7 min · 33 g protein · 206 cals / serving
The coffee-shop iced mocha, deep and chocolatey: espresso and cocoa shaken with chocolate protein and cold milk over plenty of ice until frothy, so it tastes like a treat and drinks like breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso, or 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold brew
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 cup skim milk, cold
- 1 scoop whey protein, chocolate
- 1 cup ice cubes water
Steps
- Whisk the cocoa into the hot espresso until no lumps remain, and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- Add the cold milk and protein powder to a shaker bottle or blender with the cocoa coffee and shake or blend for 20 seconds until smooth and foamy.
- Fill a tall glass with the ice and pour the mocha over. Taste, and add a few drops of sweetener if you like it sweeter.
Good to know
No espresso machine?
Use 1/2 cup of cold brew or strong instant coffee made with 2 teaspoons of granules.
Thicker, like a frappé?
Blend everything with the ice until slushy. Casein protein makes it extra thick, at about the same score.
Vanilla protein instead?
It works; add another teaspoon of cocoa and a few drops of sweetener so it still tastes like mocha.
