COFFEE INFUSED

I prefer using an espresso shot, but you can also dissolve instant coffee in a bit of boiling water or add it directly to the almond milk.

MAKE IT HIGH-PROTEIN

You can easily replace the cacao powder (or some of it) with chocolate protein powder. Depending on the brand you use, just be aware if your protein powder is sweetened you might want to reduce the amount of maple syrup you add. If you reduce the maple syrup you might want to increase the almond milk amount.

SWEET

Also, depending on the yoghurt you use you might want to adjust the amount of maple syrup you use.

If using a sweetened or vanilla yoghurt, you might want to reduce omit the maple syrup amount.
