Notes
Here are some tips to perfect your Iced Coffee Protein Shake:
Stay Cool: If you're using fresh coffee, allow it to cool down before blending to prevent it from melting the ice too quickly and diluting your shake.
Sweetness Adjustment: If you prefer your shake a bit sweeter without adding sugar, consider a dash of natural sweeteners like stevia, drop of honey or maple syrup. Adjust according to your taste and dietary needs.
Thickness: I prefer my protein shake to be more on the drinkable side, rather than too thick like a smoothie, but you can tweak the amount to suit your taste.
Enhance the Flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract to elevate the flavor profile. These subtle additions can make your shake even more aromatic and enjoyable.
Boost with Superfoods: For an extra health kick, sprinkle in some chia seeds or a spoonful of flaxseed meal. These superfoods add omega-3s and fiber, making your shake even more nutritious.
