Tips & Variations
- Use chilled milk for a cooler, more refreshing drink.
- Swap vanilla protein powder for chocolate or your favorite flavor to customize.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee taste, increase the instant coffee by 1 teaspoon.
- Try using oat or coconut milk for a different creaminess and taste.
Storage
For best taste and texture, enjoy the whipped coffee immediately. If you need to store, keep the whipped coffee mixture covered in the fridge for up to 12 hours and give it a quick whip before serving. The milk and ice should be fresh when served for optimal flavor.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular coffee instead of instant coffee?
Instant coffee works best for whipping to create the frothy texture, so regular brewed coffee will not produce the same foam. Stick with instant coffee for this recipe.
Is it possible to make this drink vegan?
Yes! Use a plant-based protein powder and plant milk, such as almond or oat milk, to keep the recipe vegan-friendly.
