High Protein Iced Coffee

I’ve been really looking for high protein recipes as of late. I have a population of clients that have undertaken weight loss surgery. It is very important for these individuals to maintain an adequate protein intake, which is difficult with a smaller stomach. I advise a minimum of 60g a day of protein for these individuals.

Most people enjoy an iced coffee. I have made a high protein iced coffee recipe, which I’m sure you would enjoy too.

All you need: 

• 1 cup skim/trim milk (these milks tend to be higher in protein than full-cream)
• 1-2tsp of instant coffee dissolved in a small amount of hot water.
• 1tsp vanilla essence
• 1 scoop of Planet Food Whey Isolate Protein Powder 
• 1tsp Xylitol (alternative sweetener – not artificial)
• Ice Cubes

Method:

1. Place the milk, protein powder, vanilla, xylitol, ice cubes and protein powder into a blender. (I use a NutriNinja for convenience).
2. Blend and enjoy!

Yep, it’s that easy. You may like to add the ice cubes after you’ve blended (like I did), however if you like a frappe consistency – add the ice cubes.

Note: You do not need to to choose this specific protein powder, however this is the one that I have found which is isolated protein without any additional sweeteners or different ingredients. You may need to adjust the recipe if there is sugar/flavours in your protein powder. Short Version? There is less junk!
