Ingredients

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder My favorite is vegan chocolate Shakeology
  • 1/2 cup chilled coffee*
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk any milk will work
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 packet stevia sweetener optional
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions

  • Blend all ingredients. Add more ice as desired.
  • I like to blend well with about 1/2 cup of ice and then slowly blend with another 1/2 cup ice. This makes for a slushier shake. Enjoy!

Notes

*For a stronger coffee flavor, use 1 cup chilled coffee and omit the milk. I also like subbing cold-brew concentrate for the coffee. It has a smoother flavor. You can make your own or buy it at most grocery stores. Trader Joe's has a great option.
**For a creamier smoothie with a little more staying power, add a half to a whole ripe frozen banana.
