- 1 scoop caramel protein powder
- 1/2 cup milk (your choice)
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup ice
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream

Instructions
- Brew coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool completely to prevent melting the ice too quickly and diluting the shake.
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled brewed coffee, caramel protein powder, milk of your choice, caramel sauce, and ice.
- Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the shake into a tall glass. Optionally, top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce to enhance the flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee to ensure robust coffee flavor despite the milk and ice dilution.
- Choose any milk variant for customization, such as almond, oat, or dairy milk.
- To make it vegan, use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk.
- For a thicker shake, increase the amount of ice or add frozen coffee cubes.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the caramel sauce according to taste preferences.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
