Why It’s Awesome

• Hunger control: Protein + caffeine + cinnamon = solid satiety, especially fasted.
• Thermogenic effect: Caffeine + protein digestion = slight metabolism boost.
• Blood sugar stability: Cinnamon helps blunt spikes, making it a good snack or meal replacement during a cut.
• Taste: Coffee enhances the chocolate, and cinnamon adds warmth and fullness to the flavor.

Macros (approximate):

• Calories: ~120–150 (depending on whey)
• Protein: 25–30g
• Carbs: 1–3g
• Fat: 1–3g

Spiced Cocoa Coffee (Low Cal & Cutting Friendly)

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp instant coffee
• 2 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg
• 6 Sugar Twin (or to taste)
• 2 tsp skim milk (optional)
• 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Super low-cal and tastes like a winter dessert.

Hunger Suppression

• Caffeine is a mild appetite suppressant, especially in a fasted state. It can help blunt hunger for a few hours.
• Cinnamon may help reduce appetite by stabilizing blood sugar levels, preventing spikes and crashes that lead to cravings.
• Nutmeg and cocoa powder add flavor depth, which can satisfy “mouth hunger” without real calories.

Metabolism & Fat Burning

• Caffeine boosts thermogenesis (your body’s calorie burn rate) by increasing adrenaline and mobilizing fatty acids.
• This effect is mild but helpful in a deficit—especially fasted with cardio.
• Cinnamon may improve insulin sensitivity slightly, which helps partition nutrients better and reduce fat storage.

Inflammation

• Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cocoa all have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Keeping inflammation low is helpful for recovery, fat oxidation, and staying sharp during a hard cut.
• Coffee itself contains polyphenols which are anti-inflammatory too—just don’t overdo caffeine or it can backfire via cortisol.

Best Use for You

• Drink this fasted in the morning or between meals to crush hunger and enhance output.
• It’s especially useful before cardio or walking.
• Just avoid too many cups or too much artificial sweetener late in the day—can mess with sleep and gut if overused.
