Print Recipe

A quick and easy protein shake combining cold-brew coffee, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk for a creamy, energy-boosting drink with a subtle vanilla-almond flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold-brew coffee, chilled
  • 1 scoop (about 30 grams) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon raw almond butter
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ cup (about 120 ml) ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare cold-brew coffee if not pre-made by steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold water (1 cup coffee grounds to 4 cups water) for 12–18 hours in the fridge, then strain.
  2. Add 1 cup cold-brew coffee, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon raw almond butter, and ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey if desired, 1 teaspoon chia seeds if using, and ½ cup ice cubes.
  4. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more maple syrup/honey or almond milk, blending again if needed.
  6. Serve immediately in a glass and enjoy. Refrigerate leftovers up to 12 hours and stir before drinking.

Notes

Use room temperature almond butter for smoother blending. Chill liquids before blending to reduce ice needed and avoid dilution. Scrape blender sides and blend again if almond butter chunks remain. Shake or stir before drinking if separated after sitting.
