Health Benefits of Proffee
Proffee’s potential health benefits come from its main nutrient: protein. How much protein you need to stay healthy depends on a number of factors, including your activity level, your gender, your age, your weight. According to the National Academy of Sciences, adult men need at least 56 grams of protein per day and adult women need at least 46 grams of protein per day. These numbers increase for very active people. Since pre-made protein shakes contain between 10 and 30 grams, one serving in the morning can help you quickly reach the recommended amount of protein you need throughout the day. So how does coffee fit into this equation? Part of the benefits of Proffee is that it makes your morning coffee—a daily ritual that is already a part of life for many people—better for you. Adding a protein shake to your coffee mix is a great way to provide yourself with extra nutrients in the morning. Many people choose coffee at breakfast and miss out on important nutrients. Protein shakes in coffee can add sweetness and nutrients. This can reduce the sugar and cream in the coffee and make the mixture more nutritious. Additionally, for people who typically work out in the morning, replacing regular coffee with proffee after a workout can help increase protein intake at the optimal time for muscles. Adding protein to your coffee is a quick and easy way to ensure you get a healthy dose of protein after a workout.
