Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
- 1 scoop (about 30 g) chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (optional, e.g., maple syrup, honey, sugar substitute)
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- Measure out 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee, 1 scoop (30 g) chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and sweetener if using.
- Add the cold brew, protein powder, almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and sweetener into your blender.
- Blend on high for about 30 seconds until creamy and free of clumps. Add more almond milk if too thick.
- Add about 1 cup (120 g) of ice cubes and blend again for 10-15 seconds to crush the ice and chill the drink.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more sweetener and blending briefly.
- Pour into a glass or tumbler and serve immediately. Optionally top with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Notes
Blend base ingredients first before adding ice to avoid diluting flavor. Use cold ingredients for best texture. Adjust sweetener to taste. For stronger coffee flavor, add an espresso shot before blending. Shake vigorously in a sealed jar if no blender is available.
