Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 dropper full liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature or use chilled coffee for a colder version.
In a blender, combine the brewed coffee, unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, and vanilla extract.
Blend the ingredients on high for about 30 seconds until the protein powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Taste for sweetness and add liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener to your preference, blending again briefly to mix.
In a tall glass, add the ice cubes to fill the glass about halfway to three-quarters full.
Pour the blended coffee mixture over the ice, stirring gently to chill the mixture throughout.
Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a cinnamon stick for added flavor.
