Basic Protein Iced Coffee Recipe
This is the basic version when you want something simple. You can add syrup later, but I’d make the plain version first so you know if the coffee is strong enough.
Equipment
- Shaker bottle, blender, milk frother, or a jar with a tight lid
- Measuring Cup:
- Glass for serving
- Spoon, because somehow you always need one
Ingredients
- ¾ cup strong iced coffee or cold brew
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 1 scoop protein powder or ½ to 1 ready-to-drink protein shake
- Ice
- Optional: vanilla syrup, maple syrup, cinnamon, cocoa, or a tiny pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add the milk and protein to a shaker, jar, or blender first.
- Shake or blend until it looks smooth. Check the sides if you’re using a jar, because powder likes to hide there.
- Add the strong iced coffee or cold brew.
- Fill a glass with ice, then pour the drink over it.
- Taste it before adding anything else. If it feels weak, add more coffee. If it tastes flat, a tiny pinch of salt or a little vanilla syrup can help.
