1 teaspoon instant coffee
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
½ teaspoon grated dark chocolate
1 cup hot drinking water
1 cup of non-dairy milk(almond, coconut, flax, hemp, or pea protein milk)
2 scoops of protein powder (egg white, pea protein, or whey-casein blend)
How To Prepare
Put 1 teaspoon coffee in a cup and blend well with warm milk.
Stir well and add the ground flaxseed.
Stir well and top it off with grated dark chocolate.
Benefits
Coffee contains caffeine, which boosts energy and increases metabolism (9).
Flax seeds are rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, which aid weight loss by decreasing insulin resistance and inflammation (10).
Dark chocolate can increase satiety and has antioxidant benefits. Therefore dark chocolate is a great way to satisfy chocolate cravings while trying to lose weight. Look for at least 60% cacao (11).
Protein powder is key for keeping you full and preserving muscle mass. Non-dairy milk provides calcium for strong bones and healthy fats to keep you full.
