Iced Vanilla Protein Latte

This is the drink I make most mornings. It tastes like a vanilla iced latte from a coffee shop, and it does the job of a protein shake without feeling like one.

The trick is to mix the protein into cold milk first, then pour the coffee over the top. That way it stays completely smooth, and you get the nice layered look in the glass.

Serves 1 · 5 minutes · About 33g protein with dairy milk

What you need

• 2 scoops (33g) Kultra Goat Whey Protein, Vanilla
• 200ml cold milk (goat, cow or oat all work)
• 1 to 2 shots of espresso, or 60ml strong coffee
• A big handful of ice

How to make it

1. Add the Kultra to the cold milk and whisk with a milk frother for 15 to 20 seconds, or shake it in a shaker, until smooth.
2. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the vanilla milk.
3. Pour the espresso slowly over the top and let it swirl down. Stir before you drink.

Tips

• Keep the protein out of the hot coffee. Whey mixed straight into very hot liquid can turn clumpy, so always mix it into the cold milk.
• Taste before adding any syrup. The vanilla goes a long way.
• For a hot version, warm the milk gently (not boiling), froth the Kultra into it, then add the coffee.

Protein figure is approximate: 26g from the Kultra plus roughly 7g from 200ml of cow or goat milk. Oat milk adds less.
