Peppermint Mocha Proffee!

It’s time for a delicious Peppermint Mocha Proffee – after all, it’s Christmas Time! It sure came fast, it feels like it was just a super-hot July. Soon, we’ll be seeing snow, if not already, and colder temps. This is a hot beverage recipe that’s perfect for this time of year. But, there’s some hardcore iced coffee drinkers out there, and this drink can be turned into a cold beverage by just adding some ice. Either way, it’s time to hit the kitchen and make one up!

List Of Ingredients

1. A Coffee Pot.
2. The I’ll Pump You Up Ice Shaker. You can use your Blender, but you’ll want to cool the coffee a little before pouring it in. I suggest getting yourself the Ice Shaker. It will keep your hot drink hot for as long as 12 hours, or your cold drink cold for as long as 30 hours! 
3. 6 oz Brewed Coffee. The brand and strength is your choice. 
4. 4 oz Fairlife Fat Free Ultra Filtered Milk.
5. 1 Scoop Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, I suggest Vanilla Ice Cream flavor, but feel free to use Extreme Chocolate or Double Rich Chocolate for a rich Peppermint Mocha Proffee experience!
6. 1 Serving (15 grams) Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup, sugar-free.
7. 1Tbsp Cool Whip, sugar-free.
8. OPTIONAL – Make this a Cold Beverage by adding 1 cup of ice.

How Long Will The Peppermint Mocha Proffee Take To Make? 

It’s the time of year to be busy, right? If that’s you, you probably don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen, especially if you cooked a big Thanksgiving feast. This Proffee is a simple, healthy, very easy recipe. So let’s get it going!

Variations

1. You can use almond milk or any milk alternative as desired, but remember it will change your macronutrient profile.
2. If you’re not a Cool Whip fan, you can use Whipped Cream or even ice cream. Just remember it will change your macros profile.
3. Of course, you can use any type of coffee you like, flavored, regular, as strong or as weak as you prefer. I would not, however, suggest instant coffee if you want the best tasting Peppermint Mocha Proffee possible. 

Supplement Suggestions

I advise not drinking this delicious beverage near your workout. Why not, you might ask? Because if you’re anything like me, you probably use a stim-based Pre such as Panda Supplements First Blood. This is a well-balanced and generously-dosed Pre that provides a huge 10 grams of citrulline per serving. There’s also 3 different sources of caffeine that start with caffeine anhydrous (300 mg), then goes on to dicaffeine malate (150mg), and ends with caffeine citrate (100 mg). With that kind of caffeine, you don’t anymore, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your Peppermint Mocha Proffee in the morning or later in the day!

You already have your protein powder, but if you’re hardcore, you may want a tub of Hi-Tech Precision Protein to get the protein synthesis-stimulating effect. A wise choice!

From there, I suggest AllMax Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate. This exceptional product uses patented CreaSyn® micronized creatine monohydrate, so you know you’re getting the highest quality creatine product on the market.

Finally, don’t forget a multi, such as Beverly International Super Pack, a legendary multi pack that is a well-dosed, complete multi-vitamin/mineral formula. 

Once you have your cornerstone stack, you can add an additional product or two that can help you reach your goals. Like what, you might wonder? How about Hi-Tech Andriol, a prohormone that’s mild enough to be used year round with no PCT yet strong enough to get the job done. 

Another option might be NutraBio EAA Pure. This no-nonsense amino powder is a great-tasting chocie to drink during your workout. 

As I always advise, make sure your nutrition is dialed in and on target. Avoid junky high sugar foods. Focus on clean, healthy choices. As you know, I suggest consuming 50% of the day’s carbs (and all of the day’s simple carbs) in the hours around your workouts. In addition, I  advocate 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, spaced over 5-6 meals/shakes. The Peppermint Mocha Proffee is one scrumptious way to help you meet your protein target.
