Iced Mocha Protein Latte

What Makes This Recipe Work

• Frozen Greek yogurt creates a thick, milkshake-like texture without adding ice that waters down the flavor.
• 52 grams of protein from two sources: chocolate protein powder and sugar-free vanilla Greek yogurt, all in just 350 calories.
• Cold brew plus unsweetened cocoa powder gives you a rich mocha flavor without any syrups or added sugar.

Ingredients

• Silk Shelf-Stable Almond Milk. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk adds a light creaminess without weighing down the drink with extra calories or sugar.
• Cold Brew Coffee. The coffee base gives this its mocha identity. Cold brew works best because it’s naturally smoother and less acidic than hot-brewed coffee that’s been chilled.
• Sugar-Free Vanilla Greek Yogurt. blended, this is what turns a regular coffee drink into something thick and milkshake-like. It also contributes roughly 15 grams of protein on its own.
• Jocko Fuel Whey Protein Powder. One scoop of chocolate protein powder pushes the protein count past 50 grams and ties the coffee and chocolate flavors together.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. This is what delivers the mocha depth. A darker cocoa powder gives you a more intense chocolate result without any added sugar.
• Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener. Optional calorie-free sweetener if you want it sweeter than the protein powder and yogurt already provide.

The Case for Making This

• 52 grams of protein in one drink . easily one of the highest protein beverages you can make with everyday ingredients. If you want something lighter, the Iced Vanilla Protein Latte is a solid alternative with fewer calories.

Pairing Ideas

• Whole grain toast with a thin layer of almond butter (fills out the drink into a complete breakfast)
• Keep it solo as a post-workout refresher, or pair it with something like Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats for a fuller breakfast spread

Ways to Make This Yours

• Different Protein Flavors. Swap chocolate protein powder for vanilla and add a shot of espresso for a cleaner coffee taste, or try caramel-flavored protein for a mocha-caramel combo. If you want something that pairs well with this drink, grab a Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats for your morning spread.
• Add Ice Cubes. If your Greek yogurt isn’t frozen or your blender struggles with thick textures, throw in a few ice cubes to get that slushy consistency without diluting the flavor too much.
