From Mountain Dew Mornings to a Purposeful Protein Coffee Ritual: How I Fixed My Energy and Gut Health

If you’re searching for a protein coffee that supports gut health and delivers energy without the crash, my story might sound familiar. Twenty-five years ago, my mornings started with a cold can of Mountain Dew—not coffee. I was running on caffeine, sugar, and sheer determination, but by my 30s, I knew something had to change.

Like many women, I wanted to get through the morning without crashing. But daily sodas and sugary creamers led to bigger crashes, cravings, bloating, and mood swings. That’s when I began experimenting—first with coffee, then with ways to make it work for me, not against me. This journey led me to create a protein coffee blend that keeps me full, supports my gut, and delivers steady energy.

After working with my nutritionist, Debbie, I created The Roasted Purpose—a protein coffee designed for women who want more from their mornings. Our blend is dairy-free, sugar-free, and made with organic coffee, grass-fed collagen, creamy cashew, and monk fruit. Just one scoop, 8 oz of water, and 15 seconds to blend.
The result? No more cravings, lasting energy, and a happy gut.


Why This Protein Coffee Works

  • Sugar resets your tastebuds: The less you have, the less you crave.
  • Coffee on an empty stomach spikes cortisol: Adding protein and healthy fats balances your energy and supports hormone health.
  • Gut health is everything: Clean ingredients and collagen support digestion and reduce inflammation.
