Shake Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 scoop caramel protein powder
- 1/2 cup milk (your choice)
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup ice
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool completely to prevent melting the ice too fast and diluting the shake.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, caramel protein powder, milk of your choice, caramel sauce, and ice.
- Blend: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve: Pour the shake into a tall glass. Optionally, top with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for a more intense coffee flavor.
- Choose your preferred milk type—dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk all work well.
- For a lower-calorie option, use skim milk or unsweetened plant-based milk.
- Adjust the amount of ice to achieve your desired thickness.
- This shake is best enjoyed immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir before drinking.
