Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled to room temperature)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
  • 1 medium banana (frozen for a creamier texture)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled shake)

Instructions

  1. Brew the Coffee: Start by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee. Let it cool to room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, place it in the fridge for a few minutes.
  2. Prepare the Banana: Peel and slice the banana. For a creamier shake, use a frozen banana. Just peel, slice, and freeze for a couple of hours before making your shake.
  3. Gather Your Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are ready and within reach for a smoother blending process.
  4. Combine the Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, protein powder, frozen banana, almond butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until well combined and smooth. For a thicker shake, add more protein powder or ice cubes.
  6. Adjust Consistency: Check the shake’s consistency. If too thick, add more almond milk and blend again. If too thin, add more protein powder or ice cubes.
  7. Taste Test: Taste the shake. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey or maple syrup and blend again.
  8. Add Ice (Optional): For a colder shake, add a handful of ice cubes and pulse until crushed and incorporated.
  9. Pour into Glasses: Pour the shake into your favorite glass or a to-go cup.
  10. Garnish (Optional): Garnish with cocoa powder, coffee beans, or a drizzle of almond butter for extra flair.
  11. Enjoy Immediately: Best enjoyed fresh. Sip it straight from the glass or with a straw.

Notes

  • Storing Leftovers: If you have leftovers, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking as it may separate.
  • Freezing for Later: Freeze blended shake in ice cube trays for a quick protein boost later. Blend cubes with a splash of almond milk when ready to enjoy.
