Ingredients

Protein cubes:

1/2 cup organic canned coconut milk
1 cup hot espresso
1/2 teaspoon coconut crystals (optional)
A small pinch of sea salt

Milkshake:

1 cup espresso
1 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon coconut butter

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    For the protein cubes, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold coconut milk and stir until the gelatin has dissolved and a paste has formed. Leave to rest for a few minutes, then pour the hot espresso on top and stir.
