Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- Heat the Milk: Warm 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling, about 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, heat in a microwave-safe cup for 1-1.5 minutes.
- Blend with Protein Powder: Pour the heated milk into a blender and add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. Blend for 15-30 seconds until smooth and frothy.
- Add Coffee and Stir: Pour 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee into a mug, then add the blended milk and protein mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Notes
- Use your preferred milk type, such as almond, oat, or cow’s milk, to suit dietary needs.
- Adjust the strength of the coffee to taste by modifying the amount of espresso or brewed coffee.
- For a colder version, use chilled milk and coffee and blend with ice.
- This recipe can be customized with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
