Instructions
- Place the protein powder in a glass or foaming pitcher and pour the milk on top. Use a handheld frother to mix them together until frothy.
- Fill a glass with ice and pour in the iced coffee or 2 shots of espresso, to make an iced latte. Add any desired sweetener like sugar or stevia. Pour in the foamed protein milk. Add a straw and enjoy!
- To Make This Hot: Follow the same recipe but pour the protein milk into 8 ounces of hot coffee (or 2 shots of espresso) instead of iced coffee.
Notes
- vanilla
- chocolate
- Cold brew coffee
- make my own cold brew
- protein shake
- Be sure to use a protein powder that you like the taste of. You can experiment with different flavors like vanilla, chocolate or caramel.
- For an extra protein boost, consider using a protein-rich milk like dairy milk or soy milk. I also like to use oat milk because it foams up well and becomes very creamy.
- Cold brew coffee is an excellent option for this recipe, as it offers a smooth and robust flavor. I like to make my own cold brew but you can also buy it. For a stronger drink, I will brew a couple of shots of espresso.
- Use coffee ice cubes made from your favorite coffee to keep your iced protein coffee from diluting.
- You can also make protein coffee with a prepared protein shake instead of protein powder. Try to find one that doesn't have too much added sugar.
