Hey there, fellow art and coffee lovers! Robert Kline here, and today I’m going to share my secret for the perfect pick-me-up: homemade vegan protein coffee. This isn’t just your average cup of joe; it’s a delicious and nutritious way to fuel your day, especially when working on those creative projects.
Why Protein Coffee?
As an artist, I’m always on the lookout for ways to stay energized and focused. This recipe allows me to get my caffeine fix while nourishing my body with a boost of protein. It’s a win-win!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee/espresso granules
- 1 scoop vanilla vegan protein powder (I love using Orgain!)
- 2-3 tablespoons of water
- ⅔ cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or your favorite!)
- Ice to serve
Easy-to-Follow Steps:
- Combine and Froth: In your favorite mug or mason jar, mix the instant coffee, protein powder, and water. Using a handheld frother or a small blender, whip the mixture until it’s light, fluffy, and has a pale brown color. This should take about 10-15 seconds.
- Add Milk and Ice: Pour in your preferred plant-based milk and stir well. Then, add ice to your liking.
- Enjoy! Your refreshing and energizing vegan protein coffee is ready to enjoy!
Tips and Tricks:
- Not Vegan? No problem! Feel free to use regular milk and your favorite whey protein powder.
- Sweeten It Up: If you prefer a sweeter coffee, add a touch of your favorite sweetener like maple syrup, agave, or stevia.
- Experiment with Flavors: Get adventurous and try different flavors of protein powder or add a dash of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist.
Conclusion
And there you have it! A simple yet satisfying vegan protein coffee recipe that’s perfect for busy mornings or whenever you need a boost. It’s a much healthier and more affordable alternative to those pricey coffee shop lattes, allowing you to invest more in your artistic pursuits.
