Scale
Shake 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 and allow it to cool to room temperature or chill it in the refrigerator. This prevents the ice in the shake from melting too quickly and diluting the flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, caramel protein powder, milk of your choice, caramel sauce, and ice. These ingredients form the flavorful base for your shake.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Taste the shake and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more caramel sauce or milk if desired.
- Serve: Pour the shake into a tall glass. For an extra indulgent touch, top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce if you like.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Use decaf coffee if you prefer to reduce caffeine intake.
- Adjust the amount of ice to make the shake thicker or thinner according to preference.
- Adding a pinch of sea salt to the shake can enhance the caramel flavor.
- To make it vegan, use a vegan protein powder and plant-based milk, and skip the whipped cream or use a dairy-free alternative.
