Protein Frappuccino With Instant Espresso
Servings:1 serving
This frappuccino-style protein coffee recipe blends instant espresso, non-dairy milk, and plant-based protein powder for a creamy and satisfying iced coffee you can make in 5 minutes. With 33 grams of protein, and no added sugar or advanced prep needed!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk - or a sweetened/flavored variety for a sweeter drink
- 1 serving instant espresso - about 2½ tsp
- 1 serving plant-based vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter - or other nut/seed butter
- 4–5 ounces ice cubes - 1–1½ cups
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except ice in a high-speed blender. Start on low speed and increase to high, blending just until combined. Add the ice and blend again until thick and creamy, 20 to 30 seconds.
- Pour into a glass and top with dairy-free whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For flavor customizations and helpful tips, see the two sections above.
Note that some protein powders contain gums and added fiber. If your protein powder doesn't, your frappe will have a slightly thinner consistency. You can adjust this by first blending oats into your milk and/or choosing a richer, extra creamy milk.
