You, on the other hand, have been training hard!

That’s why we’ve got a Sleighin' Miles Recovery Mocha recipe for you—packed with Christmas cheer and all the recovery power you need to keep training hard this holiday season.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup hot-brewed Sugar Cookie Flavored Electrolyte Infused Coffee
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (choose your favorite plant-based or whey protein)

Directions:

1. Brew Coffee: Start by brewing 1 cup of your Sugar Cookie Flavored Electrolyte Infused Coffee hot.
2. Mix Protein: While the coffee is brewing, add 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder and 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to a blender or shaker bottle.
3. Combine Coffee & Milk: Once your coffee is brewed, pour it into the blender or shaker with the protein and cocoa powder. Add 1/2 cup of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend or shake until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add Spice (Optional): For a little extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon and blend again.
5. Serve: Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent finish (optional).
6. Enjoy: Sip on your warm, post-run recovery mocha and enjoy the comforting, holiday-inspired flavors.
