"Protein is important; there's no arguing with that. To name just a few of its roles in the body, it maintains muscles, helps heal wounds, plays an instrumental role in creating and repairing cells, and makes sure our hormones are working properly. In other words, we'd be lost (and probably dead) without it. For obvious reasons, many of us try to incorporate it into our diets wherever we can, whether it's by eating more Greek yogurt or dumping protein powder into a daily smoothie."
"Everyone has their own way of imbibing this caffeinated beverage. Some of us line up each morning for an expertly crafted, artfully presented latte. Others just shake a tablespoon of instant granules into some hot water. But no matter how you drink it, there are sneaky ways to add some protein into the mix, some of which you'll hardly notice. It's worth noting that if you're already supplementing your diet with this wildly popular macronutrient, you may not need any more."
Protein performs essential bodily functions: maintaining muscles, healing wounds, creating and repairing cells, and supporting hormone function. Cultural interest in protein surged in 2025, prompting influencers and food brands to promote protein-rich options. Many people add protein through Greek yogurt, smoothies, or supplements. Coffee can serve as an unexpected vehicle for extra protein, with several unobtrusive options available. Small additions to morning coffee can provide a few extra grams without major changes. Protein powder is the simplest coffee addition and can add about 20 grams or more per serving. Excess intake depends on individual needs and requires calculation.
