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)
- 1–3 teaspoons maple syrup (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a 16 ounce jar or glass with the ice cubes and add the chilled coffee or espresso on top.
- 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.
- 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.
