Tips and Notes
Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a splash of vanilla extract, a drizzle of honey, or a sugar-free sweetener.
Thicker Texture: Blend the drink with ice instead of stirring for a frappe-like consistency.
Shaking Tip: Ensure the shaker lid is sealed tightly to prevent messy spills while mixing.
Substitution ideas
Milk Options: Swap oat or almond milk for soy, coconut, or dairy milk for a different flavor profile.
Protein Powder Flavors: Chocolate too rich? Try vanilla or mocha protein powder for a lighter variation.
Coffee Alternatives: Don’t have cold brew? Regular chilled coffee or a shot of espresso mixed with water works just as well.
