So we're clearly addicted to Chike coffee Protein at our house and my husband and I start the morning with one. The only problem is, it's expensive compared to other protein powders, and I was wondering if anyone had found an equally good alternative that's regularly priced (e.g., $50 for 5 lb jar rather than Chike's 35 for one pound).

I tried Click Mocha and didn't like it as much but wondering about some of the others for taste?

I buy GNC Optimum Nutrition protein shakes in coffee flavor. I get it in the 5 pound tub, 72 servings for $65 on Amazon.

I have never heard of this but often wish I could have protein in my coffee drink!!! I will definately be trying this!

I also take a 8 ounce glass of iced coffee, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder, a little splenda and sugar free creamer & serve over ice. Nom nom nom!

Chike is my fave, but evry morning i have a cup of iced coffee mixed with a vanilla premiere RTD. 30 g protein, and being a RTD it mixes well with the coffee and is smooth. Also, the ice cubes are coffee - I use left over coffee in an ice cube tray for the next morning's ice cubes. So it is never watered down

Chike is awesome but this is a close second!

I should mention that the GNC ON mixes really well. Very smooth, even with ice & without a shaker cup.

does it have a fairly prominent coffee flavor? the reviews on amazon for that brand are exceptional.

That's so funny, I just told my husband we should try that because we've got all these RTD's sitting around from pre-op that we haven't used. Definitely worth trying. Thanks so much for explaining how you do it.

Oh it's so good! We make it with 4 oz of soy milk, 1 scoop of chike coffee, 1 shot of espresso, and some ice all blended together. Nice way to start the day.

We call it a protein-ccino!

Oh yes. I love it & so does my fiance.

Chike is Chike...nothing like it

I started with Chike, then because of the price went to Fit Frappe and now Java Pro but i think the best is my own coffee blended with unflavored, vanilla or sometimes even chocolate protein powder. Sometimes I brew coffee the night before and refrigerate it and sometimes I make the cold coffee concentrate you often see on the Internet. My most favorite is Keurig Donut House iced coffee chilled and then blended with NOW unflavored protein and some ice. I keep a few of those little rubbermaid 1/2 cup containers always filled with a scoop of unflavored powder because a few times I have had to run out of the house in a hurry and all I had to do was grab my shaker bottle and my little container of powder and buy iced coffee somewhere to mix with it.

Insomnia before surgery this morning & this coffee/protein drink sounds so good! How soon after surgery could you have real coffee? Guess they won't put it in my IV lol....

Good luck today! I tried the chike 2 weeks after surgery and it was a big mistake. The caffeine really made my stomach hurt. Don't be in a hurry, give it 3-4 weeks before you try it.

Let us know how you're doing after the surgery!

This seems to be what is working for everyone so I ordered some vanilla Protein Powder. We have a Nespresso so getting a nice shot of espresso into it will be easy.
