A quick and easy creamy protein coffee shake that combines cold brewed coffee with vanilla whey protein, almond milk, and Greek yogurt for a delicious and energizing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brewed coffee
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 teaspoons natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
  • ½ cup (about 4–5 ice cubes)
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee: Start with strong cold brewed coffee (1 cup / 240 ml). If you don’t have cold brew on hand, brew a regular cup of coffee and chill it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare ingredients: Measure out 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla whey protein powder, ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt, and 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk.
  3. Combine in blender: Add the cold coffee, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, 1-2 teaspoons natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup), a pinch of ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into the blender.
  4. Add ice: Toss in about ½ cup (4-5 cubes) of ice to give your shake that creamy, frosty texture.
  5. Blend: Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You’re looking for a velvety texture with no protein clumps.
  6. Taste test: Give your shake a quick taste. If it needs a bit more sweetness, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and blend again.
  7. Serve immediately: Pour into your favorite glass or shaker bottle and enjoy! This shake is best fresh but can be stored briefly in the fridge.

Notes

Use cold brew coffee for best flavor and to avoid bitterness. Let protein powder come to room temperature to prevent clumping. Blend ice last to avoid watering down the shake. Adjust sweetness gradually. Store in fridge up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
