Print Recipe

A quick and simple cold brew protein coffee that combines caffeine and protein to fuel energy and muscle repair, perfect for a pre-workout boost with a creamy, rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee (medium-dark roast recommended)
  • 1 scoop (approx. 30 g) protein powder (whey or plant-based, vanilla-flavored preferred)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk (can substitute oat or coconut milk)
  • 1 cup (approx. 120 g) ice cubes
  • 1–2 teaspoons natural sweetener (maple syrup or honey, optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add 1 scoop (about 30 g) of protein powder into the blender. Pour in ½ cup (120 ml) of almond milk. Blend on low for 15-20 seconds until smooth and free of lumps. If using a shaker bottle, shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
  2. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee. Blend again for 10 seconds to combine.
  3. Add 1-2 teaspoons of natural sweetener, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Blend for another 5-10 seconds.
  4. Add 1 cup (approx. 120 g) of ice cubes. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds until creamy and frothy.
  5. Pour into your favorite mug or travel cup and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top.

Notes

Use room temperature almond milk to avoid clumping. Blend just until smooth to prevent heating the drink. Drink within 30 minutes for best flavor and freshness. Adjust thickness by adding almond milk or ice cubes as needed. Can substitute protein powder and milk to suit dietary needs.
