Ingredients
This is so simple and requires just a few ingredients.
- instant coffee
- water
- milk
- vanilla protein powder
- whipped cream
- ice
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Grab your favorite cup with about 4 oz of cold water. Add in your favorite instant coffee ( I use about 2 tsp) and a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Blend very well until everything is smooth. I like to use a milk frother- this one is awesome and well worth the money! Continue filling an additional 8 oz or to your taste preference. You can add a splash of your favorite milk for more of a latte. Add in ice and then top with whipped cream. Enjoy!
Hint: Make sure you blend before adding all of the water because it will splatter everywhere.
Variations
Switch it up with your favorite flavors of protein powder!
Equipment
You will want a milk frother. I like this one!
Storage
Best fresh! Don't let it sit too long with the protein powder. It gets funky.
