Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup chilled strong brewed coffee or 2 shots of espresso
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 scoop protein powder (unflavoured and unsweetened whey protein recommended)
  • 13 teaspoons maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass: Fill a 16 ounce jar or glass with the ice cubes and add the chilled coffee or espresso on top.
  2. Blend the protein mixture: In a blender, combine the milk, protein powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, and optional sea salt. Blend the mixture until smooth and frothy.
  3. Combine and serve: Pour the blended protein mixture over the coffee and ice, then stir well to combine all the flavors. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use chilled coffee or espresso for best results to avoid dilution from melting ice.
  • Adjust maple syrup amount according to preferred sweetness level.
  • Whey protein is suggested, but plant-based protein powder can be used for a vegan option.
  • Adding a pinch of sea salt enhances the flavor but is optional.
  • For a creamier texture, use whole milk or a milk alternative like oat milk.
