Energizing Mocha Protein Shake

Ingredients

• 1 cup cold brew coffee
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 medium banana, frozen
• 1 tablespoon nut butter (optional)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1. Start by brewing your cold brew coffee. If you don't have any prepared, steep coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours, then strain.
2. In a blender, combine the cold brew coffee, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond milk, frozen banana, and nut butter if using.
3. Add ice cubes to the blender for a thicker consistency. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
4. Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness if necessary. You can add a touch of honey or maple syrup if desired.
5. Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
