Iced Coffee Protein Shake: A 5-Minute Breakfast Recipe

An iced coffee protein shake in a glass

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

  1. Put everything except the ice in a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. 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.
