I love the idea of simplifying my mornings, so when I tried the Hazelnut Protein Coffee from Naked Nutrition, I was excited about getting my protein and caffeine in one scoop. As someone who values clean ingredients and fueling my body well, this felt like a great option.
First, the positives. I really appreciate Naked Nutrition’s commitment to simple, clean ingredients without a lot of unnecessary additives. The concept alone is a win, protein plus coffee saves time and makes busy mornings easier. Getting that extra protein boost alongside my caffeine is honestly my favorite part.
Now for my honest experience.
The first time I mixed it, I used water and just a spoon… and quickly realized that was not enough. It didn’t blend well and was a bit clumpy. I also tried adding it to already-made hot coffee, and that didn’t work great either — it turned chunky and didn’t dissolve smoothly. I also realized I don't need more caffeine because this powder is comparable to a full cup of coffee!
However, once I experimented a little, I found what works best. I made an iced version with milk and blended it with ice — and that was fantastic. The milk made a huge difference in texture and flavor. It brought out the nutty hazelnut taste in a really smooth way, and blended with ice it honestly tasted like a delicious iced coffee treat. Using a blender instead of just stirring makes it so much easier and much tastier overall. I gave some to Abigail and she loved it! She stated, "I like the nutty flavor with the coffee and this version of an iced coffee treat is super good."
Overall, I truly love the convenience of getting protein with my morning caffeine. Once you find the right way to prepare it (milk + blender is key!), it can be a really enjoyable and practical addition to your routine.
