Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup brewed coffee (chilled)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you prefer)

Flavor & Sweetener

  • 12 teaspoons pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Protein

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (vegan or whey)

Extras

  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew and Chill Your Coffee: Brew 1 cup of coffee and let it cool completely. For best results, chill it in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight to ensure a refreshing iced drink.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chilled coffee, almond milk, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring all powdered ingredients dissolve well.
  3. Pour Over Ice: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the blended coffee mixture on top to keep it cold and refreshing.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top or drizzle extra maple syrup for added flavor and visual appeal. Add a metal straw if desired and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use your favorite milk alternative such as oat, soy, or regular dairy milk if preferred.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity depending on your desired sweetness.
  • For a stronger coffee taste, use cold brew concentrate instead of brewed coffee.
  • To make it vegan, choose a plant-based protein powder and milk substitute.
  • Prepare coffee ahead of time and chill to speed up the recipe preparation.
  • Adding cinnamon not only garnishes but gives a subtle spicy flavor that pairs well.
