Ingredients
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: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Once brewed, allow the coffee to cool completely to avoid melting the ice too quickly and diluting the shake.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, caramel protein powder, your choice of milk, caramel sauce, and ice cubes to create the base of the shake.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Taste the shake and add extra sweetener if needed to suit your preference.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the shake into a tall glass and top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for a richer coffee flavor.
- Choose your favorite milk — dairy or non-dairy options work well.
- For a thicker shake, add more ice or use frozen coffee cubes.
- Adjust caramel sauce quantity to taste for sweetness.
- Optional toppings like whipped cream and caramel drizzle add indulgence but also extra calories.
