Print Recipe

A quick and easy coffee protein shake that combines cold brew coffee, vanilla whey protein, and almond milk for a smooth, creamy, and energizing morning boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt (optional but recommended)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–6 ice cubes
  • Optional boosters: 1 tablespoon chia seeds or 1 teaspoon MCT oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare your coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee or use cold brew concentrate. Chill it in the fridge or use already cold brew coffee.
  2. Add cold brew coffee, vanilla whey protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, and ground cinnamon into the blender.
  3. Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter shake (optional).
  4. Add 4-6 ice cubes to chill and thicken the shake.
  5. Add optional boosters like chia seeds or MCT oil if desired.
  6. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth, scraping down the sides if needed.
  7. Adjust consistency by adding more almond milk if too thick or extra ice if too thin, then blend briefly.
  8. Serve immediately in a glass or travel tumbler, optionally garnished with a pinch of cinnamon.

Notes

Use cold brew or chilled coffee to prevent clumping and watery texture. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and extra protein. For dairy-free or vegan options, swap whey protein with plant-based vanilla protein and Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt. Adjust sweetness to taste. Add ice last to control thickness.
