FAQs
Can I make these caffeine-free?
Absolutely! Just swap the regular espresso shot for a decaf version.
Are these suitable for post-workout?
Yes — each drink contains both protein and caffeine, making them ideal for recovery and energy replenishment. Just bear in mind that caffeine may not be suitable for evening workouts if you're sensitive to it.
Do I need a blender?
Not necessarily. You can use a protein shaker if preferred, though the texture might not be as smooth.
