Equipment

  • coffee maker
  • Saucepan
  • whisk
  • Blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Mugs

Ingredients
  

Coffee Base

  • cups Brewed coffee hot and strong
  • cup Milk dairy or nondairy

Protein Blend

  • scoops Vanilla protein powder your favorite brand
  • tsp Ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
  • tbsp Maple syrup optional

Instructions
 

  • Brew the coffee and heat the milk until steaming but not boiling.
  • Whisk protein powder, cinnamon, and maple syrup with a splash of milk until smooth and creamy.
  • Add hot coffee slowly while whisking to keep the texture silky and lump free.

Notes

For a softer creamy texture, blend longer; for a stronger bite, use less milk. Chill leftovers and freeze as coffee cubes for smoothies. Stir gently when assembling iced versions to keep them smooth. Try chocolate or pumpkin spice for flavor twists. Store refrigerated for up to two days.
