☕🧁 Maple Espresso Muffin Cup

☕🧁 Maple Espresso Muffin Cup

A High-Protein Coffee Cake Moment in Single-Serve Form

If your morning coffee and your favourite bakery muffin had a baby… this would be it.

This Maple Espresso Muffin Cup is soft, fluffy, topped with a buttery streusel, and drizzled with icing for the ultimate coffee-and-cream vibe in every bite.

It tastes indulgent enough to pass for dessert…

…but thanks to HelloAmino Your Dream Muffin Mix, it still helps you hit your protein goals.

Basically the kind of breakfast that makes eating enough feel significantly less difficult.

Best protein powders I've ever tried

Best protein powders I've ever tried, and ive tried a few 🥴 The london fog is to die for and all the baking mixes are delicious! No gritty texture, no weird after taste, just perfection. Addicted is an understatement 🤤😍

Chai Protein Latte is a need, not a want

I had sadly forgotten about a bag of Chai Tea Protein Latte I had purchased at an expo last year or so until finding it this past week the very same day I had experienced a disappointing iced chai latte from a popular chain. Looking at the latte mix bag in my hand, I decided to try making my own. Half cup skim milk, half cup of half-and-half, 3 tbsp powder, a ginormous amount of ice, and soon I was adding to cart and clicking on Place Order. PERFECTION!

My Fav!

This is by far my personal favorite of the "regular" pancake mixes. The flavor is amazing, not to mention the supercharged version (which is all I make) gives me more than 33 grams of protein!! Best way to start my day!

Dirty Soda is now Flirty Soda!

If it’s sweet I want it. With warm weather hitting the city, I thought I might have to give up my dirty soda to cut down on the sugar. Not anymore! A sugar free soda with a flirty indulgence using my Hello Amino Creamer is my absolute secret weapon to keeping myself as my priority!

The Self Care I Can’t Live Without!

I am a coffee girl! I ride and shine with a great cup of Java every day. I have taken, not only my coffee, but my priorities to the next level adding in Hello Amino Creamer.
A subtle flavouring that tastes incredible and I feel GOOD indulging in my morning coffee. Paired with the Hello Amino Icing, my sweet indulgence is no longer a guilty pleasure. It’s self care.

I can’t get enough of this product!

Omg, I’ve been following HA for a while and finally decided to order. I wish I didn’t wait so long! These lemon poppyseed pancakes are to die for, everyone in my house loves these! 10/10. We love lemon so we added a wee bit zest and juice to bolden the flavour. SOOOOO GOOOD!!

10/10 recommend Hello Amino

I had some friends recommend Hello Amino to me and I’m so glad they did. I’ve ordered thevanilla creamer and matcha and will be reordering both plus trying out new items too. The drinks are delicious and healthy and I love supporting small Canadian businesses. Definitely check them out if you’re in the market for some sweet treats to help hit your protein goals!

Good Protein Creamer Option

On my health journey I’ve been looking at ways to up my protein intake. This creamer is delicious, froths nicely and helps me hit my macros. I do have to add a tiny bit more sweetener but that’s likely just me because I like my coffees on the sweeter side.

Starbucks Dupe

I am a chronic Starbucks matcha drinker but I was looking for something healthier and a bit more budget friendly. I was skeptic that this matcha would compare but WOW it does. It’s so good, a fraction of the cost and actually good for me. I highly recommend if you enjoy a matcha latte.
