Some call it profee. I just call it protein coffee. Instead of using creamer, I have been using a ready-made protein drink in my coffee.

I’m in the throes of perimenopause. My protein intake must increase, and my carb consumption must decrease to battle the estrogen bulge. That’s not the real name of what happens to your middle. That bulge has already decided to take up residence. Now it’s time to fight back.

So I started drinking this coffee instead of straight-up coffee with creamer. It took some trial and error to find a yummy recipe for the coffee. Without further ado, here is how I make my protein coffee.
