Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 ounces brewed espresso (double shot)
- 1-2 cups ice
- 1 teaspoon raw sugar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 3/4 cup protein shake (flavor of your choice)
Instructions
- Brew the espresso: Brew a double shot of espresso directly over a mason jar or a glass filled with ice to chill the coffee immediately and preserve its bold flavor.
- Add sweeteners: Stir in the raw sugar and vanilla extract if using, to add a hint of sweetness and aroma to your iced coffee.
- Combine with protein shake: Pour in the protein shake and stir or shake the mixture thoroughly to blend the flavors and achieve a smooth consistency.
- Adjust and serve: Add more ice if desired to keep the drink extra cold, then enjoy your refreshing protein-packed iced coffee.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less raw sugar according to your taste.
- Choose a protein shake flavor that complements coffee, such as vanilla, chocolate, or mocha.
- For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based protein shake.
- To make the drink extra creamy, use a thicker protein shake or add a splash of milk or creamer.
- Ensure espresso is hot when poured over ice to allow proper chilling and slight dilution.
