A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso
Equipment
- Espresso Machine or Moka Pot
- Jar with a Lid or Shaker
Ingredients
- 4 oz espresso
- dash of cinnamon
- 1-3 tsp brown sugar or coconut sugar (depending on how sweet you like it!)
- ¼ cup creamer or milk of choice (can add more or less depending on your preference)
- lots of ice
Instructions
- Brew espresso and add to a jar or shaker with brown sugar or coconut sugar, cinnamon and a small handful of ice.
- Cover with a lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. It’ll be ready when it’s frothy and chilled.
- Pour the coffee into a glass, add in lots of ice and pour in the creamer or milk. Taste to see if you want a little more creamer or milk and adjust if needed.
Notes
- You don’t need a fancy espresso machine! A moka pot is around $15 and works great.
- I use coconut sugar and dairy free/sugar free creamer to keep mine paleo.
- If you like it sweeter, use more sugar!
- Cinnamon is optional but it really adds something!
- Be sure to shake it suuuuper well to get it frothy and chilled before adding to a glass.
