Creamy High Protein Coffee Shake


  • Author: jonathan_evans
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

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

  1. Ensure cold brew coffee is fully chilled.
  2. Pour cold brew coffee into the blender jar first, followed by the Greek yogurt.
  3. Blend base ingredients on low speed for 10 seconds until frothy.
  4. Add vanilla whey protein powder, almond butter, and optional sweetener.
  5. Add ice cubes to the blender.
  6. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until thick, creamy, and uniform.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness if needed.
  8. 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.
