Scale
Main 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 using your preferred method and allow it to cool completely to ensure your shake stays chilled without melting the ice too quickly.
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, caramel protein powder, milk of your choice, caramel sauce, and ice to prepare the base of the shake.
- Blend: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more caramel sauce or milk if desired.
- Serve: Pour the shake into a tall glass and top it with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for a decadent finishing touch if desired.
Notes
- Use cold-brewed coffee for a smoother, less acidic flavor if preferred.
- Choose your preferred milk—dairy or plant-based—to suit dietary requirements or taste.
- Adjust the amount of caramel sauce to make the shake sweeter or less sweet.
- Adding more ice will make the shake thicker and colder.
- For a vegan version, use vegan protein powder, plant-based milk, and vegan-friendly caramel sauce and whipped topping.
