MOCHA (COFFEE & COCOA), aka Moccaccino
Recipe Ingredients
1 cup cooled down cocoa (1 cup water mixed with 2 tsp cocoa powder)
½ cup full cream
1 tsp instant coffee or espresso powder (if you can take the stronger taste)
honey to taste (some people might prefer an alternative sweetener)
½ tsp vanilla essence
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
ice cubes
TIP:
I told a friend to make the cocoa first by heating the water and cocoa powder
in a pan until it just begins to boil. He told me if you do this, it is important
to let the cocoa cool down before blending with the protein powder otherwise the
hot cocoa will destroy the protein quality of your added supplement. (If anyone
knows why this is, I’d be happy if you could send me a quick email with
an explanation.)
About the Mocha (Moccaccino) Protein Drink:
A mocha (also known as a Moccaccino by some people) is typically a
mixture of espresso, chocolate, and steamed milk. In this recipe it suggests using
cocoa but you could use 1 cup of skimmed (fat-free) milk with chocolate syrup
to taste.
Note this recipe include half a cup of full cream so if you are on a strict
weight-loss diet then you probably will want to omit this ingredient.
