Protein used to live in a very boring world: grilled chicken, sad tuna, dry eggs on dry toast. Now it comes iced, blended, shaken, flavoured, and handed to you in a cup you can finish in the car. Whether you’re lifting heavy, walking occasionally, or just trying to feel less guilty about the rest of your day, a good protein drink is the fastest way to pretend you have your life together.

This guide isn’t about “health vibes” in general. It’s about places that actually care about the protein part: proper scoops, balanced blends, and drinks that don’t taste like someone mixed chalk with regret. From smoothies and shakes to protein lattes and post-workout fixes, here’s where to drink your protein in Egypt like you’re ticking off a non-negotiable, not a punishment.

Cult

Branches all over Cairo

Cult is where caffeine and protein meet in one overqualified drink. If your ideal scenario is an iced coffee that also counts towards your daily grams, this is your spot. Their shakes and drinks look like treats, taste like treats, and somehow still qualify as “being responsible”.

Lychee

Branches all over Cairo

Lychee is the city’s default setting for anything drinkable, and their protein options make it very easy to stay loyal. Beyond the classic juices, they’ve leaned into gym-friendly blends and protein add-ons that turn a casual order into something that actually hits your targets.

1980

Branches all over Cairo

1980 feels like your favourite café discovered gym culture. Their protein drinks are easy to sip, easy to order on repeat, and ideal if you want to meet friends without derailing whatever plan you and your nutrition app agreed on.

Bowla

The Drive, New Cairo & Golf Central, Palm Hills

Bowla is for people who want their macros and their aesthetics in the same cup. Their protein blends are thick, colourful and suspiciously enjoyable for something that’s technically “good for you”.

Brunch and Cake

Lake House, New Cairo & Park St., Sheikh Zayed

Brunch and Cake is where protein goes to dress up. Between the pancakes, eggs and very dramatic plates, you’ll find smoothies and drinks that sneak in a serious protein hit behind all the pretty presentation. This is for the days you want a full brunch moment, photos included, and still walk away feeling like you did something vaguely aligned with your goals.

Nine Bar

Be Fit Gym, New Cairo

Nine Bar is the voice of reason that lives inside the gym. You finish your workout, turn a corner, and there it is: coffee, shakes, protein, all within arm’s reach. No detours, no traffic, no “I’ll grab something later and then don’t”. It’s built for people who know that if the protein isn’t right there after the last rep, it probably isn’t happening.

Beano’s

Branches all over Egypt
You pop in for coffee, leave with a protein smoothie that actually tastes like something you’d drink on purpose, not just for gains. It’s ideal for office days and mall days alike: grab a blend, log it in your app (or don’t), and let Beano’s quietly cover the “drink your protein” part of your week.

Copa Açai

Branches all over Egypt

Copa Açaí is for people who refuse to drink anything that tastes like “vanilla-flavoured protein powder” and nothing else. Their protein shakes are built like real smoothies: thick, cold, full of actual fruit you can taste and texture you can feel, not just blended air. It’s the place you go when you want your shake to bite back a little – real fruit, real texture, real protein – and zero flashbacks to sad, watery gym shakers
