🍎 Salted Caramel Apple Protein Coffee

A cozy, fall-inspired drink that’s packed with protein and flavor — without the sugar or guilt!

There’s just something about fall that makes me want to slow down and savor every sip. The air turns crisp, the leaves start to change, and suddenly all I can think about are cozy sweaters and comforting flavors — especially anything with caramel, apple, or cinnamon. 🍁

But since having bariatric surgery, I’ve learned how to recreate those seasonal favorites in ways that fit my protein-forward, low-sugar lifestyle. That’s where this Salted Caramel Apple Protein Coffee comes in — it’s sweet, creamy, and has all the cozy fall vibes without any of the extra sugar.

☕ The Inspiration

After surgery, my morning coffee became more than just caffeine — it’s my little ritual of self-care and gratitude. I wanted something indulgent that still supported my goals, and this drink checks all the boxes.

Think: the warm spices of fall, the richness of caramel, and the comfort of apple crisp — blended into a smooth, protein-packed drink that feels like dessert in a cup (without the sugar crash).
