Let’s make it together; you’ll love how easy (and tasty!) this is.
Ingredients
- One cup of brewed coffee, hot or cold, your choice!
- One scoop of vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup of milk, either dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or soy milk
- 1 tablespoon of white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: cocoa powder, whipped cream, and white chocolate drizzle
Tools Needed
- Coffee maker or kettle (to make coffee)
- A blender or a milk frother
- A small pot to melt white chocolate in
- Spoons for measuring
- A tall glass or mug to serve in
Instructions
- First, make a cup of coffee. You can have it hot or cold; it’s up to you!
- Put the white chocolate chips in a small saucepan and stir them constantly over low heat until they melt. A little milk will help it melt evenly.
- Use a milk frother or a blender to froth the milk after warming it up (but don’t boil it).
- Mix the coffee, melted white chocolate, frothed milk, vanilla extract, and protein powder in a blender. Mix until there are no lumps and it is frothy.
- Put the drink in a tall glass or mug. For extra flair, add whipped cream, a drizzle of white chocolate, and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Tips & Variations
- Blend for smoothness: If you’re using protein powder, mixing everything together (especially if the coffee is hot) will make it the creamiest and frothiest.
- Add a teaspoon of sugar or a sugar-free sweetener if you like your drinks sweeter.
- Let your coffee cool first if you’re making iced coffee. Otherwise, when you pour it over ice, it will water down the drink.
- No frother? No problem: If you don’t have a milk frother, just shake the milk in a jar with a lid to make foam.
- For kids, skip the coffee and mix the other ingredients with hot cocoa to make a white mocha hot chocolate!
Ingredient Alternatives
- Protein Powder: For a mocha twist, use a protein powder that tastes like chocolate.
- Milk: You can use any kind of milk here, like almond, oat, or even coconut milk for a richer taste.
- If you have white chocolate syrup on hand, you can use that instead of white chocolate chips.
- Decaf: If you want the taste without the caffeine buzz, drink decaf coffee.
Storage & Serving
You can mix the protein powder with milk and put it in the fridge. Just add your coffee and melted chocolate when you’re ready to drink it!
You should drink this drink right away, but you can keep any leftover coffee mixture (before adding the toppings) in the fridge for up to two days. When you’re ready, just heat it up or serve it over ice.
