A quick and easy iced protein coffee shake with vanilla and collagen that provides a smooth, creamy texture and an energizing caffeine boost without jitters. Perfect for busy mornings or post-workout refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) cold brew coffee
  • 1 scoop (~30 g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon (~10 g) collagen peptides
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative like stevia, optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon MCT oil or coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coffee: Brew or use cold brew coffee. If brewed hot, allow it to cool completely (about 15 minutes).
  2. Pour 1 cup of cold brew coffee and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into your blender.
  3. Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder and 1 tablespoon of collagen peptides on top of the liquids.
  4. Add ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of your preferred sweetener, if using. Add cinnamon or other spices if desired.
  5. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to chill and thicken the shake.
  6. Secure the lid and blend on high for 30–45 seconds until creamy and frothy without lumps. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk and pulse again.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla flavor if needed, blending again for 10 seconds.
  8. Serve immediately in a glass or travel cup with a straw.

Notes

Use cold brew coffee for smoother, less bitter flavor. If using hot brewed coffee, cool completely before blending. Adding collagen to almond milk first and letting it sit briefly helps reduce clumps. Adjust sweetness carefully as vanilla protein powder often adds enough flavor. For creamier texture, freeze almond milk into cubes. Store mixture without ice in fridge up to 24 hours; add ice and blend before serving.
