Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup cold milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ½ scoop protein powder (vanilla, mocha, or your favorite flavor)
  • 12 teaspoons sweetener (optional: honey, maple syrup, or zero-calorie sweetener)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice-cold coffee or cold brew for serving

Instructions

  1. Add cold milk, protein powder, and sweetener to a blender or frother.
  2. Blend or froth on high speed for 30–60 seconds until silky and airy.
  3. Check taste and consistency. Adjust sweetness or add milk if needed.
  4. Pour cold brew or iced coffee into a glass.
  5. Spoon or pour cold foam over the top and enjoy.

Notes

Use whey or casein for best froth. For dairy-free, opt for soy or almond milk with some protein content. Adjust flavors by adding cocoa, caramel, or seasonal extracts.
