Shake Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 scoop caramel protein powder
- 1/2 cup milk (your choice)
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup ice
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method and allow it to cool to room temperature or chill it in the fridge to speed up the process.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, caramel protein powder, your choice of milk, caramel sauce, and ice cubes to create the base of the shake.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the shake into a tall glass and, if preferred, top it with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee to ensure the coffee flavor stands out against the sweetness.
- Choose milk based on dietary preferences: almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk all work well.
- For a thicker shake, add more ice or use frozen coffee cubes.
- Adjust caramel sauce quantity to control sweetness according to taste.
- Protein powder flavor can vary; caramel flavor complements best but vanilla can be a good substitute.
