Instructions

In a cup with a lid (my husband uses the bar-help drink mixer that we got for our wedding and never used before; there are also special shaker cups for mixing protein drinks) or a measuring cup with a whisk, vigorously shake/whip the coffee, water, vanilla and stevia as well as salt (Use the code kitchenstewardship for 15% off of your first purchase) and baking soda (if using).
Add the protein powder and one cup of the milk and shake or whip again until completely dissolved.
Place ice in a pint glass, pour mixture in and fill to the top with milk, which will be slightly less than a cup.
Drink and enjoy!

Notes

Everyone feels a little differently about coffee – it seems like one day it’s good for you, the next day it’s not. You could use a touch of cocoa (use the code STEWARDSHIP for 10% off at that site!) powder or other flavoring instead of coffee if you don’t prefer it.
