Allergens

Milk

Most whey powders contain soya lecithin, which counts as soya. Check the tub.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Ingredients

Whey protein isolate1 scoop, about 30 g
Vanilla or unflavoured. Chocolate turns it into a mocha, which is a different recipe on this site. Values for an unflavoured or lightly flavoured isolate. A concentrate or a blend carries more fat and carbohydrate at the same scoop.
Espresso2 shots, about 60 g
Cooled for a few minutes. Hot espresso on whey makes it clump.
Skimmed milk200 ml
IceA large handful
Granulated sweetenerTo taste

Method

Pull the espresso and leave it to cool for five minutes while you get the rest ready.
Put the ice in a shaker or jar, pour over the milk, then the coffee, then the whey and sweetener.
Shake hard for twenty seconds until frothy. Pour over fresh ice if you want it colder.

Worth knowing

Shaken rather than blended is deliberate. The ice in the shaker chills it without watering it down as much, and a blender turns whey and coffee into a head of foam.
Skimmed milk is a fifth of the protein here. With water instead it is a thinner drink and the figure drops accordingly.
