Banana Cream Iced Protein Coffee (Without the Creamer!)

Some mornings, I don’t want a complicated recipe or a coffee packed with sugar. I just want something that tastes like a treat, keeps me full, and helps me hit my protein goals.

This has quickly become one of my favorite combinations because it’s so simple—and the best part? I completely skip traditional coffee creamer. The protein shake does all the work, making the coffee creamy, flavorful, and satisfying while adding 30 grams of protein.

If you’ve been trying to find easy ways to increase your daily protein intake, this is proof that it doesn’t have to be complicated.

My Simple Bananas & Cream Protein Coffee

Ingredients:

• 1-2 tsp (1 tsp= 1 shot espresso) NESCAFÉ Gold Espresso Instant Espresso
• 2 oz water, hot or cold (to dissolve the espresso)
• Ice
• 1 bottle Premier Protein Bananas & Cream (30g protein)
• 1-2 pumps Fashion Street Café Sugar-Free Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
• Caramel drizzle (optional, but recommended!)

Directions

1. Dissolve NESCAFÉ Gold Espresso Instant Espresso in a small amount of water.
2. Using a handheld frother, mix the espresso until dissolved, then add your desired flavored syrup. (I used Sugar-Free Toasted Marshmallow for this recipe.)
3. Drizzle caramel around the inside of your glass for that coffee shop look and a little extra sweetness (if desired).
4. Fill the glass with ice.
5. Pour in one Premier Protein Bananas & Cream shake.
6. Add the espresso mixture over the top.
7. Stir well and enjoy!

Why I Love It

• ✔️ 30 grams of protein
• ✔️ No coffee creamer needed
• ✔️ Ready in just a couple of minutes
• ✔️ Sweet without being overly sugary
• ✔️ Keeps me full much longer than a regular iced coffee

I know getting enough protein can feel overwhelming, especially on busy mornings. But sometimes it’s the little swaps that make the biggest difference. Instead of adding creamer with very little nutritional value, I’m getting a creamy coffee and 30 grams of protein in one simple step.

Healthy habits don’t have to be all-or-nothing. They don’t have to involve complicated recipes or expensive ingredients. Sometimes they look like finding a coffee you genuinely enjoy that also helps you fuel your day.

Easy Flavor Variations

Once you have the basic formula down, the possibilities are almost endless! Here are a few of my current favorites:

🍌 Banana Bread (Slightly Different than the Featured Recipe)

• Bananas & Cream Premier Protein
• NESCAFÉ Gold Espresso
• Sugar-Free Brown Sugar Cinnamon Syrup
• Make your own cinnamon cold foam with a splash of milk, dash of cinnamon and froth it up

Creamy, cozy, and tastes just like banana bread in a glass.
**Optional Variation: You can also use 1/2 Cinnamon Roll Premier Protein and 1/2 Bananas & Cream Premier Protein

🤍 White Chocolate Raspberry

• White Chocolate Raspberry Premier Protein
• NESCAFÉ Gold Espresso
• Optional: Sugar-Free Raspberry Syrup for even more berry flavor
• White Chocolate & Raspberry Drizzle

This one is light, fruity, and perfect if you want something a little sweeter without feeling overly rich.

🍫 S’mores Iced Latte

• Vanilla Premier Protein
• NESCAFÉ Gold Espresso
• Sugar-Free Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
• Dark Chocolate Drizzle

It tastes like a toasted marshmallow with melted chocolate—without needing a campfire! Add some zero-sugar whipped cream on top for that coffeehouse look and taste!

I’d love to hear what flavor combinations you’d like me to try next! As the seasons change, I’ll be sharing even more protein coffee recipes inspired by fall, the holidays, and beyond. Be sure to check back, and if you recreate one of these at home, let me know your favorite!
