Coffee Protein Shake
Description
The recipe starts by combining cold brew coffee or iced coffee with almond milk in a high-speed blender. Adding a frozen banana provides creaminess and cold temperature without diluting flavors. Peanut butter enriches the shake with nutty taste and healthy fats, while vanilla protein powder contributes to the shake’s nutritional profile and mild sweetness. Blending all ingredients until smooth creates a thick and satisfying texture.
The shake’s flavor balances the bitterness of coffee with the mellow sweetness from banana and vanilla, alongside a rich peanut butter note. Using cold brew coffee reduces acidity for a smoother taste. Adding ice cubes is optional depending on how thick or cold you prefer the shake.
This protein shake suits occasions where you want a quick, nourishing drink with caffeine and protein to fuel your day or recovery. Freezing leftover coffee into ice cubes can intensify coffee flavor while preventing dilution if added as ice.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cold brew coffee or iced coffee
- ½ cup almond milk unsweetened, plain or vanilla
- 1 small banana frozen
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 coop protein powder vanilla
- ice optional, cubes
Instructions
- Combine the coffee, almond milk, frozen banana, peanut butter, and protein powder in a high-speed blender. If desired, add a few ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Cold brew coffee has a smoother, less acidic flavor than regular iced coffee and can be homemade or purchased.
- Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays to add to shakes without diluting coffee flavor.
- Vanilla protein powder works best, but chocolate protein powder offers a mocha variation.
- Frozen banana thickens the shake and adds natural sweetness; peel and store extra bananas in the freezer for convenience.
- Adjust thickness by adding or omitting ice cubes according to preference.
