What Is Proffee?
Proffee (protein coffee) is a high-protein coffee drink made by mixing coffee with a protein shake or protein powder. It’s popular among:
- Fitness enthusiasts
- People are trying to increase protein intake
- Anyone replacing high-calorie frappes and flavoured lattes
Using a smooth instant option like Soulistic Instant Coffee makes Proffee quick, lump-free, and rich in flavour.
Ingredients for the Perfect Proffee
Basic Ingredients
- 1–2 tsp instant coffee
- 1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1 cup milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
- ½ cup cold water (optional)
- Ice cubes (for iced version)
Optional Flavour Boosters
- Cocoa powder
- Cinnamon
- Peanut butter
- Vanilla essence

Step-by-Step Iced Proffee Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Coffee Base
In a small cup, mix:
- 1–2 tsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp hot water
Stir until fully dissolved to create a strong coffee concentrate.
👉 For a smooth, balanced taste, use Soulistic Original Instant Coffee — it pairs perfectly with protein without tasting bitter.
Step 2: Make the Protein Shake
In a shaker bottle or blender, add:
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup cold water
Shake or blend until completely smooth. This prevents clumps when mixed with coffee.
Step 3: Fill a Glass with Ice
Add ice cubes to a tall glass. Proffee tastes best chilled, especially in warm weather.
Step 4: Combine Protein & Coffee
- Pour the protein shake over the ice
- Slowly add the dissolved coffee
You’ll get beautiful layers — very café-style.
Step 5: Stir & Customise
Stir well before drinking. Add optional flavours like cinnamon, cocoa, or vanilla for extra depth.
Hot Proffee Recipe (For Cosy Mornings)
Prefer it warm? Here’s how:
- Heat 1 cup milk (don’t boil)
- Dissolve instant coffee in 2 tbsp hot water
- Blend warm milk with protein powder
- Pour into a mug and stir in coffee
For a richer, dessert-like version, try this with Soulistic Mocha Instant Coffee — perfect for chocolate lovers.
Best Protein Types for Proffee

Proffee Benefits
Proffee can help you:
- Stay full longer than regular coffee
