Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 scoop (30 grams) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- ½ cup (120 grams) Greek yogurt, plain, full-fat or low-fat (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan)
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk)
- ½ medium banana, frozen or fresh (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust or omit to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4–6 ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew and chill your coffee if not already cold. Let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
- Add cooled coffee, protein powder, Greek yogurt, milk, banana, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and ice cubes to a blender.
- Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon if desired, then blend briefly again.
- Pour into a shaker bottle or glass. If prepping ahead, seal tightly and refrigerate. Shake well before drinking.
Notes
Use cold or chilled coffee to prevent melting the ice and thinning the shake. Adjust sweetness last to taste. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder, dairy-free yogurt, and non-dairy milk. Shake well before drinking if stored. Consume within 48 hours for best taste and texture.
