This isn’t breakfast! However, it’s perfect as part of your meal, as a pre-workout/ post-workout or as a snack. It’s also super handy for those that can’t have much food when they wake up, for whatever reason.
This tastes delicious and provides 33g protein. If you like iced frothy coffee, this is for you.
I like it pre workout. Then I have my breakfast after. It’s also perfect for those who want something when they wake and breakfast slightly later (eg after the kids are in school, breakfast when you get to work).
What you will need
- An espresso (I make this the night before and store in the fridge)
- 250ml milk ( I have this in a shaker in the fridge)
- 1 scoop of unflavoured casein protein
How to make it
- Add the espresso to the milk, and then the scoop of protein on top.
- Shake till it mixes and goes frothy.
- Drink over ice or transport to a flask to keep it cool while you walk/ drive to where you’re going.
What protein should I use?
If you’re having this after a workout, whey may be better. Or soya protein.
If you like sweet things, adding a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder works well.
Nutritional information
If you’re diabetic, this provides 14g carbs when made on milk, and 0g carbs if made on water.
If you make it on water, it’s 116 kcal and 24g protein.
With almond milk, it’s 154kcal and 25g protein.
With skimmed milk it’s 200kcal and 33g protein.
I personally use whole milk and that provides 275kcal and 33g protein.
