Creamy, caffeine-free coffee protein smoothie with oat milk, tahini, dates and WAM Protein Iced Coffee. About 27 g protein, ready in 5 minutes.
This coffee protein smoothie blends oat milk, tahini, dates and WAM Protein Iced Coffee into a creamy, caffeine-free drink with around 27 g of protein. It takes five minutes and is my favourite way to use Iced Coffee protein once the weather turns cold and grey.
Simply having this protein on ice doesn’t do it for me in autumn, so it’s time for a glow-up. The tahini adds creaminess, the dates bring caramel sweetness, and a dusting of cinnamon adds warmth – perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up.

Why WAM Iced Coffee works here

FAQ
Does WAM Iced Coffee protein contain caffeine?
No, WAM Protein Iced Coffee is caffeine-free, so you can enjoy this smoothie in the afternoon or evening.
Can I make this smoothie without tahini?
Yes. Peanut or almond butter work as well, or leave it out for a lighter smoothie – it will be a little less creamy.
Can I use another plant milk?
Yes. Soy milk adds a few extra grams of protein; almond milk makes it lighter.
