FAQ
Is this drink safe for people with coffee allergies?
It is labeled decaffeinated, but it still contains coffee-derived ingredients and compounds. Those with a true coffee allergy should avoid it and consult a doctor.
Why is the protein content so low?
The primary ingredients are typically water, sweeteners, non-dairy milk (like almond or oat), and coffee/chocolate flavoring. These are not significant sources of protein.
Can I make this at home with less sugar?
Absolutely. Blend decaf coffee, unsweetened non-dairy milk, a small amount of cocoa powder, a natural sweetener like dates or a dash of maple syrup, and ice for a lower-sugar version.
