Print Recipe

A quick and nourishing iced coffee recipe combining cold brew, collagen peptides, protein powder, and almond milk for a creamy, energizing morning boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
  • 1 scoop (~10 g) collagen peptides (unflavored or vanilla)
  • 1 scoop (~30 g) protein powder (vanilla whey or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
  • 1–2 teaspoons natural sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or monk fruit sweetener), adjusted to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or dash of cocoa powder (optional for warmth and depth)

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee into your blender or shaker.
  2. Add 1 scoop (~30 g) of protein powder and 1 scoop (~10 g) of collagen peptides.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup (120 ml) of unsweetened almond milk.
  4. Add 1-2 teaspoons of your preferred natural sweetener and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  5. Add about 1 cup (240 ml) of ice cubes.
  6. Blend on medium-high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and frothy, or shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds if using a shaker bottle.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or milk as desired, then blend or shake again briefly.
  8. Serve immediately in a tall glass or tumbler.

Notes

For smoothest texture, use a blender. Blend liquids first if protein powder clumps. Avoid overblending to keep drink cold and refreshing. Store mixed coffee (without ice) in fridge up to 24 hours; add ice before serving. Collagen thickens drink over time, which some may prefer.
