Muscle-Boost Morning Coffee

 

Serves: 1 | Time: 3–5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Brewed coffee – 1 cup (hot)

  • MCT oil – 1 teaspoon (start small to avoid stomach upset)

  • Cinnamon powder – ¼ teaspoon (for flavor + blood sugar benefits)

  • Unsweetened almond butter or paste – 1 teaspoon (healthy fats + vitamin E)

  • Unflavored or vanilla whey protein isolate – 20–25g (about 1 scoop)

    • If vegan: use a pea protein or soy protein powder high in leucine (≥2g per serving)

  • Unsweetened almond milk – ¼ cup (optional, for creaminess)

  • (Optional) 1–2 teaspoons of plant-based collagen booster powder (for joints/skin, not muscle)



Instructions:

  1. Brew coffee as usual.

  2. In a blender (or shaker that can handle hot liquids), add:

    • Coffee

    • Protein powder

    • MCT oil

    • Almond paste

    • Cinnamon powder

    • Almond milk (if using)

  3. Blend for 15–20 seconds until frothy and creamy.

  4. Pour into a mug and enjoy.



Why this works for sarcopenia prevention

  • Whey or leucine-rich plant protein → triggers muscle protein synthesis effectively, especially in older adults.

  • MCT oil → quick energy that may reduce muscle breakdown.

  • Healthy fats from almonds → extra calories and nutrients for overall health.

  • Cinnamon → supports metabolic health, which indirectly supports muscle maintenance.



💡 Tip:
To fight sarcopenia, aim for 25–30g of high-quality protein at each main meal. This coffee can give you a solid head start toward your daily target, especially if breakfast is otherwise light.


肌力提升晨間咖啡

份量:1 杯 | 時間:3–5 分鐘

材料:

  • 沖泡好的咖啡 – 1 杯(熱)

  • MCT油(中鏈三酸甘油酯油) – 1 茶匙(先從少量開始,以免腸胃不適)

  • 肉桂粉 – ¼ 茶匙(增添香氣 + 有助血糖穩定)

  • 無糖杏仁醬 – 1 茶匙(提供健康脂肪與維生素E)

  • 無味或香草口味乳清蛋白粉 – 20–25 公克(約 1 勺)

    • 若為全素:可用高白胺酸(每份 ≥2 公克)的豌豆蛋白或大豆蛋白粉

  • 無糖杏仁奶 – ¼ 杯(可選,增加順滑口感)

  • (可選)植物性膠原蛋白促進粉 1–2 茶匙(護膚及關節,非直接增肌)


作法:

  1. 先沖好咖啡

  2. 將以下食材放入果汁機(或能耐熱的搖搖杯):

    • 咖啡

    • 蛋白粉

    • MCT油

    • 杏仁醬

    • 肉桂粉

    • 杏仁奶(若使用)

  3. 攪拌 15–20 秒,直到順滑起泡。

  4. 倒入馬克杯,享用即可。


為什麼這杯咖啡有助預防肌少症?

  • 乳清或高白胺酸植物蛋白 → 對年長者特別有效地刺激肌肉蛋白合成

  • MCT油 → 提供快速能量,可能減少肌肉分解

  • 杏仁健康脂肪 → 提供額外熱量與營養

  • 肉桂 → 有助代謝健康,間接支持肌肉維持


💡 小提醒:
為了預防肌少症,每餐最好攝取 25–30 公克高品質蛋白質。這杯咖啡能讓您在早餐時就搶先補足一天蛋白質目標的一大部分,特別適合早餐較清淡的人。
