Two Protein Coffees, One Choice

Flavor and Sweetness

  • Unsweetened Protein Coffee: No added sweeteners or flavors. The taste comes from the coffee and milk-based proteins. Suitable for those who prefer a plain, neutral coffee or follow a sugar-free or keto diet.
  • Vanilla Protein Coffee: Contains real vanilla, adding a sweet, creamy note without artificial flavors. The vanilla flavor is mild and complements the cold brew coffee base. Still sugar-free per the ingredient list.

Caffeine Content

  • Unsweetened Protein Coffee: Caffeine content is not specified in the available product information. It is based on the coffee used, but the exact amount is not confirmed.
  • Vanilla Protein Coffee: Contains about 140mg of caffeine per serving, according to the product facts. This is a moderate amount, similar to a standard cup of coffee.

Which One Fits Your Diet?

Both options are free from added sugars, making them suitable for low-sugar or keto diets. The unsweetened version is the better choice if you avoid any flavorings, while the vanilla version adds a touch of natural sweetness without extra carbs. Neither product's label confirms whether it is gluten-free, vegan, or allergen-free beyond the dairy base.

How to Use Each

Both products come in a 5.3oz size and are designed to be mixed with water or milk for a quick protein coffee. The unsweetened version is more versatile for recipes or blending with other ingredients, while the vanilla version works well as a standalone drink. Neither product includes specific preparation instructions in the available information, so follow your usual method for instant protein coffee.
