I love chewy macaroons, and this yummy coffee drink captures the flavor perfectly!
This creamy cup of joe is topped with a cloud of whipped coconut cream for a truly dreamy mocha. And with the addition of protein powder, you also give your metabolism a boost.
That’s what really sets this recipe part – while other mochas load you up with sugar and dairy that can cause food intolerance symptoms and grind fat-burning to a halt, this version does just the opposite. It’s also got some incredible health benefits, thanks to the power of the healthy fats in coconut milk. (Find out more in this blog!)
All in all, you won’t do a better for a mid-morning pick-me-up or quick energy boost before your workout. And if you love protein-powered hot drinks, you’re going to love a mug of Power Hot Cocoa or a Spiced Turmeric Latte.
