Ingredients
- 1 cup of brewed coffee, hot or cold, your choice!
- 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of milk, either dairy or plant-based, whatever you like
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
You can add whipped cream, a sprinkling of cinnamon, or more brown sugar on top if you choose.
You will need:
- A blender or a milk frother
- Spoons for measuring
- Small whisk (if you’re combining by hand)
- Mug
Instructions
- Make your coffee
Make one cup of your favorite coffee. If you want a warm drink, keep it hot. If you want an iced drink, let it cool. - Mix the ingredients together.
Put the protein powder, milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender. Mix until the mixture is smooth and foamy. - Combine with coffee
Add the foamy protein mixture to your coffee that you just made. Mix together by stirring gently. - Add toppings if you want
If you want to be fancy, put some whipped cream, cinnamon, or more brown sugar on top of your coffee.
Tips and Variations
For the greatest texture, mix it. When you add protein powder to hot coffee, it can occasionally get clumpy. For a smoother drink, mix it with the milk first.
Give it a try cold! Make your coffee ahead of time and let it cool. For a foamy iced coffee, mix everything together with ice.
Maple syrup and brown sugar make things sweeter, but you may change how much you use based on how sweet you want it.
Use a milk frother. A portable milk frother works well to mix everything together if you don’t have a blender.
Protein choices: Don’t like vanilla protein powder? For a fun variation, use chocolate or caramel!
- Change the vanilla protein powder to chocolate, caramel, or plain.
- Instead of maple syrup, use honey or agave.
- Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk are all fantastic substitutes for conventional milk.
- For a fall feel, add a little bit of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice.
If you’re making iced coffee, brew it the night before and put it in the fridge to cool.
Before you start, put the protein powder, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla in a container and shake them together. When you’re ready, shake it up and pour it into your coffee.
You should consume this drink right away, but if you want to make it ahead of time, you may keep the blended protein combination in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Before you add it to your coffee, shake it well.
