Print Recipe

A creamy, rich mocha-banana protein shake combining cold brew coffee, ripe banana, and chocolate protein powder for a quick, delicious, and nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee (or strong brewed coffee cooled)
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon (5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Measure out cold brew coffee, ripe banana, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), and any sweetener or vanilla extract.
  2. Add banana, protein powder, cocoa powder, milk, and yogurt (if using) to the blender first. Then pour in the cold brew coffee.
  3. Add 4-5 ice cubes to chill and thicken the shake without diluting flavor.
  4. Secure the lid and blend on high for 45-60 seconds until silky smooth with no banana chunks. Adjust thickness by adding more milk, coffee, banana, or ice as needed.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup and blend briefly again. Add vanilla extract if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Cold brew coffee is preferred for smoothness and less acidity. Blend banana and milk first to avoid clumps. Use ice to chill without watering down. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and re-blend before drinking.
