Dairy-Free Protein Cold Foam (Chai or Pumpkin Spice)

If you love a cozy fall coffee moment, this one’s for you. My Dairy-Free Protein Cold Foam is a nourishing, elevated twist on your favorite café order. Think Starbucks-inspired, but with real ingredients and 24 grams of clean, complete protein.

This recipe is creamy, lightly sweet, and perfectly spiced with cozy chai or pumpkin notes. It’s the perfect way to enjoy your morning caffeine and support steady energy, muscle recovery, and balanced blood sugar.

A Better-for-You Fall Coffee

Cold foam is having a major moment, but instead of waiting in line at Starbucks, you can make your own at home in just minutes. Each serving delivers 24 grams of clean, grass-fed protein, made with only five simple ingredients:

  • Grass-fed beef protein for a complete amino acid profile
  • Organic spices for warm, natural flavor
  • Organic monk fruit for a touch of sweetness with minimal impact on blood sugar

My seasonal Grass-Fed Protein Powders in Pumpkin Spice and Chai make the perfect base for this fall-inspired foam. They add that cozy, nostalgic flavor while helping you meet your protein goals.

Why Pair Protein with Coffee

We all love our morning coffee, but drinking caffeine on an empty stomach, especially with added sugar or syrups, an cause a quick spike and crash in blood sugar and cortisol. That sudden rise in stress hormones can lead to jitters, cravings, and energy dips later in the day.

By adding protein to your morning coffee, you help buffer that spike. Protein slows digestion and supports steady glucose levels, so you can enjoy all the benefits of your caffeine boost without the crash.

This Protein Cold Foam does exactly that: turning your coffee into a blood-sugar-balanced, muscle-supporting beverage that keeps you energized for hours. It’s a quick, balanced upgrade to your morning routine that helps you meet your protein goals while making your coffee feel extra special.
