How to make iced coffee with protein powder

Q: Is iced protein coffee good for you?

A combo of coffee and proper protein can help. Thats right. Consuming a blend of coffee with protein powder can not only improve your memory recall and cognitive brain function but also significantly increase your mental alertness.

Some days, I really just don’t have the time/energy/appetite for making breakfast. When I do, I’m all about the pancakes and waffles, but some days, especially when I sleep through an alarm or two (oops), I need something quick. This Iced Coffee Protein Shake has become an absolute staple. It’s filling, gets me my caffeine fix, and is only 1 WW SP.

Making the Iced Coffee Protein Shake

As I said before – this is my go-to for something quick. And I mean QUICK. This shake comes together in 2 minutes, and is really as simple as pour, stir, sip. The components of the shake are:

Ice. Duh. Just 3 cubes or so – you don’t want them to water it down as they melt. If you like your coffee strong, freeze some coffee in an ice cube tray and use those as your cubes. This way, as they melt, your coffee gets stronger instead of getting watered down.
Iced coffee/cold brew. I really like Starbucks Blonde Roast, as it’s super mild, but I’ve made this shake with La Colombe Iced Coffee, Trader Joe’s brand, and iced coffee that I’ve made myself.
Unsweetened almond milk. I use about 3-4 tbsp, which is 0 WW points. You can use any milk you want and it’ll be delicious – I’ve made this with oat milk, regular milk, Nutpods dairy free creamer (just 1 tbsp then), etc.
Premier Protein Shake. I use Cafe Latte flavor, which I buy at Target and get shipped (here’s the link). I also make this shake with the chocolate and cookies and cream flavors when I want to mix it up. There are a ton of different flavors, so play around with what you like. I use 1/2 of the shake, which is 1 WW SP.
Fat free Reddi Wip, which is 0 SP for 2 tbsp. I use this to top it off and add a little creaminess.

I pour it all of the liquids into the glass, use a reusable metal straw (like these) to stir it all together, and top with the whipped cream. The shake is 1 WW SP of pure morning bliss.

So quick and easy! This has been my go to for my commute to work, perfect combo of caffeine and some protein to keep me fueled!
1. Quick and easy is the name of the game 🙂
Sooooo good!! Great idea to add the iced coffee to thin out the protein shake. Totally creamy and good like a coffee house drink!
1. So glad you liked it! 🙂
This is giving me so much life right now!!!! I can’t believe how much the little bit of almond milk gives it the much needed creamyness. Taste just as good without the whip too
1. I’m so glad to hear that!! 🙂
I am so excited to try this! Can I use a half teaspoon of instant coffee?
1. If you plan to do instant, I would prepare it according to package instructions first, then use that coffee in the recipe!

Can u mix protein powder with iced coffee?

Alternatively, cool down your coffee with creamer, milk, or ice beforehand, or simply add protein powder to chilled coffee. Protein powder is most easily added to cold coffee. If you wish to add it to hot coffee, use a blender or stir continuously to prevent clumps from forming.

Is it OK to mix coffee with protein powder?

Yes, you can mix whey protein powder in coffee, but avoid stirring it into hot coffee using only a spoon or coffee stirrer. Use a handheld blender instead. Use an immersion blender for hot coffee and protein powder. You can add ice after the fact to make it an iced coffee.

How do I mix coffee with protein powder?
