- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup ice
Optional Toppings

Instructions
- Prepare Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the ice and diluting the shake.

- Serve: Pour the shake into a tall glass. Optionally, top with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle to enhance the flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use chilled coffee to keep the shake cold and maintain its creamy texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust the amount of caramel sauce depending on desired sweetness.
- Adding ice helps thicken the shake and gives it a refreshing iced coffee feel.
- Protein powder flavors vary; caramel protein powder is preferred to match the shake’s flavor profile.
