OK to mix my protein powder with coffee?

Hi Jordan! I mix my protein shake with coffee in the morning and it seems to be working pretty well and I’m not having any gastric issues doing it. Will mixing protein with coffee disrupt the digestive process of the protein? My concern was with it causing some of it to go to more waste via ureagenesis. Is this something to even worry about?

Why would mixing it create more urea than taking it separately? There is no issue here.

Pro tip: don’t pour hot coffee over your protein powder like I did one time. It cooked into little rubbery balls that wouldn’t desolve no matter how hard I tried. Ice, then coffee. Then powder.

But why? The coffee can’t possibly make it through this unscathed…

I googled it after I posted this, which I probably should’ve done that anyway and it basically said “no issue”. I know it was a bit of a silly question.
Also James my google result said the same thing, lol.
