A quick and easy creamy protein coffee shake combining cold brew, chocolate protein powder, and a hint of cinnamon for a delicious and energizing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ ripe banana, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener like honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee, 1 scoop (30g) chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt, ½ sliced ripe banana, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon if using. Add 4–5 ice cubes.
  2. Place all ingredients into the blender jar in this order: liquids first (cold brew, almond milk, vanilla extract), then powders (protein powder, cocoa), followed by yogurt, banana slices, cinnamon, and ice cubes on top.
  3. Blend starting on low speed, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds until creamy and smooth with no lumps. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or ice/frozen banana as needed.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired, then pulse briefly again.
  5. Pour into a glass or shaker bottle and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top.

Notes

Add powders in the middle of the blender jar between liquids and solids to avoid clumping. Use cold brew concentrate diluted 1:1 with water for smooth flavor. Ripe banana adds natural sweetness; adjust with honey or syrup if needed. Pulse blending helps prevent motor overwork. For frothier texture, blend an extra 15 seconds on high. Store in airtight container refrigerated up to 24 hours; stir before drinking. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
