Ingredients

Scale

Liquids

  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 cup chilled cold brew coffee concentrate
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Protein & Produce

  • 1 scoop (32g) vanilla whey protein isolate
  • 1/2 medium frozen banana

Others

  • 1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Combine liquids. Pour the skim milk and chilled cold brew coffee concentrate into the base of a high-speed blender, creating the flavorful liquid foundation of your shake.
  2. Add protein and banana. Add one scoop of vanilla whey protein isolate, the half frozen banana, and vanilla extract to the liquids to introduce sweetness, creaminess, and protein content.
  3. Add ice cubes. Incorporate the ice cubes to chill the mixture and help achieve the desired thick, refreshing texture.
  4. Blend until smooth. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on the highest speed for 45 to 60 seconds. Blend until the mixture becomes completely emulsified and smooth, ensuring an even texture.
  5. Serve immediately. Pour the shake into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately to maintain optimal texture and the stability of the protein and flavors.

Notes

  • Use frozen banana for natural sweetness and creaminess without added sugar.
  • Adjust ice quantity to achieve preferred thickness.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute skim milk with almond or oat milk and use a plant-based protein powder.
  • Consume immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
  • Cold brew coffee concentrate can be diluted if too strong depending on personal taste.
