Method
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure you have your pumpkin spice coffee, high protein fat-free milk, collagen peptides, vanilla protein powder, xanthan gum, ice, whipped cream, and pumpkin pie spice ready to go.
- Pour 1/2 cup of cold pumpkin spice coffee into your blender. The coffee should be brewed and chilled beforehand to ensure a refreshing shake.
- Next, add in 1/2 cup of high protein fat-free milk. This will create a creamy base for your shake, providing a good amount of protein without unnecessary fat.
- Add 2 scoops of collagen peptides to the blender. This ingredient not only increases the protein content but also has additional health benefits for skin and joints.
- Incorporate 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. This enhances the flavor profile, making your shake even more delicious while boosting the protein intake.
- Sprinkle in a pinch of xanthan gum. This thickening agent will help achieve that luxurious texture that you desire in your shake.
- Now, it’s time for the ice! Depending on how thick you like your shake, add 1 to 2 cups of ice. If you prefer a thinner shake, start with less ice and add more as needed.
- Cover the blender with a lid and blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth. You should aim for a creamy consistency without any lumps. This usually takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Once blended, taste your shake. If you want it sweeter or spicier, feel free to adjust by adding a little bit of sweetener or more pumpkin pie spice to your liking.
- Pour the shake into a tall glass. For an extra touch of indulgence, top it with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
When enjoying your shake, consider pairing it with a delicious breakfast option, like oatmeal or whole-grain toast. This adds balance to your meal and keeps you full longer!
