Iced Peanut Butter Latte
This recipe is a cool and refreshing drink made with simple ingredients like espresso, peanut butter, and milk. A healthier spin on your favorite coffeehouse order—ready in minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 2 to 4 ounces hot espresso, or ¼ cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup, adjust to taste
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare your glass: Use a spoon to spread the peanut butter around the inside of a medium glass or oversized mug that holds at least 2 cups (to leave room for ice and stirring). It creates a fun visual effect and melts into the coffee like a dream.Alternatively, you can simply add the peanut butter directly to the bottom of the glass—when the hot espresso hits it, the PB will start to melt. Use a spoon to stir vigorously and blend the peanut butter into the coffee until smooth. The swirl around the sides is just for fun!
- Add espresso: Pour the hot espresso or coffee into the glass. Tilt and swirl to help melt the peanut butter into the brew. If needed, use a spoon to gently scrape and mix the PB from the sides so it fully incorporates.
- Mix in the good stuff: Add milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir well until everything is combined and smooth.
- Cool it down: Drop in some ice cubes, give it one last stir, add an optional squirt of whipped cream, and enjoy!
Notes
Make it your own:
• Add cocoa powder (½ to 1 teaspoon) for a mocha-peanut butter twist.
• Top it off with frothed milk or whipped cream for an indulgent café feel.
• Drizzle a little melted chocolate or extra peanut butter over the top for flair.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon or sea salt for an added flavor punch. Protein boost:
• Stir in a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder (or collagen peptides) while the coffee is still hot to help it dissolve easily. For a blended version, try this Frozen Peanut Butter Latte! Storage tip:
• Best enjoyed fresh, but you can double or triple the batch (minus the ice) and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a shake before serving over ice.
