A quick and easy creamy vanilla protein iced coffee shake that provides a refreshing boost with smooth, velvety texture and balanced flavor. Perfect for mornings, post-workout, or anytime you need an energizing treat without the crash.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed coffee, cooled (medium roast preferred)
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk or milk alternative (whole milk, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (about 120 g) ice cubes
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup, honey, or sugar substitute (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of medium roast coffee and let it cool completely.
  2. Pour the cooled coffee into a blender.
  3. Add 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk or milk alternative, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup (about 120 g) ice cubes.
  4. If desired, add 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey and 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt for extra sweetness and creaminess.
  5. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla if needed by blending a few more seconds.
  7. If too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add more ice cubes and blend again.
  8. Serve immediately in a glass or shaker bottle, optionally garnished with a dusting of cinnamon or a vanilla bean pod.

Notes

Use cooled coffee to avoid melting the ice and diluting the shake. Choose a high-quality vanilla protein powder with minimal added sugar for best texture and flavor. For dairy-free versions, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives. Avoid over-blending to prevent heating the shake. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid protein residue buildup.
