Can I use regular milk instead of almond milk?

Absolutely! You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice such as cow's milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Each will provide a unique flavor and nutrition profile. Just ensure that the milk is unsweetened if you want to control the sweetness of your drink.

Is this recipe suitable for a vegan diet?

Yes! This recipe is completely vegan-friendly. Just ensure that the protein powder you choose is also plant-based or vegan. With the right protein powder, this recipe is perfect for anyone looking to increase their protein intake without consuming animal products.

How long can I store this iced coffee?

For the best flavor experience, it’s best to consume this iced coffee immediately after making it. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or blend before consuming to restore the creaminess.

Can I blend in other flavors or ingredients?

Definitely! You can add any number of spices, extracts, or even fruits to this recipe. Suggestions include adding a dash of cinnamon, a few drops of vanilla extract, or even a frozen banana for extra creaminess and sweetness.

Can I make this drink hot instead of iced?

Yes, while this recipe is intended to be enjoyed iced, you can heat the coffee and other ingredients if you prefer a warm protein coffee. Just blend all heated ingredients well and enjoy it as a comforting, warm beverage.
