Cookies & Cream Brown Sugar Cinnamon Espresso

Creamy cookies & cream, warm brown sugar cinnamon, and a bold shot of espresso come together in this simple protein coffee. It has that coffee-shop feel, but with a scoop of protein mixed right in.

I love recipes like this because protein powder doesn’t have to mean the same shake over and over again. Sometimes it’s as simple as taking something you already enjoy,like your afternoon espresso,and turning it into something a little more satisfying.

This one is smooth, lightly sweet, and easy enough to make in just a few minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 oz espresso
• 4 oz almond milk
• 1 scoop Cookies & Cream Dream Protein Powder
• 1 tsp sugar-free brown sugar cinnamon syrup
• Ice, optional

Directions

1. Add the almond milk, Cookies & Cream Dream Protein Powder, and brown sugar cinnamon syrup to a shaker or separate glass. Mix until smooth.
2. Add ice to a 10 oz glass, if using.
3. Pour the espresso over the ice.
4. Pour the protein mixture over the espresso.
5. Stir, sip, and enjoy.

Make It Your Own

Prefer it sweeter? Add a little more brown sugar cinnamon syrup. Want a stronger coffee flavor? Add another shot of espresso. You can also skip the ice and enjoy it warm.

Protein Parlor Tip: Mixing the protein powder with the almond milk first helps create a smoother, creamier texture before it hits the espresso.
