High-Protein Iced Coffee Latte
Nutrition per serving
Ingredients
- 400ml cold brew coffee, chilled
- 50g vanilla whey protein powder
- 300ml light milk, chilled
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 2 handfuls ice cubes
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, to dust
Instructions
Brew the cold brew the night before and chill it (or use good store-bought cold brew).
Add the cold brew, protein powder and honey (if using) to a shaker bottle.
Shake hard for 20 seconds until completely smooth with no lumps.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the coffee mixture over the ice, then slowly add the cold milk to create layers.
Dust with cinnamon and serve immediately with a straw.
This tastes like a coffee-shop indulgence and works like a post-workout snack. Strong cold brew gets shaken with vanilla protein powder until completely smooth — no lumps, that is the whole trick. Poured over ice with cold light milk, it settles into those beautiful café layers, finished with a dusting of cinnamon. Twenty-four grams of protein for about 210 calories, with a genuine caffeine kick. I make the cold brew the night before, and mornings take care of themselves.
