- Vanilla Protein Powder – Adds flavor and protein. Feel free to use chocolate or mocha-flavored protein for a twist.
- MCT Oil (optional) – For extra fat to keep you fueled; can substitute with coconut oil or leave it out if you prefer.
- Sweetener (optional) – Use erythritol, monk fruit, or any keto-friendly sweetener to add a bit more sweetness.
How to Make Keto Protein Iced Coffee

Pro Tips for the Best Keto Protein Iced Coffee

- Shake to Re-mix: If it separates while sitting, give it a quick shake before sipping.
Storage Tips
This Keto Protein Iced Coffee is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can blend the coffee and almond milk mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 1 day. Add protein powder just before serving for the best texture.
