Mocha Keto Coffee Protein Shake

Servings: 1
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled (or cold brew)

• 1 scoop chocolate or mocha-flavored keto-friendly protein powder

• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for creamier texture)

• 2 tbsp heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free version)

• 1–2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1–2 tbsp powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener, adjust to taste

• 1 tsp MCT oil or coconut oil (optional, for extra fats and energy)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• Ice cubes (about 4–6, adjust for thickness)

• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

• Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Brew the coffee:
   Brew your favorite coffee and allow it to cool slightly. Cold brew works best if you want a smoother, less acidic taste.

2. Combine ingredients:
   In a blender, add the cooled coffee, almond milk, heavy cream, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, MCT oil (if using), vanilla extract, and ice cubes.

3. Blend until smooth:
   Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the shake is creamy, frothy, and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa if needed.

4. Serve:
   Pour into a tall glass. For an indulgent touch, top with keto-friendly whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder or shaved dark chocolate.

5. Optional variations:

   • Mocha Mint: Add 3–5 drops of peppermint extract.

   • Extra Creamy: Use 1/4 cup cream instead of 2 tbsp.

   • Iced Version: Blend with more ice cubes for a thicker, frappe-like shake.
