High Protein Blended Coffee Smoothie
This creamy blended coffee smoothie recipe is packed full of protein (over 30g!), fiber, and nourishing fats. The riced cauliflower not only adds a creamy texture, it also adds an extra dose of vitamin C and K. Whip it together in 10 minutes for the perfect morning pick-me-up or post-workout energy boost. Plus it tastes exactly like a Frapp. What more would you want?
As an intuitive eating dietitian I am all about what you can ADD to your diet versus what you need to “cut out”. I made this cold and creamy coffee smoothie to taste exactly like my fave frozen coffee shop drink – the Frapp and it has all the additions for a filling and satisfying protein coffee shake!
I love teaching people how to build nourishing, balanced smoothies that are packed full of a variety of nutrients that fuel your body, mind, and soul. And this coffee protein smoothie checks all the boxes: fiber from my homemade cauliflower rice to support digestion and steady energy, protein from protein powder to keep you full and support muscle repair, and healthy fats from milk (or your favorite alternative) for lasting satiety.
Add in a little fun (who doesn’t love caramel or whip?), and this is perfect for a quick meal or afternoon snack (with a bonus caffeine kick).
