This iced coffee protein shake is a quick, creamy way to have your coffee and breakfast in one glass. It's made with real brewed coffee, a frozen banana and vanilla protein powder, and it tastes a little like coffee ice cream. It takes five minutes, and it's a great way to use up leftover coffee.
Ingredients (makes 1 large glass)
- 240ml strong brewed coffee, cooled in the fridge (or cold brew)
- 1 scoop (about 25g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 frozen banana, sliced
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed or porridge oats
- 120ml milk of your choice (oat or soy work well)
- A handful of ice cubes
Method
- Put everything except the ice in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add the ice and blend again briefly, or pour the shake over ice in a tall glass.
Tips
- Use strong coffee. Brew it a little stronger than usual so the coffee flavour comes through the banana and milk. A chocolatey or nutty coffee works best.
- Make it ahead. Keep a jar of cold brew in the fridge, and you can make this in seconds.
- Make it richer. Add a spoonful of peanut butter or a teaspoon of cocoa powder.
- Dairy-free? See our guide to the best non-dairy milk for coffee.
