Coffee Protein Shake
This Coffee Protein Shake blends cold brew coffee, unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana, peanut butter, and vanilla protein powder into a smooth, creamy drink. The shake offers a balanced flavor of coffee and peanut butter with natural sweetness from banana, making it a refreshing and energizing beverage that can serve as a breakfast or post-workout option. Optional ice cubes keep it chilled and thick.
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.
