Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee or cold brew
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, soy, coconut)
- 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder or 2–3 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Optional: 1 tsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp nut butter, shredded coconut, cardamom
Instructions
- Brew your coffee and allow it to cool (or use cold brew for quicker prep).
- In a mason jar or bowl, mix coffee, milk, protein powder or yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and optional cocoa powder or flavorings.
- Whisk until smooth—no clumps. A small whisk or milk frother works best.
- Add chia seeds and stir thoroughly. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to avoid clumps.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
- Before serving, stir again and top with your favorite extras—like fruit, nut butter, coconut flakes, or granola.
Notes
Store in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. Use plant-based milk and protein for a vegan version. Avoid freezing. Adjust sweetness to taste and personalize with toppings or flavor twists like mocha, coconut latte, or cinnamon roll style.
