Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso about 60 ml total
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder 30 g protein
  • 200 ml unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional
  • Ice cubes 3-4 large
  • Pinch of cinnamon for garnish

Equipment

  • Espresso machine
  • Blender
  • tamper
  • shot glass
  • measuring spoons
  • fine-mesh strainer

Method
 

  1. Pull two shots of espresso into a pre-warmed shot glass. Aim for 60 ml total in 25-30 seconds for a balanced extraction.
  2. In a blender, combine the almond milk, protein powder, honey, and ice cubes. Blend on low for 10 seconds to avoid over-aerating.
  3. Pour the espresso over the blended mixture; stir gently with a spoon to create a marbled effect.
  4. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a tall glass filled with fresh ice to remove any clumps.
  5. Garnish with a pinch of cinnamon and serve immediately.

Notes

For a thicker texture, use frozen almond milk cubes instead of ice. Store leftover proffee in the fridge for up to 4 hours; shake before drinking. Not suitable for young children; consult a doctor for caffeine during pregnancy.
