A quick and easy iced protein coffee smoothie that is under 200 calories, perfect for busy mornings or a light snack. It combines rich cold brew coffee with protein powder and almond milk for a refreshing, energizing drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (4 fl oz) cold brew coffee concentrate
  • 1 scoop (about 30 grams) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • ¾ cup (6 fl oz) unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk for creamier texture)
  • 1 cup (about 4.2 oz) ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia) – optional
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Measure and prepare ingredients: Scoop 1 scoop (30 g) of your chosen protein powder, pour ½ cup (120 ml) of cold brew coffee concentrate, and ¾ cup (180 ml) of unsweetened almond milk into your blender.
  2. Add ice cubes: Add 1 cup (about 120 g) of ice cubes to provide that refreshing chill and creamy texture.
  3. Add flavorings: Drop in ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of ground cinnamon. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener now.
  4. Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high for 30–45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and frothy. You should see the ice fully crushed and the smoothie thickened.
  5. Check consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash of almond milk and blend again. Too thin? Toss in a few more ice cubes and pulse briefly.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour into your favorite glass or travel cup and enjoy straight away for the best icy texture.

Notes

Use a smooth, low-acid cold brew concentrate to avoid bitterness. Vanilla-flavored protein powders blend best. Use standard ice cubes for creamier texture. Sweeten after blending if unsure about sweetness. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming the smoothie. For plant-based protein powders, blend a bit longer to avoid graininess. Adjust coffee strength with more almond milk if needed.
