Creamy Coffee Date Protein Shake

Print Recipe

A creamy blend of cold brewed coffee, sweet Medjool dates, and rich Greek yogurt for a delightful morning boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brewed coffee
  • 2 large Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup ice cubes (about 4–5 cubes)
  • Optional: splash of vanilla extract or pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Brew your coffee ahead of time. If you’re making cold brew, steep coarsely-ground coffee in cold water for about 12-24 hours. If you’re short on time, simply brew a strong coffee or espresso, and then chill it in the fridge.
  2. Prepare your ingredients. Pitting the dates can be a bit sticky, so I recommend using kitchen gloves if you want to avoid the mess!
  3. Blend the prepared coffee, Medjool dates, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and ice cubes in a blender. Start by blending on low speed to combine, then ramp it up to high speed until smooth.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness with another date or a dash of maple syrup if desired.
  5. Serve your creamy shake in a tall glass, optionally garnished with extra cinnamon, a slice of banana, or a few chia seeds for flair.

Notes

This shake is customizable; feel free to add cocoa powder, nut butters, or frozen berries for variations. Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored for 24 hours in an airtight container.
