Shaker Bottle
Mug or Glass
- 1/4 cup whole milk (or your preferred milk, cold)
- 1 scoop whey protein isolate (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- 2 tbsp sugar-free vanilla syrup (optional)
- 6 ounces brewed coffee (hot or cold brew; or 1/4 cup espresso for a stronger kick)
In a jar with a lid or a shaker bottle, combine the cold milk, your chosen protein powder, and the optional sugar-free vanilla syrup.
Seal the jar or bottle tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is frothy and the protein powder is completely dissolved, leaving no clumps.
For a hot protein coffee: Pour your freshly brewed hot coffee into your favorite mug, then gently pour the shaken protein mixture over the top. Give it a quick stir.
For an iced protein coffee: Fill a glass with ice. Pour your chilled coffee or cold brew over the ice, then add the frothy protein mixture. Stir everything well to combine.
Sip and savor your delicious, protein-packed coffee!
This recipe is incredibly versatile! Adjust the amount of milk or coffee to your preference. For extra creaminess, try frothing the protein mixture even longer.
