Javy French Vanilla Protein Coffee - Premium Whey Protein & Instant Iced Coffee - 100% Arabica Coffee - Zero Artificial Flavors & Sweeteners, 20 Servings - French Vanilla

Review of Javvy Protein Coffee – French Vanilla Instant Iced Coffee I'm about halfway through my first bag as I write this review. As someone who has been a fan of Javvy concentrate to make my morning iced coffee—while usually having a separate protein drink to round off my low-carb “breakfast”—I figured I’d give this a shot to see if I could combine the two. I had two typical caffeine/breakfast preferences in the morning: 1. A Trenta (30 oz.) Starbucks cold brew with heavy cream and no artificial sweetener (about 10 carbs for the drink), which is smooth and not bitter. I don’t like Starbucks iced coffee, but their cold brew is generally good. The cost is a little shy of $6 out the door. 2. I would drink a 30 g low-carb protein drink separately (about $2 each when bought in bulk), bringing the total to about $8/day, which would last me until lunch. Drinking the 30 g protein drink while making a separate iced coffee drink (sometimes using the protein drink as a milk/cream substitute since protein drinks are typically thick) using Javvy coffee concentrate—for a total of about $4.50/day. Since my usual morning coffee is a 24 oz. to 30 oz. drink, I've used two loose scoops of the Javvy protein coffee in the drink. This yields about 130 calories, roughly 20 g of protein, and 8 g of carbs (6 net carbs) for that two-scoop serving before adding any milk or cream. The package says you can use water instead of milk, but no thanks (okay, maybe I’ll try it in the future...maybe). I use unsweetened coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and before adding any sweeteners, it’s already pretty tasty. Taste: Smooth like cold brew or good iced coffee, with a nice coffee flavor. It could be due to the coconut milk, but I don’t get much of a “French vanilla flavor,” or perhaps it blends nicely with the coconut milk. If stirring initially with a spoon, you may find some clumps caked on the spoon. Licking that off isn’t particularly tasty but tolerable. Not doing so would likely result in negligible waste of protein powder. Texture: So far, I’ve blended this with a frother twice, shaken it twice, and stirred it vigorously with a spoon four times. In all cases, there have only been very small clumps remaining, which seem to dissipate before I drink them, or are too small to notice. Overall, it blends and dissolves very well, so you aren’t left with bitter chunks while enjoying your coffee. Caffeine: The bag says it has about 80 mg of natural caffeine per serving, so my 24 oz. to 30 oz. drink only contains about 160 mg in total, compared with a typical 8 oz. cup of coffee at 160 mg to 200 mg, or my Starbucks 30 oz. cold brew with about 360 mg since it’s not entirely coffee. I’ve never been perceptive to caffeine’s effects, so this doesn’t concern me, and it’s probably a healthier dose of caffeine than the overkill I usually consume. Cost: Since I’m about eight beverages into this bag, I estimate I may get about 12 two-scoop servings per bag for about $30 unless you can get a better deal or buy in bulk. While it provides approximately 20 g of protein instead of the usual 30 g from a separate protein drink, it may end up being a suitable replacement. Instead of $2 for my protein drink and $2.50 (or $6 at Starbucks) for coffee, I could just go with the $2.50 for a Javvy iced protein coffee drink. Overall: Initially, I was resistant to investing in the protein coffee (“$30 for a bag of coffee! That’s crazy!” I said to my husband). However, after trying it and doing the math, it actually makes a lot more sense for my frugality. Highly recommend!

I love this coffee! I can get 30 grams of protein in one drink when I add my fairlife milk. I love the taste and it feels like a treat every morning!

This coffee is the best thing I’ve ever had, literally stopped going to Dunkin and Starbucks in favor of this every day.

Upon receiving my package, I opened my French Vanilla Javvy protein coffee and immediately noticed the delightful aroma. I couldn’t wait to taste it! For my first cup, I mixed one scoop and one cup of cold water- sampled prior to adding anything else and found it to be very bitter, it absolutely needed some creamer and/or sweetener. I added some sweet cream creamer to it and topped it off with ice- perfection! I could drink this every day except I can’t afford to. While it only comes out to a low price per serving, it’s just not sustainable for multiple coffee drinkers in my house, and for only containing 10g of protein per serving. Being I have a protein goal to meet, I was hopeful this would help add to my intake. The packaging isn’t bad but I feel like it could definitely use a better seal (maybe one of those slide lock seals). I have since had a cup every morning this week (and sometimes as an afternoon pick me up), adjusting the creamer and trying it with sugar free syrups and I definitely recommend this based on flavor. I even like it better than the javvy concentrate. I received my product overnight- it was on the step before I even got my day started!

I really like this product. I tried with water and tried with milk, and as the “tip” on the package says, it’s definitely better with milk. It mixes a lot easier than many protein powders and has no discernible texture! Please note that it is NOT very sweet, so if you like your coffee sweeter, you may want to add creamer or a coffee syrup. Overall, delicious!

Tastes great and I love the extra caffeine and protein.

I saw this protein coffee mix all of social media and people reviewing this item and stating that it is very good and tasty. I am a coffee drinker, I love all kinds of coffee, but when I say that this does not taste like coffee or even remotely close to it. That is stating something. I have tried mixing it in various milks and added creamers, but it just doesn't do any justice to make it taste better. I was a little disappointed as this item isn't the cheapest and I had high hopes for the flavors and the beneficial benefits that this had. If you are someone that enjoys the taste of coffee, I would suggest to stick to your morning cup and maybe drinking a protein shake, but if your someone that doesn't mind taste or anything then I highly recommend drinking this as it does have some benefits.

Doesn’t have the chalky protein taste. It mixes really well and tastes great. If you prefer sweeter drinks then you’d have to add your own sweetner

Excellent product

After trying a bunch of crappy coffees, this was nirvana from the heavens.

This protein coffee is good; not chalky and mixes well! Tasty and is delicious over ice, my coffee is between this and the mocha one.
