Print Recipe

A quick and easy protein-packed coffee shake over ice that provides a creamy, energizing, and refreshing morning boost without the usual caffeine crash.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed coffee, cooled (cold brew preferred)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla-flavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk or whole milk
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup, honey, or preferred sweetener (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew and chill 1 cup (240 ml) of your preferred coffee—cold brew is ideal, or strong brewed coffee cooled in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Pour the cooled coffee, 1 scoop (30g) of vanilla protein powder, and 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk into a blender. Add sweetener and vanilla extract if using.
  3. Add 1 cup (about 150 g) of ice cubes to the blender.
  4. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the ice is fully crushed and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more sweetener or milk if needed, then blend briefly again.
  6. Pour into a tall glass, garnish with cinnamon or cocoa powder if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use cold brew or well-chilled brewed coffee to avoid a watery shake. Blend milk and protein powder first if your protein tends to clump. Fresh ice cubes yield the best texture. Vanilla extract adds warmth and depth. Optional garnishes like cinnamon or cocoa powder enhance flavor. Variations include adding cocoa powder for mocha, nut butter for creaminess, or berries for a fruity twist.
