The latest protein coffee trend continues, offering a great way to enjoy your favorite coffee flavors while fueling your body with healthy protein. Since 2012, Chike has been a leader in the protein coffee market with its delicious protein coffees that are designed to replace sugary coffeehouse drinks. But for those who have recently hopped on the protein coffee bandwagon, their newest seasonal protein coffee flavor release is something to get excited about.

Just launched, the White Chocolate Peppermint flavor is here to shake up your holidays and power you through a busy holiday season. This new flavor provides the taste of a Frappuccino-style drink with a healthier twist. Each serving contains 20 grams of protein, 2 shots of authentic espresso, and only 1 gram of sugar. Between hunting down the perfect gifts, navigating crowded stores, road trips to visit family, and trying not to eat every holiday cookie, this drink keeps you focused without adding extra sugar to your diet.
