A creamy iced protein coffee shake combining freshly brewed espresso, vanilla protein powder, and milk for a refreshing and energizing treat that’s perfect as a quick mini-meal or post-workout boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) freshly brewed and cooled espresso
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or preferred sweetener) – optional
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt – optional

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) of espresso using your machine or moka pot. Set aside to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  2. Scoop 1 scoop (30g) of vanilla protein powder into your blender.
  3. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) of your milk of choice.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1–2 teaspoons sweetener if desired.
  5. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to chill and thicken the shake.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt if you want a richer, creamier texture (optional).
  7. Pour in the cooled espresso shots.
  8. Blend everything on high for about 30 seconds or until smooth and frothy.
  9. Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla as needed, then pulse to combine.
  10. Serve immediately in your favorite glass.

Notes

Cool espresso thoroughly before blending to avoid watery texture. Add protein powder to liquid first, then ice, and blend immediately to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness after blending. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives. Can add frozen banana or avocado for extra creaminess. Store in fridge up to 24 hours, shake before drinking.
