Coffee plus protein can be convenient, but it does not need to replace a proper meal. If you are sensitive to caffeine or drinking it later in the day, use decaf and protect your sleep.
Notes
Bold coffee + creamy chocolate + protein = something that actually satisfies without needing that extra snack after. Nutrition basis: Protein powder amount chosen to supply the stated 15 g protein (≈18.75 g of an 80% protein powder), not an assumed scoop size; unsweetened almond milk and non-caloric monk fruit. Estimates use USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy and label proxies; ingredient weights and brands vary. Total carbohydrate includes fibre.
