Incredibly Yummy Protein Cashew Coffee

While I try to keep my coffee intake to one cup per day, there is one day a week when I indulge in extra cups. This usually happens on a Friday afternoon, and this recipe does a perfect job for that extra boost of energy I sometimes need. I love this recipe because it’s:

1. Delicious and healthier than many store bought equivalents. No 10-syllable ingredients here.

2. Fast fast to make. You can make it in 90 seconds.

3. Make with whole cashews

4. A great post-workout meal alternative!

Only 5 Simple Ingredients

• Coffee

• Cashews

• Maple syrup

• Protein powder

• Cinnamon

Cashews: I used raw cashew pieces from Trader Joe’s and loved the flavor. This also works ok with roasted unsalted cashews.

Nut free option: you can use 2 tbsp of tahini or coconut cream instead of cashews for a nut free option.

Sweetener: While I use maple syrup for this recipe you could use dates instead. Just make sure you blend it thoroughly.

Coffee: I made my coffee a bit stronger than usual for this recipe and I preferred it that way.

How to Make Protein Cashew Coffee?

You just need a blender.

• Blend the coffee with the cashews and maple syrup for one minute in a blender.

• Once the mix is totally smooth, add your protein of choice.

• Taste it and add more maple syrup to taste if necessary. To me it was sweet enough as is.

• Pour it in a cup and add a pinch of cinnamon on top.

• Option: this coffee is also amazing without the protein if you just want a naturally creamy coffee.
