Your morning coffee and your protein shake in one glass: that's the idea behind this caramel-flavored protein coffee. Barista Whey Caramel by Vit4ever combines whey protein concentrate with real instant coffee and small pieces of caramel. No separate scoop of protein next to your espresso and no two glasses on the counter, everything is in one powder. One tub contains 908 grams, good for about 30 servings. Made for athletes and coffee lovers who prefer to drink their protein at times they already have.
The powder consists of 88 percent ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate and 7 percent instant coffee. This means a 30-gram serving provides exactly 20.83 grams of protein at 116 kcal. For comparison: you would have to drink almost 600 milliliters of milk for that same amount of protein. Whey protein is the protein that remains during cheese production and naturally contains all nine amino acids that your body cannot produce itself. Proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass. In addition, proteins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Many strength athletes aim for about 1.6 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, and then a glass with almost 21 grams counts for a lot. Add water or milk, shake it up, and your protein coffee is ready.
The flavor enhancers in this variant are the caramel bits: small pieces of caramel made of sugar, cocoa butter, and full-fat milk powder mixed through the powder. Together with a touch of flavoring, they lay a sweet, creamy layer over the roasted coffee flavor. The added caramel coloring does little for the taste; it mainly provides the warm, light golden color of the shake. The result is very close to a caramel macchiato from the coffee bar, only you get almost 21 grams of protein with it. Per serving you drink 3.11 grams of sugar, almost entirely coming from those bits; the rest of the sweetness comes from sucralose, a zero-calorie sweetener. This means Caramel is exactly between the other two flavors in terms of sweetness: clearly sweeter than Classic, just a bit less sweet than Nougat. And unlike a syrup, you decide how pronounced the flavor will be. A little less water gives a fuller, dessert-like drink, a little more water a light coffee. Anyone who normally drinks their coffee with sugar or caramel syrup will therefore miss little here.
Many people wonder if you can just stir protein powder into hot coffee. You can, but whey protein is sensitive to heat: above sixty degrees it starts to curdle, just like milk that spoils. This protein coffee therefore works the other way around. The coffee is already in the powder and you determine the temperature. Mix it with warm (not boiling) water or warm milk for something that resembles a caramel latte, or shake it with cold water and ice cubes into a creamy iced coffee. In a blender with some ice it even becomes a kind of frappuccino. By the way, the caramel flavor also does surprisingly well through oatmeal or in a smoothie. Good to know: a coffee moment that is already in your routine is an easy place to add protein to your daily total. So the same tub of protein coffee fits in your winter morning and in your summer training routine.
Whey protein concentrate naturally contains lactose. The recipe also contains added lactase. Good to know: the product does contain milk and lactose, so it is not suitable for a milk allergy. Furthermore, the recipe is kept short. Protein, coffee, caramel bits, a plant-based fat powder for creaminess and sunflower lecithin so that everything dissolves smoothly. And because there is real coffee in it, every serving naturally also contains caffeine. Most users therefore plan their glass in the morning or early afternoon, not right before bedtime.
In short: Barista Whey Caramel is a ready-made coffee with protein for those who drink sweet and creamy. You get the same amount of protein per glass as with a regular shake, while it feels like a treat. With one serving per day, the 908-gram tub lasts about a month.
The powder consists of 88% ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate. One glass provides as much protein as a large shake, at 116 kcal.
Pieces of caramel made from sugar, cocoa butter, and whole milk powder provide a sweet edge that you can truly taste, not just a separate flavouring.
The coffee flavor comes from the coffee itself. Just add water or milk, and your coffee moment and protein shake are sorted in one go.
With 3.11g of sugar per serving, Caramel’s sweetness is precisely between the other two Barista flavours.

Like a sweet caramel layer over a distinct coffee flavour, best comparable to a caramel macchiato or caramel latte. The base remains real coffee, so it will never be overly sweet. Prepared with milk, it tastes fuller and creamier than with water.
Yes. The recipe contains caramel flakes made from sugar, cocoa butter, and whole milk powder. These flakes account for 3.11 grams of sugar per serving and give the shake its sweet edge.
You don't need to: the powder already contains 7% instant coffee. You can make a complete coffee by just adding water or milk. If you want it stronger, mix the powder with a cooled espresso. Make sure the liquid is no hotter than about 60 degrees, otherwise the protein will clump.
Not really. A serving provides 116 kcal and 3.11 grams of sugar, significantly less sugar than an average caramel latte from a coffee shop. The sweet taste comes partly from the caramel pieces and partly from sucralose, a calorie-free sweetener.
Lactase is an enzyme added to the recipe by the manufacturer. Please note: the product contains milk and lactose, so it is not suitable for those with a milk allergy.
The protein source. This Caramel variant is made with whey protein from milk, the vegan line uses fava bean protein isolate from broad beans and is completely plant-based. In addition, the caramel flavor is only available in the whey line; the vegan versions are available in Classic and Matcha.
