Ingredients
    For the Coffee Shake Base
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (completely cooled or cold brew)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond or oat milk)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored recommended)
  • 1 medium banana (frozen for a thicker shake)
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4–6 ice cubes (adjust based on desired thickness)
    • Optional Toppings
  • 1 tablespoon whipped cream (optional)
  • A light dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon
  • A few coffee beans for garnish (for presentation only)
Instructions
    Prepare the Coffee
  1. 1
    Brew your coffee ahead of time and allow it to cool completely. Using hot coffee will melt the ice and dilute the shake, so chilled or cold brew coffee works best for a thick, creamy texture.
    2. Add Ingredients to Blender
  2. 2
    Pour the cooled coffee into a high-speed blender. Add milk, protein powder, frozen banana, nut butter, sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
    3. Blend Until Smooth
  3. 3
    Blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds, or until the shake becomes completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is well combined.
    4. Adjust Consistency
  4. 4
    If the shake is too thick, add a splash of milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes or half a frozen banana and blend again.
    5. Serve Immediately
  5. 5
    Pour the protein iced coffee shake into a tall chilled glass. Add optional toppings if desired and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Note
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use cold brew instead of regular coffee.
  • For a low-calorie version, skip nut butter and use unsweetened almond milk.
  • To make it vegan, use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk.
  • This shake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours in a sealed bottle. Shake well before drinking.
