How to Make the Perfect Coffee Protein Shake with Enlighten Me

Brew It Your Way: How to Make the Perfect Coffee Shake

Coffee lovers, this one's for you. While the Enlighten Me Shakes are available in chocolate and vanilla, that doesn’t mean you’re limited in flavour. In fact, our community has shown us just how creative a coffee shake can be - with all the benefits of our nourishing, doctor-designed formula. 

Whether you’re after a rich mocha hit or a creamy vanilla latte vibe, here’s how to create your own custom coffee-flavoured shake, minus the bitterness.

Why We Haven’t Released a Coffee Flavour (Yet!)

We’ve explored the idea of launching a ready-made coffee flavour - but the feedback from our community was clear. Everyone has a personal favourite. Some like it strong, others sweet. Some want an espresso-style bite, others a subtle hint. And most importantly, many of you told us that most coffee shakes on the market are simply too bitter.

So instead of creating one version, we’re giving you the tools to make your own - with all the nourishment of the Enlighten Me Shakes, including:

• Over 32g of protein per serve - fuel for your muscles, metabolism and satiety
• Low carbohydrate content - great for blood sugar and energy stability
• Certified FODMAP Friendly - gentle on digestion and bloating
• Nutrient-rich formulation - with prebiotics, probiotics and a daily dose of greens

Your Coffee Shake, Your Way

Here's how to craft your personalised coffee-flavoured shake at home.

1. Start with your base:

• For a vanilla latte-style shake: Use the Vanilla Enlighten Me Shake. Its light, creamy flavour allows your coffee to shine.
• For a mocha-style shake: Use the Chocolate Enlighten Me Shake for a rich, indulgent blend.

2. Choose your coffee type:

• Brew a coffee pod using your coffee machine.
• Dissolve 1–2 teaspoons of freeze-dried instant coffee in a small amount of boiling water.
• Use a cold brew or coffee concentrate for a smoother finish.

3. Mix it up:

• Add your prepared coffee to a shaker or blender with 2 scoops of the Enlighten Me Shake.
• Add 250–300ml of cold water or light milk (dairy or plant-based).
• Shake or blend until smooth.

Optional: Add a few ice cubes for an iced coffee-style shake, or a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flair.
