Protein Coffee
Description
The Protein Coffee recipe incorporates cold brew coffee mixed in a blender with vanilla protein powder, and optionally cinnamon and vanilla extract. Blending creates a frothy, uniform texture where the protein powder dissolves into the coffee base. The optional spices add a mild aromatic complexity without overpowering the smooth vanilla and coffee notes.
Serving this drink over ice with a splash of oat milk, almond milk, or coffee creamer rounds out the flavor, adding creaminess and softening the bitterness of the coffee. The drink combines caffeine and protein in one beverage, making it suitable for a morning or post-workout pick-me-up.
Since some protein powder may settle after standing, the recipe notes to stir before drinking to maintain an even consistency. This simple preparation requires minimal ingredients and equipment, ideal for a quick, energizing drink.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coffee cold brew preparation
- 1 coop protein powder 25 grams, vanilla
- cinnamon optional, dash

Instructions
- Add cold brew, protein powder, cinnamon and vanilla (is using) to blender. Blend until combined and frothy.

- As the protein coffee sits some of the powder might sink to the bottom of the glass. If that happens, just give it a big stir to combine again!
