Learn how to make a high-protein iced coffee with 25g protein, 170mg caffeine, and just 1g sugar. A simple, step-by-step guide for a creamy, low-sugar coffee drink.
Quick answer
Use a ready-to-mix protein coffee concentrate like Jot Protein Coffee to get 25g protein and 170mg caffeine in one cup. Just add cold water or milk, ice, and stir—no blender needed.
Why a ready-to-mix protein coffee beats DIY
Making protein iced coffee at home usually means blending coffee with protein powder, which can turn gritty or clumpy. A pre-mixed protein coffee concentrate avoids that issue entirely because the protein is already dissolved in the liquid.
With Jot Protein Coffee, you get 25g of grass-fed whey protein and 170mg of caffeine per serving, with only 1g of sugar. That makes it a practical choice for a low-sugar coffee drink that still tastes creamy, especially in French Vanilla flavor.
Trade-offs to consider
If you prefer to control every ingredient, a DIY protein coffee lets you choose your own protein powder and sweetener. But that adds prep time and cleanup, and you risk a gritty texture if the powder doesn't dissolve completely.
A ready-to-mix option like Jot Protein Coffee is faster and more consistent, but you're limited to the available flavors. If you like experimenting with different protein sources or sweeteners, a DIY approach might be more flexible.
How to make your protein iced coffee
- Gather your ingredients: You'll need one serving of Jot Protein Coffee concentrate, cold water or milk, and ice. If you're using milk, choose your preferred type—dairy or plant-based—but note that the protein content will increase if you use dairy milk.
- Fill a glass with ice: Add ice cubes to a tall glass. The more ice you use, the colder and more diluted the drink becomes. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use less ice. Check that the glass is large enough to hold the ice and liquid without overflowing.
- Pour the protein coffee over ice: Pour one serving of Jot Protein Coffee concentrate directly over the ice. Since it's a concentrate, you don't need to brew anything—just measure the recommended serving size. Avoid adding too much concentrate; stick to the serving size to keep the protein and caffeine amounts accurate.
- Add cold water or milk: Top up the glass with cold water or milk according to your taste. Start with a small amount, stir, and adjust. Using milk makes the drink creamier and adds extra protein if you choose dairy milk. If you use milk, remember it adds calories and may change the sugar content slightly, so check the label if you're tracking macros.
- Stir and enjoy: Stir well to combine the concentrate with the liquid. The protein is already dissolved, so you shouldn't see any clumps. Taste and adjust—add more water or milk if it's too strong, or a sugar-free sweetener if you like it sweeter. For an iced coffee that stays cold without diluting, use coffee ice cubes made from frozen leftover coffee.
