Iced Protein Vanilla Macchiato Ingredients
Two simple ingredients with this recipe and both come in my Amazon Subscribe and Save each month.
- Nespresso Bianco Doppio coffee capsule - or a double espresso shot from your preferred coffee source.
- Fairlife Vanilla Power Core milk - Any protein drink can work. I use Fairlife protein drinks, but premier protein can also be used in this recipe.
- Ice
For even more protein, feel free to add your favorite whey protein powder to a little water and mix it into the coffee and protein shake. This can create a great iced protein coffee.

How to make Iced Protein Coffee
Making this protein iced macchiato doesn't have to be any harder than making your normal cold brew or hot latte. Here is how to make this protein-packed iced macchiato.
Start by brewing a Nespresso Bianco Doppio coffee shot using your Nespresso machine or any espresso maker of your choice. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Fill a glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room at the top for your coffee and protein milk mixture. Pour part of the Fairlife Vanilla Power Core Shake over the ice.
Slowly pour the brewed Nespresso Bianco Doppio coffee over the ice and milk, filling the glass about two-thirds full.
Carefully pour the protein-infused Fairlife Vanilla Power Core milk over the coffee. The milk will naturally blend with the coffee, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
For an extra touch of indulgence, top your Iced Protein Vanilla Macchiato with a dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon. A drizzle of caramel sauce or a pump of vanilla syrup will also sweeten the protein macchiato up a notch.
Hint: In a separate container, mix the vanilla protein powder with a small amount of cold water (about 2-3 tablespoons) to create a smooth protein paste. Combine the protein paste with the Fairlife Vanilla Power Core milk. Shake or stir vigorously to ensure the protein is fully incorporated into the milk, resulting in a creamy and smooth consistency.
Variations
While I love the vanilla protein drinks, others may like other flavors. Here are ideas on how to change up the vanilla macchiato.
- Protein Mocha - Use chocolate Fairlife Core Power milk with the coffee to make a chocolaty mocha coffee drink.
- Caramel Macchiato - Use regular milk of your choosing and caramel syrup and sauce to make a more traditional iced caramel macchiato.
- Protein Frappuccino - add the coffee, ice, and Fairlife Core Power to a blender for a protein frappuccino.
Equipment and Supplies
Having a Nespresso machine is not required to make this coffee drink, but I am a big fan of Nespresso coffee. You can find all the staples for this recipe on my Amazon Subscribe and Save list.
FAQ
Combining coffee and protein drinks like Fairlife protein drinks can help boost overall cognitive function and make you feel sharper throughout the day. Many protein drinks and powders contain additional nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that, when combined with caffeine, can give you the boost of energy you need.
If you are looking for added protein to your coffee drink from Starbucks, just order a cold brew in a larger cup and then add your protein shake to it separately.
