If you’ve never tried Dalgona coffee before, you’re in for a treat! This viral whipped coffee is incredibly creamy and delicious, and I’ve given it a bariatric-friendly makeover by pairing it with a 30-gram vanilla protein shake.

The result is a rich, coffeehouse-style drink that’s low in sugar, packed with protein, and surprisingly easy to make at home.

Protein Caramel Maple Bourbon Pecan Latte

Lisa Kidd

A Cozy Fall Coffee Moment—Even While Traveling

There’s something about a cozy latte that just feels like home, even when you’re not at home. While visiting my husband’s family on vacation, I found myself missing my morning coffee routine — so I decided to recreate it, right there in their kitchen!

It felt a little awkward setting up to film while staying with family (I’m sure some of you can relate 😅), but once that caramel started drizzling and the espresso aroma filled the air, I was in my happy place again.

This Protein Caramel Maple Bourbon Pecan Latte combines rich espresso, a creamy protein shake, and the cozy warmth of caramel and maple bourbon pecan. It’s like fall in a mug — and the best part? It’s packed with protein and totally bariatric-friendly.

Here’s how to make it:

  • 2 shots of espresso
  • 1 can of Nurri Protein Shake (steamed)
  • Line your cup with Skinny Mixes Salted Caramel Sauce
  • Add a splash of Jordan’s Caramel Skinny Syrup
  • Add a splash of Jordan’s Maple Bourbon Pecan Skinny Syrup
  • Drizzle a little extra caramel on top
  • Sprinkle with Salted Caramel Salt

Give it a stir and enjoy that creamy, sweet, slightly salty sip of comfort.

Even when life gets a little out of routine — like traveling or staying with family — having something small and familiar can bring a sense of calm. For me, that’s my morning coffee.

So whether you’re at home or away, I hope this cozy little recipe brings you the same comfort it brought me. 💛
