I don't especially enjoy protein shakes on their own. I either have to make a thick fruit smoothie, which usually I don't have the calories for, or I have to add it into my morning coffee. Here is a simple recipe and the calories don't increase much from the added ingredients in the Iced Caramel Macchiato Protein Variant.
Ingredients:
8oz cold brewed coffee
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 cup of ice
1 TBSP or 2 TBSP Skinny Girl Sugar Free Salted Carmel
1 TBSP Cool Whip Sugar Free
Directions:
Brew coffee night before and place in the fridge to use in the morning.
Once cold, combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend!
Top with cool whip.
Serves: 1
Notes
I used Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey - French Vanilla protein powder. You can substitute with a different protein powder, but the nutrition information may vary.
I used Skinny Girl Sugar Free Salted Caramel, but you can use salted caramel extract, but only add in 1/2 tsp of the extract instead of the tablespoons of skinny girl syrup.
For a more smoothie like texture add more ice for it to be thicker. You can also add greek yogurt as well.
Enjoy!
