Protein Coffee Shake

Brew two shots of espresso and let them cool for a few minutes. Slightly cooled espresso helps prevent the ice from melting too quickly and creates a smoother shake.

Add the cooled espresso, protein powder, milk, vanilla extract, sweetener (if using), and ice cubes to a high-speed blender.

Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and frothy. If you'd like a thicker shake, add a few more ice cubes. For a thinner consistency, blend in a splash of additional milk.

Pour the shake into a chilled glass. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon if desired and enjoy immediately while cold and frothy.
