How To Make Iced Protein Coffee Recipe

Quick and simple high protein muscle building coffee

On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m showing you a how to make iced protein coffee recipe that is so quick and simple to put together.

Yes, this high protein iced coffee recipe is for all the coffee lovers out there, as well as for people who don’t like the taste of coffee.

Confused?

Here’s the deal.

I don’t have an issue with drinking coffee, as I’m a big fan of caffeine in moderation, and coffee can be a good source of antioxidants.

The only issue I have is what people add to their coffee, to make it taste better.

These unhealthy ingredients includes fattening sugar and artificial sweeteners, as well as dairy milk.

So in this iced protein coffee recipe, I’m showing healthy ingredient swaps, to add to your coffee.

These healthy ingredients will not only add delicious flavor to your coffee, but they’ll also help increase your consumption of muscle building protein and healthy fat.

Healthy coffee ingredient swaps:

• Swap out sugar for a natural plant based sweetener called stevia.
• Swap out dairy milk for canned coconut milk, which adds a creamy and flavorful healthy fat.
• Boost your consumption of antioxidants by adding in cacao powder
• Add in chocolate protein powder for the added muscle building benefits

Fun fact: at the time of filming, I never had a full cup of hot coffee before because I never liked the taste.

I don’t know why, I just never fell into the coffee trend.

At the time, I also didn’t like the bitter taste of black coffee.

So few months prior, I started experimenting by adding coffee to my protein shake, to increase the antioxidant and energy boosting properties.

Smells just like coffee.

It also has a frosty and icy texture, just like a regular iced coffee.

Also, there’s one word to describe how it tastes.

Delicious.

Damn that’s good!

I’m definitely not a coffee sommelier, but I still enjoy the flavor of coffee.

To me this probably tastes like a mochachino or one of those speciality sugar filled coffees you buy at Starbucks or Tim Horton’s.

Plus this iced coffee recipe contains muscle building protein, healthy fats from the coconut milk, and extra antioxidants from the cacao powder and coffee beans.

It’s going to give you that energy boost that most people crave in the morning, without all of the traditional junk ingredients that are added to most coffees.

This is proof that you don’t need to add those unhealthy ingredients to your coffee.
