Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 shot Espresso shot
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Almond butter
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Sliced almonds
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Prepare a shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the almond milk and warm until you begin to see steam rising, but do not let it boil.
Add the vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, almond butter, and honey (or maple syrup) into the saucepan with the almond milk. Whisk continuously until everything is well combined and smooth.
Use a milk frother or handheld mixer to froth the almond milk mixture until it becomes creamy and frothy.
Pour the hot espresso shot into a large coffee cup, then slowly add the frothy almond milk mixture, spooning any remaining foam on top.
Garnish the cappuccino with sliced almonds and a light dusting of ground cinnamon for added texture and aroma.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your high-protein almond cappuccino!
