20 Coffee Recipes for Java Connoisseurs and Dessert Lovers

Many of us rely on coffee for our daily caffeine fix, but those beans are good for so much else.

For starters, they’re good for you.

Research shows that coffee beans can speed up metabolism, alleviate depression, and improve athletic performance, and because they contain high amounts of antioxidants, they can help prevent cellular damage and ward off disease as well.

They’re also good for making unique and delicious drinks and desserts, like those in this article.

If you already love all things coffee, then you’ll appreciate healthier twists on the classics, from the Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte to Apple Buttermilk Spelt Coffee Cake.  

If you’re not sold on the brew, you might become a convert after trying Cold Brew Mocha Protein Ice Cream or Mocha Protein Cheesecake.

There’s something for every palate in this list of decadent coffee recipes.

Enjoy!

Mocha Protein Cheesecake

Serves 6

This healthy mocha cheesecake is rich and satisfying, yet low in fat with a mix of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. Chocolate whey protein also boosts the macros, so this cheesecake isn’t that different than drinking a protein shake – only you’re also eating a rich, decadent dessert.

The crust is optional, but since it’s all almonds, there’s no reason to cut it out nutritionally. If you go without, though, each slice is barely over 100 calories and still has 15 grams of protein with one-third the fat.

Apple Buttermilk Spelt Coffee Cake

Serves 8

This healthy coffee cake manages to keep the added sugar low by using the natural sweetness of apples.

It’s topped with a glaze made with powdered sugar, but you could just as easily use a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, still mixing it with buttermilk to make a nutritious topping.

For the same number of calories, you’ll bump up the protein by about 3 grams per serving, decreasing the carbs by the same amount.

Coffee Ricotta Mousse

Serves 10

Coffee and cream are a match made in heaven. The two are so delicious together, Starbucks practically built a business off of it one Frappuccino at a time.

If your morning cup of Joe isn’t enough to satisfy your cravings, dig into this creamy coffee mousse. It’s made with ricotta so you can use less heavy cream, replacing it with an awesome natural source of whey.

PB&J Chickpea Coffee Cake

Serves 12

To make a flourless coffee cake, you don’t need an alternate to wheat flour like coconut or almond meal. Just open up a can of chickpeas, mix with oats and peanut butter, then add sweetener like maple syrup to taste.

To make this into a peanut butter and jelly cake, spread on jam and fresh fruit. Then for crunch, add crushed peanuts to the oat crumble topping.

Vegan Affogato

Serves 1

In Italy, affogato is dessert-meets-coffee. Simple but decadent, making one couldn’t be easier. Just pour a shot of espresso over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For this nutritious overhaul of the classic, you don’t ever need a frozen dessert – just whole bananas that have been stashed in the freezer, which is a great way to preserve them when they’re turning brown.

Blend the frozen bananas for a healthy vegan ice cream, and then add coffee (or tea) for a dairy-free affogato treat.

Chocolate Berry Chia Coffee Parfaits

Serves 2

You might expect this impressive parfait to come from a restaurant or café, but you can make it at home with just five ingredients.

Start by flavoring Greek yogurt with brewed coffee. Stir in chia seeds to thicken, or leave them out if you want a low-fat coffee dessert. Either way it’s packed with protein, which means it can also be enjoyed as an easy breakfast.

Espresso Cardamom Oat Muffins

Serves 12

If you can’t get enough coffee in the morning, add some espresso to a batch of muffins so you can grab one on the way out the door.

They’re great to fill you up when your quick breakfast wasn’t quite big enough, and unlike a hot cappuccino, you won’t be spilling this on yourself in the car.

Milk Stout with Pumpkin, Coffee, and Vanilla

Serves 50

If you have a place nearby that stocks craft brews, you can find a beer that includes coffee for flavor, like Kona Brewing Company’s Pipeline Porter or Rogue Cold Brew IPA, made in collaboration with Stumptown Coffee Roasters. But if you’re feeling adventurous (and patient), you can make your own homemade coffee stout.

Brewing your own beer actually comes with health benefits. Since most beer is pasteurized, it doesn’t contain live yeast. Not only is that what originally makes the mix alcoholic, but brewer’s yeast can actually be a nutritional supplement. It’s used as a probiotic for digestion, plus a good source of B vitamins.

OVER 100,000 PEOPLE HAVE USED MY COOKBOOK TO GET THE BODY THEY WANT EATING THE FOODS THEY LOVE. WILL YOU BE NEXT?

What if I told you that just about everything magazines and trainers “teach” you about dieting is wrong?

What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating “naughty” foods every week?

What if you didn’t have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?

And what if you didn’t have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn’t have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?

In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?

Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.

And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.

Well, I have good news.

All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.

You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.

And this book will show you the way.

Clinically Effective Ingredients & Doses

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.

That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Clinically Effective Doses

You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Lab Tested

Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.

Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.

That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.

If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
