Coffee Protein Shake Recipe
A creamy, energizing shake that combines your morning coffee with a powerful dose of protein — perfect for busy mornings or post-workout recovery.
Equipment
- High-speed blender
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Glass or shaker bottle (optional for prep)
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brew or chilled coffee
- 1 scoop protein powder (whey, plant-based, or collagen)
- ½–1 cup milk or non-dairy milk
- ½ frozen banana (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Sweetener of choice (optional)
Optional Add-ins:
- 1 tbsp nut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Add coffee, milk, and protein powder to your blender.
- Toss in banana, sweetener, and any optional add-ins.
- Add ice and blend on high until creamy and smooth.
- Taste and adjust. Add more ice for thickness, more milk to thin.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For thicker shakes, freeze the banana or use less liquid.
- Use vanilla protein for a latte vibe or chocolate for a mocha twist.
- Don’t blend hot coffee directly — let it cool to avoid curdling the protein.
