1 tablespoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1 scoop protein powder

4 ounces cold brew coffee (or iced coffee)

Instructions

Add milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, protein powder, salt, and cinnamon to a high-speed blender to make the protein milk. Blend until smooth and frothy.

Notes

Sweeten to taste.
For a quicker version, use a pre-made protein shake instead of making the protein milk portion.
Low carb - Use your favorite sugar free sweetener, and a low carb milk.
Dairy free - Instead of using whey protein powder, use your favorite dairy free protein powder and dairy free milk.
Vegan - Use your favorite plant-based milk, like oat or soy milk. You'll also need to use a plant-based protein powder.
For a hot drink - Heat the milk before blending it with the other ingredients to make the protein milk. Pour over a hot coffee, and enjoy!
Add more protein - If you like, you can add more scoops of protein powder.
Blended frappuccino - If desired, you can add the coffee and ice to the blender along with all the other ingredients to make a creamy blended protein frappuccino.
