Quick Mocha Coffee Yogurt
Enjoy this creamy mocha coffee yogurt ready in 2 minutes! Healthy, protein-packed, and perfect for breakfast, snack, or smoothie base.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder (or up to 2 teaspoons of instant coffee crystals)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (dark or natural, optional but recommended)
- 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, full-fat or non-fat)
- Optional Toppings: Toasted coconut, sliced almonds, chocolate chips, fresh berries, banana slices
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the espresso powder, cocoa powder, and maple syrup or honey with a few tablespoons of yogurt. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the remaining yogurt and mix thoroughly until fully combined.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Top with your choice of nuts, fruits, or chocolate chips, or blend into a smoothie for a delicious twist.
Notes
- Espresso Powder: Adjust ½–1 teaspoon depending on strength preference.
- Instant Coffee: Double the amount if substituting for espresso.
- Cocoa Powder: Optional, but enhances the mocha flavor.
- Sweetener: Adjust to taste; honey is slightly harder to mix than maple syrup.
- Yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt ensures thick, creamy texture.
