Since I’m a perimenopausal midlife woman, I am trying to start my days with about 30 grams of protein.

Luckily, this little recipe right here gets me pretty close to that goal and gives me the yummy coffee-in-the-morning ritual I love without the caffeine.

I am a non-coffee drinking coffee lover. My husband makes coffee every morning, and sometimes I grab his mug just so I can sit and smell it for a moment. The aroma alone makes me happy. I didn’t quit coffee willingly. Quite the opposite in fact.
