1 cup (medium) of Protein milk chicory coffee (240 g) has 139 calories. That works out to 58 calories per 100 g. It contains 12.2 g of carbs, 13.9 g of protein, 5 g of fat and 1.9 g of fiber.

Protein milk chicory coffee combines a drink made from roasted chicory root with milk and added protein. Chicory coffee has long been enjoyed in parts of Europe, including as a coffee substitute; it is naturally caffeine-free.
Its roasted, earthy flavour is gentler than many coffees, while the milk gives it a smooth, creamy body. You can serve it hot or chilled at breakfast or as an afternoon drink, much as you might enjoy a milky coffee. It offers a useful protein boost; the listed amount is 5.8 g per 100 g. For a lighter cup, choose an unsweetened preparation and pair it with fruit or a simple breakfast.
