What you need: 1 cup Cold brew or strong coffee, 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder, 0.5 cup Unsweetened oat milk or almond milk, 1 cup Ice, 1 pinch Cinnamon, 0.25 tsp Vanilla extract.

How it comes together: Add the protein powder and a small splash (2 tbsp) of the milk to a shaker bottle. Shake hard for 15 seconds. This pre-mixes the protein so it doesn't clump in the cold coffee. Add the cold coffee and the rest of the milk. Shake again for 10 seconds. Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour the protein coffee over the top.
