Brew 1 cup of very strong coffee or prepare 1 cup of espresso (about 1 shot to 2 shots worth concentrated). If using espresso concentrate, add 1/4 cup hot water to reach 1 cup total volume. Keep hot if serving hot; chill briefly if making iced.

Chocolate Protein Mixture

Dissolve protein and cocoa

In a small bowl or shaker, combine 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon granulated sweetener, and 1/4 cup hot water. Whisk or shake vigorously until smooth and free of lumps. The hot water helps dissolve both the cocoa and the protein for a smooth texture.

Taste and adjust

Taste the mixture and add a little more sweetener if desired. If it's too thick, add up to 1 tablespoon more hot water and re-whisk.

Milk & Texture

Heat or chill milk

If making a hot Prime Protein Mocha: heat 1 cup milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling (about 3–4 minutes). If making iced: use cold milk and prepare a glass with ice.

Combine chocolate mixture with coffee

Pour the dissolved protein-cocoa mixture into the brewed coffee and stir briskly until fully incorporated.

Add milk and froth

Pour the heated (or cold) milk into the coffee-protein mixture. For a creamier texture, froth or foam 2 tablespoons of milk separately and spoon on top, or use a milk frother to froth the whole cup. Stir gently to combine.

Finishing Touches

Garnish

Drizzle 1 teaspoon sugar-free chocolate syrup on top if using, then dust with 1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder or sprinkle grated dark chocolate. Add the steamed milk foam on top if prepared.

Serve

Serve immediately while hot, or over ice for an iced version. Stir before drinking to keep the protein evenly distributed. Enjoy your Prime Protein Mocha.
