Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine. If you don't have an espresso machine, brew a strong coffee with a drip maker or French press using approximately 1/2 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of ground coffee.
In a blender, combine almond milk, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed until the protein powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes until it is about 3/4 full.
Pour the freshly brewed espresso over the ice cubes.
Add the protein-enriched almond milk mixture over the espresso in the glass.
Stir gently to mix the espresso with the almond milk and ensure everything is well combined.
Taste the latte, and if you prefer it sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and stir until incorporated.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your creamy and energizing iced almond milk latte.
