This energizing cold brew protein shake blends coffee, chocolate protein, banana, and peanut butter for an unbelievably delicious drink! To make this coffee smoothie even healthier, I added frozen spinach and hemp seeds for added nutrients, and don’t worry you don’t even taste them.

Just like my butterfinger protein smoothie, this shake is so satisfying you won’t believe it’s healthy!

Here’s What You Need

  • coffee: You can buy cold brew or you can do what I did and make extra coffee the morning before then let it cool and refrigerate it until you make your smoothie.
  • chocolate protein powder: Whey or plant-based, use your favorite!
  • peanut butter: Most of us know chocolate and peanut butter pair beautifully together but adding coffee takes it to another level! So good!
  • frozen banana: It doesn’t have to be frozen but it will make it thicker and creamier. Just make sure your banana is ripe for extra sweetness.
  • frozen spinach: I add spinach to every smoothie because it’s an easy way to add vitamins and nutrients and I promise you won’t even taste it.
  • hemp seeds: Adds extra protein, fiber, and healthy fats without altering the taste.
  • milk: I like using unsweetened almond milk in my smoothies but any milk will work.
  • ice cubes: Ice will give your smoothie a thicker consistency and make it really cold.

The lunch I’ve been eating on repeat lately becaus The lunch I’ve been eating on repeat lately because it’s quick, balanced, satisfying AND actually keeps me full 🙌🏼

I’ve been eating some version of this most days a week for the past 3+ months and I still love it!

Save this for your next busy lunch 🤎

• Your favorite tortilla filled with ⅓ cup pinto beans, chicken breast, or ground turkey breast + jalapeño pepper jack cheese 🌯
• ⅓ avocado for healthy fats 🥑
• 2 Tbsp Greek yogurt for extra protein & in place of sour cream 🤍
• Hot sauce because I need a little spice 🌶️
• Grapes on the side for some fruit + fiber 🍇

I meal prep the beans (or meat if I’m switching it up) ahead of time, so the actual lunch comes together in about 5 minutes.

I love that I get protein + carbs + healthy fats + fiber in one easy lunch without spending forever making it.

I’ve learned that the things that make me feel my I’ve learned that the things that make me feel my best don’t have to be complicated. 🤎

Moving my body, getting outside, eating nourishing meals, making time to be silly with my kids, and keeping a few little routines that I genuinely enjoy.

It’s not about doing everything perfectly — it’s about finding the simple things that help me feel like a happier, more present mom. 🤍

What’s one little habit that always makes you feel better?
