in Recipes
Ingredients:

♠ 2 handfuls of ice

♠ 1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder. I use a vanilla flavored vegan brand, that has 22 grams of protein per scoop. That’s half of the protein I need for the day!

♠ 1/2 frozen banana

♠ 1 cup of brewed coffee-choose whatever flavor you like

♠ 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk- I like unsweetened almond milk because it’s dairy free, provides extra protein, is creamy, and only 35 calories. However, you can totally use whatever type of milk you want.

♠ Truvia to taste- You can also use Stevia liquid, or whatever other type of sweetener you like, but I highly suggest trying to faze actual refined sugar from your diet .

Directions:

♠ Place all ingredients in blender.

♠ Blend it.

♠ Pour in a drinking container, and enjoy!

    That's funny, this morning before I got up, I was thinking about combining my morning coffee with protein powder and wondering what else I would put in it and how it would taste. Thanks!

    My ex-girlfriend used to put a scoop of cappuccino mix in her chocolate protein shake. It tasted good. :)

    That sounds so good! I bet it would be even better to freeze coffee in an ice tray and use that for the ice...

    Option for the banana???? I simply do not like banana in my smoothies, they make the texture nice but it overpowers the taste of everything else!!

    i am sure instant coffee or espresso made then poured into the shake would work too
