 Are you a coffee lover? Have you ever tried coffee in your yogurt? Mocha Coffee Yogurt is easy to make. Nutritious, healthy and delicious. A must try!

Thick, creamy, and the perfect blend of coffee and chocolate. It’s like a double dose of coffee in the morning. The BEST coffee yogurt ever!

Going to the coffee shop and having a cafe mocha latte is one of my favourite things to do. Along with a slice of coffee cake too.

The chocolate and coffee flavour combination is so delicious. How about a Chocolate Milk Latte?

This easy recipe gives you a caffeine fix with the added health benefits from yogurt.

RECIPE and INSTRUCTIONS for this yogurt and coffee recipe are at the bottom of this post.

I even love adding coffee flavour in baking. Chewy Cookies are seriously addictive. Need a great gluten-free treat? Baked Chocolate Chile Mocha Donut are fun to make.

The ingredients to make coffee flavoured yogurt

Shopping List Ingredients

You only need 3 things!

  • plain yogurt
  • instant espresso powder
  • cocoa powder

I got this idea after tasting a store-bought version. You will be amazed at how easy it is to make.

What Is the Best Yogurt To Use?

You can use any kind of yogurt you like. For this recipe I used Skyr. Greek yogurt would work well too. If you like, you could even use a vanilla flavoured too.

Best Espresso Granules?

You can use any type of *(affiliate) instant espresso powder you like.

Want A Single Serve Portion?

No problem. Decrease the amount of espresso and cocoa powders. Add to your individual container, mix and enjoy.

If you have ever tasted the Vietnamese yogurt coffee drink called Sua Chua Cafe, you know how delicious yogurt in coffee can be. Now, switch it up and put coffee in yogurt.

Makaing Mocha Coffee Yogurt At Home

This recipe is super easy to make.

  1. Measure all the ingredients into a bowl.
  2. Mix.
  3. Eat.

This is a quick and delicious way to enjoy coffee and yogurt for breakfast. Perfect for lunch, or a snack too.

You can easily adjust the mocha flavour by increasing or decreasing the amount of espresso powder and cocoa powder you use.

What Is Skyr?

A super thick, high protein, low-fat yogurt. Classed as a fresh sour milk cheese, it is made with skim milk.

A traditional Icelandic breakfast would be mixing equal amounts of Skyr and porridge (oatmeal). It can be mixed with fruit as a healthy dessert option. I have used it in place of sour cream too.

2 bowls of mocha yogurt ready for toppings.

Add-Ins

Plain yogurt is tart for sure. I like it, but hubby does not. I find the vanilla flavoured is the perfect sweetness for me.

To make it sweeter you can add a bit of:

  • honey
  • maple syrup
  • coconut sugar
  • agave nectar

I find just the addition of FRESH BERRIES will also sweeten things up. You can add:

  • strawberries
  • blueberries
  • raspberries
  • blackberries

It doesn’t have to stop with berries. Other fruit will work too. Try some of these:

  • bananas
  • mango
  • peaches
  • nectarines
  • pineapple
  • apples
  • pears
  • fresh figs

If you haven’t been shopping, and fresh fruit is not in the house, you can use frozen fruit (although I find frozen is more tart). If that doesn’t work, add some:

  • dried figs
  • dates
  • a bit of any type of fruit jam
A bowl of yogurt topped with berries and granola.

Homemade granola is THE BEST!! Healthy Granola Cherry Almond Mocha recipe is the perfect topping here. It will add another level of delicious coffee flavour.

For another topping idea try this Easy Muesli Recipe. If you are in the holiday season Festive Crunchy Granola is a great choice.

Seriously I have eaten this coffee yogurt for breakfast, lunch, and as a snack. It also makes as a healthy dessert option. When healthy tastes this good, you can indulge all you like.

A spoon in a bowl of yogurt, berries and granola.

Start your morning with coffee in your yogurt. Mocha Coffee Yogurt is easy, healthy and delicious. Mix up a batch and have it all week long. Just scoop into a bowl, add some toppings and ENJOY!

Talking about delicious breakfast ideas, have you tried Smashed Avocado on Toast? I could eat this for any meal of the day.

    One of my favorite flavors of anything is coffee and adding chocolate just puts it over the top. This would be a great way to start my day.

    This is such a great way to kick your yogurt up a notch. I’m a coffee fiend in the morning—especially now with a newborn at home. Ha. I’ve been looking at different ways to enjoy it, like in smoothies and cold brews. This is going on my list!

    What a great idea! Let’s have all the cake and eat it, too! I’ve never had coffee yogurt before, but now I’m wondering why! I can’t wait to make this – thanks for adding the tips about making it a little sweet, too!

    We have some form of yogurt for breakfast every morning — but never with coffee. I’m picking up some espresso powder at the grocery store today– can’t wait to make the yogurt. I may just make it for dessert instead. A nice afternoon snack too.

    Big mocha fan here, so you’ll be happy to know that I devoured every bite. I would have never thought to add espresso and chocolate to yogurt. This delicious parfait can be enjoyed anytime of day!

    Oh wow this is like a dream breakfast! I haven’t had skyr, but I make a yogurt smoothie every single morning. I’ll gladly add some coffee in there! YUM!

    Going to give this a try with my home made low carb cold start IP yogurt and Splenda. I love coffee flavored yogurt so this seems like the perfect way to go for me.

    Coffee yogurt?! Wow that sound pretty great! One thing I love about blogging is finding all types of great unique recipes. I always get so much inspiration! Thanks for sharing!

    First off I love SKYR yogurt! It is so thick!! I always have espresso powder packets on hand for baking but never thought to mix them in my yogurt! Now I don’t have to sneak off to a coffee shop for my “me time” either. Though I do love getting out f the house and sitting there with my headphones on smelling fresh coffee in a comfy chair! Downside is that I have to put on make up!!!

    Yum! This would totally hit the spot on this Monday morning. i love that you added espresso powder right to the yogurt and built a parfait with it! Can’t wait to try this!

    Coffee and a parfait all in one? This is my kind of recipe! My favorite yogurt depends on the mood, but I’ve been really enjoying Vanilla Greek yogurt lately, it’s got a really good flavor and consistency. Have you tried chia in your yogurt? it’s something new that I’ve found that’s really good!

    Breakfast is one meal that I skip the most knowing that it is the most important meal of my day. I really should start taking inspiration from such great tasting yet simple to make recipes to get myself into the breakfast routine. I am a coffee lover and love yogurt more than anything else in the world. This will work great for me!
