Pro Tips
- Brew a large batch of coffee and keep it chilled in the fridge so the whole drink comes together in under 2 minutes when the craving hits.
- Freeze leftover coffee in an ice cube tray and use those cubes instead of regular ice. The drink stays bold and chocolatey instead of getting watered down.
- Blend the coffee, water, and collagen powder for 30-45 seconds before adding the ice. That head start is what keeps the drink free of chalky protein clumps.
- For a creamier, latte-like texture, swap the filtered water for almond, oat, or whole milk. The blender handles either at the same timing.
- A dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon blended in enhances the chocolate and coffee flavours without adding carbs. Serve immediately for the best frosty texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this iced coffee ahead of time?
It's best blended fresh and frosty, but you can refrigerate it for a few hours and reblend or shake before drinking. Use coffee ice cubes so it doesn't dilute as it sits.
Can I use regular protein powder instead of chocolate collagen?
Yes. Any chocolate keto protein powder blends in at the same amount. Check the label for added sugars if you're keeping carbs minimal.
How do I make it creamier?
Replace the ¼ cup of filtered water with almond, oat, or whole milk. The result drinks more like a latte while keeping the same blend time and frosty finish.
Is this chocolate iced coffee keto-friendly?
Yes. Each serving has 2g carbs, 22g protein, and 1g fat, sweetened only through the chocolate collagen powder. It's a high-protein, low-carb breakfast or afternoon lift.
