A refreshing, energizing iced vanilla coffee that is high in protein, low in calories, and perfect for any time of day. This creamy, smooth drink combines brewed coffee with vanilla protein powder and almond milk for a guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 1 cup ice cubes
  • 12 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener or a drizzle of honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of your preferred coffee. Let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  2. In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and sweetener if using.
  3. Blend on medium speed for 20-30 seconds until smooth and creamy. Add more almond milk if too thick.
  4. Fill a tall glass with about 1 cup of ice cubes.
  5. Pour the blended coffee mixture over the ice and stir gently.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly brewed coffee cooled to room temperature to avoid clumping. Choose a smooth vanilla protein powder for best texture. Adjust sweetener to taste. For dairy-free, use plant-based protein and milk. Can prep coffee and protein blend ahead and add ice before serving. Avoid freezing mixed drink to preserve texture.
