Description
A quick, 5-minute high-protein coffee shake made with cold brew, vanilla whey protein, Greek yogurt, and almond butter for a creamy, satisfying meal replacement or pre-workout fuel.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
- 1 scoop (approx. 30 grams) vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Ensure cold brew coffee is fully chilled.
- Pour cold brew coffee into the blender jar first, followed by the Greek yogurt.
- Blend base ingredients on low speed for 10 seconds until frothy.
- Add vanilla whey protein powder, almond butter, and optional sweetener.
- Add ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until thick, creamy, and uniform.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness if needed.
- Serve immediately in a tall glass.
Notes
Use cold brew or refrigerated coffee to prevent ice from melting too quickly. Ensure almond butter is well-stirred before measuring. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based protein and coconut yogurt. Do not reheat, as proteins may curdle.
