Instructions
Instructions
Decide whether you want a regular chilled shake or a thicker, milkshake-style texture. For a chilled shake, chill 1 cup brewed coffee in the refrigerator until cold. For a thicker texture, pour 1 cup brewed coffee into ice cube trays and freeze until solid.
If you froze the coffee, remove the coffee cubes from the tray and let them sit a minute to loosen just enough that your blender can break them; do not allow them to fully melt.
Place the chilled or frozen coffee into the blender first.
Add 6 oz vanilla yogurt, sweetener of choice (to taste), and any optional add-ins you want to include: 1 scoop protein powder (optional), 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter (optional), and/or a handful of chocolate chips (optional).
Secure the blender lid. Start blending on low to combine, then increase speed and blend until the mixture is smooth. If the blender stalls, pulse and allow any frozen pieces to soften slightly before continuing.
Taste and add more sweetener if desired, then blend briefly to combine.
Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
