Instant coffee protein smoothie ingredients

Here’s what you will need: brewed coffee, vanilla yogurt, protein powder, sweetener of choice, milk of choice, optional chocolate chips.

Have fun customizing the basic protein shake by adding a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or chia seeds.
Or garnish your shake with chocolate syrup and Coconut Whipped Cream.

I am partial to dark roast coffee, such as French roast. If you normally drink medium or light roast, these will also work, as will decaf coffee. It is entirely your choice.

You can use either regular or Greek yogurt. For a homemade vegan coffee protein shake, use a plant based yogurt, such as almond, coconut, or soy yogurt.

If you only have plain yogurt on hand, you can add a fourth teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, or more if desired. If using unsweetened yogurt, increase sweetener to taste.
