How do you take your coffee? You could have it with cream and sugar. You could have it black and bold. Or, you could have it with berries and whipped cream. Before you think, “that’s not my cup,” consider all the times you’ve wanted the best of both worlds but could only have one. This frappe recipe is disguised as a chocolate protein smoothie. Under its covers, though, are a couple strong espresso shots that blend right into your power shake. If you haven’t taken your coffee like this, get out the blender. The best of breakfast has finally become one.
