INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ounces espresso (2 shots/double espresso)
  • 1 (14oz) vanilla protein shake I used Fairlife Core Power

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Brew espresso (2 min): Brew 2 ounces of espresso and add it to a glass.
    2 ounces espresso
  • Combine (2 min): Pour the protein shake into the glass with the espresso and stir to combine. Fill with ice and enjoy.

Notes

Protein Powder Option (clean and customizable): 2 shots espresso, 6-8 ounces milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I like Be Well by Kelly), simple syrup/maple syrup to taste.
Hot version: Warm the protein drink (ideally in a milk frother), then pour it over the shot of espresso. 
Make ahead: Mix the espresso and shake then store in fridge up to 2 days. Serve over ice!
Substitutions: Use flavored protein shakes (like chocolate) or add in your favorite coffee syrup (though this could become too sweet so be careful!).
