Good morning!
I hope everyone is having a marvelous day! We are half-way through the week! And I have found the cure to my morning cravings for delicious, caffeinated coffee and my need for muscle-building protein first thing in the morning, that I have to share with you today.
I call it the Star-Buff Mocha Protein Smoothie, and it’s a combination of the two in this super easy, zero prep protein smoothie. I get the coffee fix I need to get going and a dose of protein in the morning without any added sugar or cream.
This is literally all you need:
- Chocolate Protein Powder (I used Designer Whey. It’s my favorite and tastes so good even by itself.)
- Coffee
- Ice
- Blender, Magic Bullet or similar
- Cocoa Nibs (optional)
I brewed the coffee in my Keurig first thing, and then threw it in the freezer while I got the kids packed and ready to go to school to cool it down.
It’s super easy to pull this all together, even when you are running out the door for drop off time. Just throw a scoop of protein powder into the blender, add the cooled down coffee, a bunch of ice and some cocoa nibs if you like the chocolatey crunch. Then blend until smooth.
It tastes like a delicious Mocha Frappuccino, but feels so much better drinking it cause of the 20 grams of protein that go along with it!
I just found my new morning treat and I am loving it!
Looks soooo good!!!
