Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (8 fl oz) cold brew coffee
- 1 scoop (about 30 grams) vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup (8 fl oz) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup (2 fl oz) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4–5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: Measure out cold brew coffee, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, cinnamon, and ice cubes.
- Add liquid ingredients to the blender: Pour cold brew coffee and almond milk into the blender jar first.
- Add the protein powder and Greek yogurt to the blender.
- Add honey (or maple syrup) and cinnamon to balance the coffee’s bitterness and add warmth.
- Add ice cubes last for a chilled, frothy smoothie.
- Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Check consistency: If too thick, add more almond milk and pulse again; if too thin, add more ice cubes or yogurt.
- Pour and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
Notes
Use quality cold brew for smoother flavor. Blend liquids first, then powders, then ice to avoid clumping. Use fresh cinnamon for best aroma. Adjust sweetness to taste. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt. Store in fridge up to 24 hours, stir before drinking. Do not reheat.
