Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) cold brew coffee
  • Β½ cup (4 oz) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • Β½ cup (4 fl oz) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or sugar substitute like stevia)
  • Β½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Β½ cup ice cubes (about 45 cubes)
  • Optional boosters: protein powder (vanilla or unflavored), cinnamon, cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients, ensuring cold brew is chilled and Greek yogurt is fresh.
  2. Pour 1 cup cold brew coffee into the blender.
  3. Add Β½ cup Greek yogurt, Β½ cup milk of choice, and 1–2 teaspoons sweetener.
  4. Add optional flavorings such as Β½ teaspoon vanilla extract, cinnamon, or cocoa powder if desired.
  5. Add Β½ cup ice cubes (4-5 cubes) for a chilled shake.
  6. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and creamy with no chunks.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more sweetener or milk if needed, then blend briefly again.
  8. Serve immediately in a glass or shaker bottle, optionally garnished with cinnamon or cocoa powder.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess. Adjust cold brew strength by diluting if too strong. Add protein powder after liquids to avoid clumps. Blend ice by pulsing if blender struggles. Store shake without ice up to 24 hours refrigerated; add ice and blend before serving.
