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

Instructions

  1. Brew the espresso: Brew a double shot of espresso directly over a mason jar or glass filled with ice to chill it immediately and preserve the robust flavor.
  2. Add sweeteners: Stir in the raw sugar and vanilla extract if using, to enhance the sweetness and aroma of the coffee.
  3. Mix with protein shake: Pour the protein shake into the glass and stir or shake well to combine the coffee and protein thoroughly, creating a creamy and nutritious drink.
  4. Adjust and serve: Add more ice if desired for a colder beverage, then enjoy your refreshing Protein Iced Coffee immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute the espresso with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of strongly brewed coffee if you prefer a milder caffeine option.
  • Espresso powder can be used as an instant espresso alternative to speed up preparation.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, reduce the protein shake quantity to 1/2 cup, which will make the drink less creamy but more robust.
