Iced Protein Coffee with Date Caramel Sauce

Iced Protein Coffee with Date Caramel Sauce

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1-2 shots (or 3-4oz strongly brewed) Botticelli Organic Ground Espresso
  • 6 oz milk of choice
  • 1 scoop refined sugar free caramel protein powder
  • 1 1/2 cup dates, pits removed
  • 1 cup hot water
  • Flakey sea salt

PREPARATION:

  1. Make the date caramel sauce by combining the dates, hot water and a pinch of sea salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer the dates to a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, to bring out the caramel flavor.
  2. Add the scoop of protein powder to the milk and whisk or froth until smooth. In a large glass, add a scoop or two of the date caramel sauce. Fill with ice and pour in the protein powder/milk mixture. Top with espresso and a pinch of flakey sea salt and enjoy!
