- 120 ml milk of choice (such as almond or regular milk)
- 5 pieces ice cubes
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

4. Taste the iced coffee blend to adjust sweetness as needed. Add more sweetener if you prefer a sweeter taste.
5. Once well mixed and adjusted to your taste, pour the protein iced coffee into a tall glass.
6. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your nutritious and refreshing protein iced coffee.
