Protein Latte - GymBeam

Protein Latte is a whey protein that tastes like a drink from a café. With one scoop, you can prepare a mocha, matcha latte or coffee-flavoured protein drink with 20.4 to 21 g of protein, depending on the flavour, in just a few seconds. This helps support muscle growth and the maintenance of muscle mass while dieting.

Protein accounts for up to 77% of the product’s energy value. It comes from a blend of whey protein concentrate (WPC) and isolate (WPI) in a ratio of approximately 80 to 20.

Unlike regular protein powders, Protein Latte also contains caffeine. Depending on the flavour, each serving contains 43 to 87 mg of caffeine, which is natural, not synthetic. It comes exclusively from instant coffee and matcha. The coffee flavour therefore comes from real ingredients, not flavouring.

The caffeine in Protein Latte comes exclusively from instant coffee and matcha. It contains no anhydrous caffeine, which is an isolated form of caffeine.

Instant coffee and matcha each account for 8% of the ingredients, or 2.4 g per serving. The chocolate flavour combines 4% coffee with 4% cocoa.

The protein in Protein Latte comes from two whey sources that complement each other.

Both ingredients undergo low-temperature membrane ultrafiltration. The whey is forced through a membrane with fine pores that allow water, lactose, and minerals to pass through, while the proteins are too large and remain trapped.

Because the whey is processed using membrane filtration, it dissolves in seconds without lumps. We also regularly test the product for heavy metals and microbiological purity.

How well a protein can be used depends on its amino acid profile and how much of it is absorbed in the small intestine. The scientific assessment of protein quality combines both factors into a single number: the PDCAAS score.

It contains the full spectrum of essential amino acids and has one of the highest proportions of leucine among common protein sources. Leucine is the amino acid studied most frequently in muscle research. Research focuses on its relationship with the mTOR signaling pathway, which is associated with muscle protein synthesis.^1,2

Mix one scoop of Protein Latte in a shaker with 200 to 300 ml of water or milk. With water, the drink is lighter and the coffee flavour stands out more; with milk, it is creamier and contains more protein.

Best served over ice. This makes a refreshing protein iced coffee.

Do not mix the powder into hot coffee. Whey curdles at higher temperatures, forming lumps. If you would like a warm drink, first mix the powder with cold water or milk, then top it up with warm water or milk.
