High Protein Iced Coffee: Where Coffee Culture Meets Sports Nutrition

What if your morning coffee could deliver 15 grams of protein, real energy, and fewer than 100 calories? That's not marketing hype — it's the actual nutritional profile of Herbalife's High Protein Iced Coffee. Let's break down how it works.

What Is High Protein Iced Coffee?

High Protein Iced Coffee is a protein-enriched coffee beverage that combines the ritual of your morning coffee with the nutritional benefits of a protein supplement. Available in House Blend flavor, it delivers high-quality protein, real coffee flavor, and genuine caffeine in a low-calorie format that takes less than a minute to prepare.

Key Ingredients Explained

Whey Protein: Each serving delivers approximately 15g of high-quality whey protein — one of the most bioavailable protein sources available. Whey protein has a PDCAAS score of 1.0 (the highest possible) and contains all essential amino acids, including the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) critical for muscle maintenance and recovery.

Real Coffee (Robusta Coffee Extract): This isn't artificial coffee flavoring. High Protein Iced Coffee contains genuine coffee extract providing natural caffeine. Robusta beans are known for their bold flavor profile and higher caffeine content compared to Arabica beans, delivering the authentic coffee experience you crave.

Calcium: Each serving contributes to your daily calcium needs, supporting bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling.

Low-Calorie Formula: At fewer than 100 calories per serving (mixed with water), it's a fraction of the caloric cost of specialty coffee shop drinks — which typically range from 250-500+ calories.

The Science of Combining Protein and Caffeine

Research suggests that the combination of protein and caffeine offers complementary benefits:

• Caffeine boosts metabolism: Studies show caffeine can increase metabolic rate by 3-11%, enhancing calorie burn throughout the day
• Protein increases satiety: Protein is the most filling macronutrient, reducing overall calorie intake by curbing hunger between meals
• Both support exercise performance: Caffeine enhances endurance and focus, while protein supports muscle maintenance and recovery

Together, they create a beverage that energizes, satisfies, and supports your fitness goals simultaneously.

How to Use

For the classic iced coffee experience:

1. Mix one serving with 6-8 oz of cold water
2. Add ice and shake or stir
3. Enjoy as your morning coffee replacement or afternoon pick-me-up

You can also blend it with milk, add it to smoothies, or mix it into your Formula 1 shake for a coffee-flavored protein-packed meal.

Calorie Comparison

Here's how High Protein Iced Coffee stacks up against popular coffee shop options:

• High Protein Iced Coffee: ~80 calories, 15g protein, low sugar
• Starbucks Grande Iced Latte: ~130 calories, 10g protein, 11g sugar
• Starbucks Grande Mocha Frappuccino: ~410 calories, 5g protein, 61g sugar
• Dunkin' Medium Iced Caramel Latte: ~290 calories, 8g protein, 38g sugar

The difference is stark: more protein, fewer calories, and a fraction of the sugar — all for a fraction of the price.

High Protein Iced Coffee is manufactured in GMP-certified facilities and tested for quality, purity, and consistency. Herbalife's 40+ years of nutritional science ensures that every serving delivers exactly what's on the label.
