An iced latte is mostly milk, so adding protein powder is an easy swap. Vanilla whey stands in for the syrup. The scoop alone adds about 24 grams of protein, and the milk adds more. Pour the espresso in last so the layers show in the glass.

- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (about 30 g)

Tips
- Hot espresso can make whey clump. Let it cool, or mix the powder with cold milk first as this recipe does.
- A shaker bottle with a mixing ball works fine in place of a blender for this one.
Swaps and variations
- Use oat milk for a creamier latte.
- Use cold brew concentrate in place of the espresso.
