Have you ever been in the mood for a coffee protein shake recipe?
Like you wake up, and you just want your coffee, but may not have an appetite, but you know you need nutrients?
Well, THIS protein coffee recipe is for you.
I love it for summer mornings. It’s nice knowing that a coffee and protein shake together can be filling, satiating, satisfying AND give me the caffeine I need with two small kiddos.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I love my coffee. Plus, coffee before running can be advantageous for performance!
I’m from Rhode Island. Rhode Island, and the Northeast in general, is Dunkin’ Donuts mecca. We drink iced coffees all year round (yes, even in the winter).
I think people think I’m pretty crazy when I order an iced coffee in the winter. I’ll have an occasional hot coffee then. But, in the summer, all I crave is iced coffee.
And with this peanut butter coffee banana smoothie, I quench my iced coffee needs, while also hydrating with other nutritious ingredients, too!
…Think peanut butter, chocolate, banana and coffee all in one.
Can You Put Coffee In A Smoothie?
Of course you can! There’s coffee milk, coffee ice cream, so why not a coffee flavored smoothie?
This is my favorite method for adding coffee to a smoothie because there are other flavors mixed in, too.

Should you drink protein after a run? Yes, protein helps with the recovery process! WIth nutrient timing, we want to plan protein after the run, rather than before.
