High-protein milk coffee drink
CALORIES
GI
POTASSIUM
FIBER
1 cup (medium) of Protein milk espresso (250 g) has 145 calories. That works out to 58 calories per 100 g. It contains 10.3 g of carbs, 15.5 g of protein, 4 g of fat and 0.3 g of fiber. Its 1.1 µg of B12 covers 44% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 32 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Protein milk espresso combines espresso with protein-enriched milk for a creamy coffee with a more substantial feel than a standard milk coffee. The milk softens espresso’s roasted bitterness, while a light layer of foam gives it a smooth finish. It can be served hot or over ice, depending on the season and your preference.
It fits naturally into a breakfast or an afternoon coffee break, whether you make it at home or order it from a café. The drink’s nutritional character is shaped by its added protein: it provides 6.2 g per 100 g. For a less sweet, lighter-tasting cup, skip flavoured syrups and added sugar, and adjust the amount of milk to suit your taste.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Make an espresso, then stir or pour in protein-enriched milk. For a hot drink, warm the milk gently and add it gradually; for an iced version, cool the espresso first so the ice does not dilute it straight away.
Not necessarily. Protein milk espresso describes espresso combined with protein-enriched milk, while a latte typically has a larger amount of steamed milk; recipes and serving sizes vary, so the names are not always interchangeable.
Yes, protein milk espresso contains caffeine from the espresso. The amount depends on how much espresso is used and how it is brewed, so drinking it late in the day may affect sleep if you are caffeine-sensitive.
Yes, but mix the protein powder into cool or lukewarm milk first until smooth. Adding powder straight to hot espresso can make it clump, and some powders change the drink’s texture or flavor.
Protein milk espresso can curdle when cold milk meets very hot, acidic espresso, or when the milk is heated too much. Warm the milk gently and pour the espresso in slowly while stirring to help keep the drink smooth.
Protein milk espresso can fit after a workout as a drink that provides protein and caffeine, but it is not a complete recovery meal. Before exercise, the caffeine may feel stimulating, though it can also cause jitters in sensitive people.
No, gently heating protein milk espresso to a drinkable temperature does not destroy its protein. Avoid boiling the milk: excessive heat can affect the texture and make the espresso-and-milk mixture less pleasant.
Yes, protein milk espresso works as an iced drink. Chill the espresso before combining it with protein milk and ice; pouring hot espresso onto the ice can water down the flavor and sometimes affect the milk’s texture.
It can raise blood sugar because milk contains carbohydrates, although the response varies with the milk and any added sweetener. An unsweetened version avoids extra sugar; people managing diabetes should consider their own glucose response.
Homemade protein milk espresso is best consumed fresh. If you have leftovers, refrigerate them promptly in a covered container and drink them the same day; discard the drink if it has been left out for an extended time.
