FAQ
Q: Is this keto iced coffee protein shake dairy-free
A: Yes, this recipe is completely dairy-free. It uses unsweetened coconut or almond milk and specifies a dairy-free keto protein powder.

Pro Tips
- Shake or blend for a full 30 to 60 seconds — protein powder needs the time to dissolve completely, otherwise you get a gritty layer at the bottom of the glass.
- For a frappuccino-style consistency, blend everything with the ice in a high-speed blender instead of pouring the shake over cubes.
- Swap the vanilla protein for a dairy-free chocolate keto protein powder to turn it into a mocha shake without changing the ratios.
- Stir in a teaspoon of MCT oil when you want extra fat and longer-lasting energy — it blends in cleanly and keeps the drink keto.
- A dash of cinnamon or a few drops of sugar-free caramel or hazelnut syrup changes the flavor without adding meaningful carbs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this iced coffee protein shake dairy-free?
Yes, it is dairy-free as written — the recipe uses unsweetened coconut or almond milk and a dairy-free keto protein powder.
Can I use brewed coffee instead of cold brew?
You can, but brew it strong and chill it completely first, or the ice will dilute the flavor and the shake will be lukewarm and thin.
Is this shake keto-friendly?
One serving has 3.1 g total carbs with 1 g fiber, about 2.1 g net carbs, plus 25.5 g protein and 18.1 g fat — a solid keto breakfast or post-workout option.
What if my protein powder does not dissolve well?
Use a shaker bottle or milk frother and blend for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth. Adding the powder to the liquid before the ice helps it dissolve faster.
