Can I make these caffeine-free?
Definitely! Just swap the regular espresso shot for decaf — same flavor, minus the buzz.
Are these good for post-workout?
Yes — each recipe packs protein and caffeine, making them a great option for recovery and an energy boost. Just keep in mind that if you're sensitive to caffeine, you may want to avoid them after evening workouts.
Do I need a blender?
Not necessarily. You can use a protein shaker if that’s easier, but the texture might be a little less smooth compared to blending.
