A creamy, protein-packed iced coffee topped with a light and airy vanilla cold foam, perfect for a quick and satisfying morning boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream or coconut cream
  • Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee into your serving glass. If you don’t have cold brew ready, brew a strong cup of coffee and chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before using.
  2. Scoop 1 serving (about 30 g) of vanilla protein powder into the cold brew. Stir or gently whisk until fully dissolved. Using a shaker bottle can help reduce clumps.
  3. Fill the glass with about 1 cup of ice cubes, leaving room for the foam.
  4. In a separate small pitcher or bowl, combine ¼ cup (60 ml) of heavy cream or coconut cream with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of sweetener. Use a blender or handheld frother to whip the mixture until light, frothy, and nearly doubled in volume (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Spoon or gently pour the vanilla cold foam over the iced coffee, creating a creamy layer on top.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on the foam for added aroma and flavor.
  7. Enjoy immediately, sipping through the foam. Stir if you prefer a more blended flavor.

Notes

[‘Use cold cream for better frothing results.’, ‘Dissolve protein powder in a small amount of milk first to avoid clumps.’, ‘Use fresh ice cubes to prevent watering down the drink.’, ‘Make the cold foam fresh as it deflates after 10-15 minutes.’, ‘For dairy-free, use coconut cream and plant-based milk.’, ‘Adjust sweetener to taste; too much can overpower the coffee.’, ‘If no blender, a handheld frother or shaking in a jar can work for foam.’]
