You’ll love this Iced Coffee Protein Smoothie because it is fresh, creamy, protein-rich and as an incredible staying powder – meaning that it will keep you satisfied for a long time due to its amazing content of protein and fiber. This recipe is featured in my “how to make a smoothie healthier video” that also features three other nourishing and delicious smoothie recipes. If you’re more of a visual learner, here it is:
For this rich smoothie you’ll need:
- Espresso – or instant coffee, diluted in water.
- Frozen banana – for creaminess and sweetness.
- Frozen zucchini – for fiber and extra frostiness.
- Plant-based milk – try to choose a B12 and vitamin D fortified plant-milk. I went for soy milk but choose whichever you like. Did you know that soy, rice, and oat are the most environmentally-friendly kinds of milk?
- Vegan vanilla flavored protein powder – make sure you choose one that tastes good, as vegan protein powders aren’t always very pleasant.
- Drops vanilla extract.
