Description
Refresh with this easy Iced Coffee Protein Shake recipe packed with protein, banana, and almond milk for a healthy energy boost.
Ingredients
-
2 cups of ice
-
3/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened preferred)
-
1 cup cold coffee (brewed and chilled)
-
1 frozen banana
-
1 scoop of protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor works well)
Instructions
-
Prepare Your Coffee: Brew your favorite coffee and allow it to chill completely in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight. Cold coffee is essential to keep the shake refreshing without melting the ice too quickly.
-
Add Ingredients to Blender: In a high-speed blender, add 2 cups of ice, 3/4 cup almond milk, 1 cup of cold coffee, 1 frozen banana, and 1 scoop of protein powder.
-
Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until the mixture is creamy and smooth with no large chunks of ice or banana.
-
Taste and Adjust: Give your shake a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a small amount of natural sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute and blend briefly again.
-
Serve Immediately: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Use a frozen banana to add natural sweetness and creaminess without extra sugar.
Opt for unsweetened almond milk to keep calories in check.
Experiment with protein powder flavors to find your favorite combination.
Ensure the coffee is fully chilled before blending to avoid watering down the shake.
