I've stumbled upon this on accident when shopping around for protein and energy supplements, but never expected to find a protein and energy supplement in ONE product! I use whey, casein, a pre-workout, and BCAA's and my casein and pre-workout are from the Optimum Nutrition brand, so I definitely trust this brand for my supplements. When I found this product I was immediately intrigued because I had been having a hard time kicking my flavored creamer habit, despite several attempts to replace it with healthier options. Since I live in Florida, I tend to drink iced coffee everyday because it's always so hot. Specifically, I buy the SB unsweetened iced coffee from the grocery store and it's 10 calories and 0g of sugar per 8oz serving. This protein energy mix is only 50 calories 0.5g of sugar, and 10g of protein for ONE scoop, that's all I needed to "flavor" my iced coffee in the morning. I haven't tried two scoops, but I will eventually, maybe on a morning where I got little sleep the night before. Since I'm on the go in the morning, I pour my iced coffee in a shaker bottle, about 12oz, one scoop of this protein energy mix, and shake away. I no longer need flavored creamer, milk, sugar, etc. This is enough for flavor and sweetness, plus the added protein is a huge bonus as I try to get extra protein wherever I can.
I chose the Vanilla Latte flavor based on the reviews, but I may try the Cinnamon Bun flavor in the future as I've read people love it for protein pancake and waffle recipes. I have NOT tried this mixed in with hot coffee or mixed in with water or milk, so I can't give any feedback on those options. But with most protein powders, you have room to get creative as long as you choose a versatile flavor.
In regards to added energy, this isn't something that's going to make you edgy or jittery by any means, but I did feel more awake than just drinking my coffee alone and that's yet another bonus to mixing this with my coffee everyday. Overall, I highly recommend this product and will continue to use it everyday, long term.
****UPDATE****
I now do two scoops of this with just 12oz of ice water and I love it, it's basically iced coffee but I get 20g of protein with only 1g of sugar! Perfect! I've repurchased this at least 3 or more times.

What Modern Man do instead of coffee to dominate the day.
1 (sometimes 1 and 1/2) scoop of O.N. Protein Energy and 1 capsule of Modern Man, Testosterone Boosting Thermogenic Fat Burner Designed for Increasing Lean Muscle and Accelerating Fat Loss while Enhancing Focus (Get in the Zone) and Reducing Stress, Scientifically Advanced Ingredients Promote the Ideal Male Physique, 60 Capsules is the perfect way to dominate the day! It's all I know at this point... The combo of the clean energy and the focus is actually unbelievable and it pushes my productivity through the roof.Protein Energy is just a flat out better alternative to coffee and it tastes amazing. Every body knows Optimum makes the absolute best protein on the market so I have no doubt about the quality. On top of a morning wake me up, it's helping me reach my daily protein quota... I've also been doing the Modern Man + Protein Energy combo before the gym on chest days.Give it a go!
