Ingredients
Scale
Shake Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 scoop caramel protein powder
- 1/2 cup milk (your choice: dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup ice
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Brew and cool coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the ice and diluting the shake.
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, caramel protein powder, milk, caramel sauce, and ice.
- Blend: Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all the protein powder is well incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more caramel sauce or ice as desired.
- Serve: Pour the shake into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce if using for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- Use strong coffee to ensure the coffee flavor stands out after blending with milk and ice.
- You can substitute the milk with any dairy-free alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust the amount of caramel sauce to control sweetness to your preference.
- For a thicker shake, add more ice or use frozen coffee cubes.
- Ensure the coffee is fully cooled before blending to prevent melting the ice too quickly.
