Chocolate Mocha Protein Shake
This produces a rich and creamy shake that tastes best after sitting for one day in the refrigerator. It can be stored for up to 4 days. Start with 1 teaspoon of coffee extract and add more, to taste. You can also adjust the thickness to taste with more coconut beverage, if desired. Inspired by Maria Emmerich's protein pudding.

- 1/4 cup protein powder egg white based, unsweetened

Notes
A high powered blender or bullet works best for this as the egg needs to be completely smooth or else the texture is not right.
Tip: hardboiled eggs can be made in a large batch and kept in the fridge for the week. They also make good snacks and salad additions so it’s a good idea to have them on hand. To make them, add the eggs to a pot and cover with 2 inches of cold water. Bring this to a boil then turn off heat and let sit, covered for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel or store, as desired.
