Chocolate Almond Protein Blended Cold Brew 🍫🌰

Icy, Creamy, and Dessert-Level Delicious — Fuel Meets Flavor in a Blender

This Chocolate Almond Protein Blended Cold Brew is a frosty, protein-packed shake with bold coffee flavor, rich chocolate vibes, and nutty almond smoothness.

It’s part café frappe, part post-workout smoothie, and all-around crave-worthy. High in protein, low in effort, and 100% satisfying, it’s perfect for mornings that need muscle and mocha at the same time.

Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

• ¾ cup cold brew or chilled brewed coffee
• ½ cup almond milk (unsweetened or vanilla)
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 1 tbsp almond butter
• ½ frozen banana (for creaminess)
• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
• ½ tsp cocoa powder (for extra chocolate punch)
• 1 cup ice

Optional Add-Ins

• 1 tbsp chia seeds or flax meal
• Splash of almond extract
• Pinch of sea salt (enhances chocolate + almond flavor)
• Cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips for texture

Instructions

1. Add coffee, almond milk, protein powder, almond butter, banana, cocoa, sweetener, and ice to a blender.
2. Blend on high until thick, smooth, and frosty — about 30–45 seconds.
3. Pour into a tall glass and top with optional cacao nibs, crushed almonds, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
4. Sip immediately while cold and creamy.

Flavor Variations

🍒 Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew

• Add ½ cup frozen cherries instead of banana
• Almond + cherry + mocha = total win

🥥 Mocha Coconut

• Use coconut milk and add shredded coconut
• Add a few drops of coconut extract for extra boost

🧂 Salted Almond Brownie

• Add a big pinch of flaky sea salt
• Use extra cocoa + dark chocolate chips for a dessert shake

Pro Tips

• Want it thicker? Use less almond milk or freeze your coffee into ice cubes
• For a caffeine-free version, swap in decaf cold brew or use brewed chicory
• For a lower-carb version, skip banana and sweetener, and use nut-based protein
• Great post-workout: delivers protein, potassium, and caffeine all in one

Final Thoughts
