Is your normal cup of morning coffee becoming a bit repetitive? Are you feeling like you’re trudging through an endless coffee rut? If so, it may be just the right time to mix up your breakfast a little. By that I mean to incorporate coffee into breakfast, literally. Here are a few recipes to aid in your transition!
-
Overnight Oatmeal:
I’m going to be completely honest with you; oatmeal gets two big thumbs down from me taste-wise. It can often be so bland and boring that it becomes an unpleasant struggle to scarf it down so early in the morning. But- and this is a big but- if you lace your oatmeal with a bit of cold brew coffee, you could completely turn around your boring breakfast game!
Prep time: 5 min
Ingredients:
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ¼ cup cold brew coffee
- ¼ unsweetened almond milk
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
Directions:
- Load all ingredients into a bowl/mason jar.
- Stir or shake.
- Place in fridge to cool overnight (kind of like preparing your cold brew coffee!)
-
Overnight Chia Pudding:
For a more alternative option to incorporate coffee into breakfast food, you can give chia pudding a shot! More specifically, you can make chocolate coffee chia pudding! Can you even name a single better combo than coffee and chocolate? I’ll wait.
Prep time: 10 min
Ingredients:
- ½ cup cold brew coffee
- ½ cup full fat canned coconut milk
- 1 full tbsp. almond butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. maple syrup or honey
- 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Directions
- Blend all ingredients (excluding chia seeds) in a blender.
- Pour blended mixture into mason jars.
- Add chia seeds and shake it up!
- Cool in fridge overnight.

Breakfast Coffee Protein Shake:
It has never been easier to incorporate coffee into your breakfast. If there is one thing that I wholeheartedly believe, it’s that a good morning smoothie will never let you down. Especially when it’s packed with protein, low sugar, and has a splash of coffee in it! The only thing that you have to know how to do is throw a few ingredients in a blender and press mix! Then, enjoy the frothy deliciousness.
Prep time: 5 min
Ingredients:
- 1 banana (frozen)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder of choice
- ½ cup vanilla almond milk
- ½ cup cold brew coffee
- 1-3 drops of Stevia extract (optional)
Directions:
- Literally throw all ingredients in blender and blend it up till smooth!
-
Nutty Coffee Bark:
The final way to incorporate coffee into your breakfast is a little quirky. If you’ve ever prepared chocolate bark before, then you probably know how simple (and fun) it is! This recipe provides quite the flavorful and colorful treat through a variety of complimentary ingredients. It almost resembles that of a granola bar, but much better.
