Ok, I've been thinking about doing this for awhile and finally pulled the trigger on this today. I made my usual shake but added a teaspoon of instant coffee crystals. Here's the recipe I use:

1 Scoop Universal Pro & Oats
2 Cups Skim Milk
1 Tablespoon Natural Peanut Butter
2 Teaspoons Clear-Mixing Fiber
1 Teaspoon Instant Coffee (New Today)

Add ingredients and mix in a blender.

Shit was delicious, and the caffeine felt good. Coffee taste was there, but not overwhelming...went nicely with the chocolate and peanut butter flavor.

I don't know if anyone else does this with the coffee, but I figured I would share it. I love the taste of coffee, but the shit tears up my stomach if I drink it. So, I think this is a happy medium.

Definitely going to give that a try, might have to cut out the peanut butter tho, cappuccino and peanut butter don't think that will do well with me.

I do a similar version, but I use instant espresso. Because it's a lot stronger and I get more coffee taste. So if you want it with a little extra kick, try this, but it does have a strong flavor, just to warn you.

I do the same aside from the peanut butter and fiber pre workout. A little bit of coffee with whey and some milk 45 minutes pre workout and your good to go.

What is you add creatine to your shake?

I'm sure I heard it's not good to mix creatine with caffeine.

I get my creatine from Animal Pump. That being said, I know some shakes have creatine. The old Animal Max protein (in that sweet metal can with the death-frisbee lid, lol) had creatine in it. Alot of creatine is from food though, so if you're eating right it doesn't need to be supplemented too much.

I think it's ok to mix the two. Pump has the red pill which has a generous dose of caffeine.

Sorry folks, I meant What IF you add creatine to your shake.

Taken me a bit to twig my spelling mistake, but I've been a touch busy the last day or 2.

Adding creatine should be fine.

Upped the coffee today to 1/2 tablespoon, for more delicious coffee flavor. Mmm...
