Protein Iced Coffee

Coffee is a morning essential for me. I start nothing until I make coffee. Except for feed the animals because they won't let me start anything until then. With the warmer weather and early morning starts sometimes Chemex coffee just isn't in the cards. Or appealing in humidity where even wearing clothes is not appealing. This protein iced coffee has become the go-to in our house if we aren't ready for breakfast yet but we need to get a move on with the day.

A good iced coffee to me is a little creamy (but not too much), very cold and honestly a lil' bit chocolatey. If I'm running around out and about, I get black iced coffee, but for a semi breakfast, I want more calories, more energy and this totally fits the bill. For a protein powder I went with Kura, which is actually a New Zealand company. In total transparency, they sent me some product a while back and I blew through the berry and vanilla flavors, but chocolate protein powder usually sits in my freezer because I don't like it in my fruit/veggie smoothies. And then the husband made THIS recipe and we love it. Kura has probiotics (happy gut microbes=amazing health) and has no gross after taste. They are in no way paying me to say that (and have no idea I'm doing this recipe) but it's the truth. I'm a fan.
