Method

Start by brewing your favorite coffee. Whether you prefer a dark roast, a medium blend, or a lighter roast, use about 1 cup (240 ml) of hot or iced coffee. If you’re making iced coffee, brew it stronger than usual, as the ice will dilute it. Let it cool slightly if you’re using hot coffee for a hot beverage.
1 cup brewed coffee
In a blender or a shaker bottle, combine the protein powder, unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk), pure maple syrup, packed light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg (if using), and vanilla extract.
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder, 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, Pinch ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
If using a blender, blend the mixture until it’s completely smooth and well combined, ensuring no clumps of protein powder remain. If using a shaker bottle, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 30-60 seconds until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
For Hot Coffee: Pour the brewed hot coffee into your blender (if you didn’t blend other ingredients there) or a mug. Add the protein mixture from the blender or shaker bottle to the coffee.
1 cup brewed coffee
For Iced Coffee: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the brewed iced coffee over the ice. Add the protein mixture from the blender or shaker bottle into the glass.
As needed ice cubes, 1 cup brewed coffee
For Hot Coffee: If using a blender, pulse briefly to combine the coffee and the protein mixture until smooth and frothy. Be sure to remove the center cap of your blender lid and cover with a towel to allow steam to escape and prevent a mess. If you blended the protein mixture separately, give the combined coffee and protein mixture a good stir in the mug until fully incorporated and slightly frothy.
For Iced Coffee: Stir the protein mixture into the iced coffee in the glass until well combined and you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Pour your Maple Brown Sugar Protein Coffee into your favorite mug or glass. Add any desired toppings, such as an extra drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately and savor your delicious, nutritious beverage.
