Why you will love this Caramel Iced Protein Latte
It is really as simple as mixing an espresso shot or instant coffee with a protein shake and ice, and it tastes SO GOOD. The addition of a protein shake gives a bit more of a smooth frothy texture, and adds such a great flavour without the addition of sugar syrups.
If you haven’t tried adding a protein shake in your iced coffees, I guarantee you won’t go back after trying this method.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Espresso- Can use an espresso shot or instant coffee mixed with 30-50ml hot water
Protein Powder- I use a salted caramel protein from MacroMike. (My affiliate code for Macromike is AMB-ELIYEATS (saves you 10%!)) but you could substitute for any flavour, get creative!
Milk- You can use any milk of choice, I use a mix between 125ml light soy milk + 175ml water
Ice- it is an iced latte, so yes ice is needed
Sweetener drops- this is optional as there is enough flavour from the protein, however if you like your coffee extra sweet, sweetener drops will work amazing. I use a caramel stevia liquid sweetener.
