A quick and easy creamy iced protein coffee shake with vanilla collagen that provides a smooth, rich, and slightly sweet pick-me-up perfect for busy mornings or anytime you need a refreshing boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed coffee (cold, cold brew or chilled espresso preferred)
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon (about 10 g) vanilla collagen powder (unflavored or vanilla-flavored collagen peptides)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk, dairy milk, or coconut milk)
  • 1 cup (about 120 g) ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon natural sweetener (optional: honey, maple syrup, or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare cold coffee by brewing the night before or using leftover chilled coffee. Use cold brew or espresso for best results. Measure 1 cup (240 ml). Chill hot coffee in the fridge if needed.
  2. Add cold coffee, 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop (30 g) vanilla protein powder, and 1 tablespoon (10 g) vanilla collagen powder into a blender.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if using, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for extra flavor (both optional).
  4. Add 1 cup (about 120 g) ice cubes to the blender.
  5. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and frothy. Add more almond milk if too thick.
  6. Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Optionally garnish with cinnamon or coffee beans.

Notes

Use cold coffee to prevent ice melting and dilution. Blend collagen powder well to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness based on protein powder sweetness. For dairy-free, use plant-based protein and milk. Can prepare mixture without ice and refrigerate up to 24 hours, then add ice and blend before serving.
