Kickstart your day with a refreshing and protein-packed Peanut Butter Iced Coffee Protein Shake. This creamy blend combines the bold flavor of espresso with the richness of peanut butter and the health benefits of collagen peptide protein powder. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a post-workout treat.
Ingredients
- 1 espresso shot
- 3/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
- 2 scoops collagen peptide protein powder
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder of your choice
- Ice cubes
- Optional: coffee syrup for added sweetness
Instructions
Step 1: Brew the Espresso
Start by brewing a fresh shot of espresso using your espresso machine or a strong coffee maker. Ensure the espresso is hot and strong for a bold flavor. Once brewed, set it aside and let it cool slightly to avoid melting the ice cubes too quickly when blended.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients in Blender
In a high-speed blender, combine the cooled espresso, 3/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 2 tablespoons of PB2, 2 scoops of collagen peptide protein powder, and 1 scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder. This blend of ingredients will create a rich, creamy texture and provide a substantial amount of protein to fuel your day.
Step 3: Add Ice
Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender to ensure your shake is cold and refreshing. The ice will also help thicken the shake, giving it a smooth, frosty consistency.
Step 4: Blend Until Smooth
Blend the mixture on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the shake is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Ensure there are no lumps and that the protein powders and PB2 are fully dissolved.
Step 5: Sweeten If Needed
Taste your shake to determine if it meets your desired level of sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter shake, add a splash of your favorite coffee syrup, such as vanilla or caramel. Blend the mixture again for a few seconds to incorporate the syrup evenly.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Pour your Peanut Butter Iced Coffee Protein Shake into a tall glass. For an extra touch, you can garnish it with a sprinkle of PB2 powder or a light drizzle of coffee syrup on top. Sip and savor the perfect blend of coffee, peanut butter, and protein. This shake is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients to keep you energized throughout the day.
Enjoy this energizing and nutritious shake to power through your day!
