Wheypresso Protein Coffee | 908 g | German Elite Nutrition

Wheypresso protein coffee by German Elite Nutrition

Coffee and a protein shake in one cup. That's Wheypresso protein coffee from German Elite Nutrition: whey protein mixed with real instant coffee. Per 30-gram serving, you get 21 grams of protein and 80 mg of caffeine. You can prepare it with water or skim milk, cold after your workout, or hot like a morning coffee. The protein coffee comes in three flavors—Caramel, Classic Coffee, and Double Chocolate—and a 908-gram tub provides about 30 servings.

What's in the protein coffee

The base is a 91% whey protein blend, consisting of whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate. So, two forms of whey side-by-side, both derived from milk. Concentrate and isolate differ mainly in their degree of filtration. Isolate is more purified and proportionally contains less fat and milk sugar, while concentrate retains more of milk's natural components. Mixing them creates a complete protein source with a pleasant, creamy texture. To this, instant coffee powder is added for taste and caffeine. With 21 grams of protein per serving, this shake delivers a substantial amount of whey, comparable to a regular protein shake, but with the added taste of coffee. For an athlete, these proteins matter. Proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass and proteins contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass. This is precisely why many people turn to whey after a workout.

80 mg of caffeine from real coffee

The caffeine in Wheypresso doesn't come from a powder or a pill, but from real instant coffee. Per serving, you get 80 mg, which is about as much as a regular cup of coffee. For athletes, this is a meaningful number. Many people drink coffee before a workout anyway, and here that coffee is directly in your protein shake. For example, take it half an hour before your workout, or in the morning instead of your usual coffee. The exact sensation caffeine provides during sport cannot be mentioned on a product page as European regulations do not allow it. What we can tell you is the amount it contains. Because it contains caffeine, this product is not intended for children or pregnant or breastfeeding women. Also, pay attention to your total daily caffeine intake if you also drink coffee, tea, or energy drinks.

Lactase for lighter digestion

The enzyme lactase has been added to the powder. The enzyme lactase improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose. Lactose is the milk sugar naturally present in whey, and it's precisely what causes some people to feel heavy or bloated after a shake. The added lactase breaks down this milk sugar, making a whey-based product significantly more digestible for many people. Furthermore, the blend contains no added sugar. The sweet taste comes from the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame-K. Good to know: due to the milk protein, this product is not vegan, but it is vegetarian. If you're looking for a plant-based alternative, a vegan protein powder is the better choice. For those who can tolerate dairy, the combination of whey and lactase provides a shake that is comfortable to drink.

Cold or hot, before and after your workout

The practical aspect of this protein coffee is that you can use it in two ways. Mix one 30-gram scoop in 350 ml of water or skim milk in a shaker. Cold, it drinks like an iced coffee after an intense workout, when you crave something refreshing. Hot, up to about 60 degrees, it becomes a creamy coffee for the commute to the gym or during a long workday. Above 60 degrees, the protein may curdle, so stay between lukewarm and hot. As it contains lactase, the shake also remains light on the stomach. One to two servings per day are perfectly suitable, for example after your workout and in the morning upon waking. The choice of flavor—Caramel, Classic Coffee, or Double Chocolate—doesn't change anything. In addition to your muscles, you also treat your skeleton: proteins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones.

In short, Wheypresso combines the function of a protein shake with the convenience of a cup of coffee. For athletes who prefer to get their protein and caffeine in one cup, hot or cold, this protein coffee is a practical and long-lasting choice.
