Protein iced coffee
This protein iced coffee makes a great pre- or post-exercise drink with all the benefits of coffee and protein in one tasty beverage.
Ingredients
- 60 ml cold brewed coffee or espresso
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 30-40 g protein powder see type and flavour recommendations in the notes below
- 5 g creatine monohydrate
- several ice cubes
Instructions
- Pour coffee and milk in a protein shaker, add the powders (the order is important!), close shaker and mix vigorously.
- Pour in a glass over ice and enjoy.
Notes
- Milk: Feel free to substitute full-fat milk or a plant-based alternative (fortified with calcium).
- Protein: I recommend whey protein isolate (WPI), but you can also use whey protein concentrate (WPC) or a plant-based protein powder. Flavour-wise, I recommend natural (unflavoured), vanilla, salted caramel or chocolate. Use batch-tested if you get tested for your sport.
- Creatine monohydrate: Use batch-tested if you get tested for your sport.
