Can I use hot coffee instead of cold brew?

Absolutely! You can use hot coffee for this recipe, but it’s essential to let it cool a bit before blending with the other ingredients to avoid curdling the protein powder. Just remember to adjust the ice quantity for a frosty effect.

Is this recipe suitable for vegans?

Yes, you can easily make this recipe vegan by using plant-based protein powder and a dairy-free milk alternative such as almond or oat milk. This maintains the creamy texture while catering to a vegan diet.

Can I substitute protein powder with something else?

If you don't have protein powder on hand, you can try using silken tofu or Greek yogurt for a protein boost. However, this may alter the flavor and texture slightly, so adjust the sweetener accordingly.

How do I store leftover Protein Coffee?

You can store any leftover Protein Coffee in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or stir before enjoying it again, as the ingredients may separate.

What sweeteners can I use?

You can use any sweetener you like, such as agave nectar, honey, or artificial sweeteners for a low-calorie option. The key is to adjust the quantity according to your sweetness preference!
