Ingredients

Instructions

  • Put almond milk, coffee, date syrup, and protein powder into a blender. Secure lid.
    Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
    Start the blender on LOW speed for 5 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for 20 seconds.
  • Pour shake into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a more protein-packed shake, use cow's milk or soy milk as the liquid.
  • Vanilla or chocolate protein powder can also be used for this shake, though the coffee flavor will be milder.
  • A few ice cubes can help thicken this shake. Add it after the protein powder.
  • If you prefer stronger caffeinated drinks, add another ¼ or ½ coffee.
  • You can skip the sweetener for a less sweet shake.
  • Keep leftover shake in an air-tight glass container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. The ingredients might separate during this time, so be sure to shake or stir before drinking.
  • Instead of cold coffee, espresso can be used. Add 1-2 shots of espresso with a ⅓ cup ice instead of the ½ cup of cold coffee.
