  1. Prepare Coffee: Brew a cup of strong coffee (cold brew or espresso works best). Let it cool or use pre-made cold brew.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 cup of coffee, and 1/2 cup of milk or milk alternative.
  3. Add Sweetener (Optional): If desired, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or your favorite sweetener.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, blend a mix of oat and almond milk.
  • To avoid clumps, whisk protein powder with a small amount of liquid before blending or use a high-speed blender.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your preference or skip it entirely for a low-calorie version.
  • Experiment with different protein powder flavors like chocolate or caramel to keep things fun and flavorful!
