine jolt, but fuel that lasts. And the best part? With all the flavor options we offer, I never get bored.

If you’re still drinking coffee on an empty stomach, try this switch. Your energy levels (and your cravings) will thank you.

Cheers,
