Coffee Protein Shake Meal Prep and Storage
Meal Prep
- Individual Smoothie Bags – Add the chocolate coffee smoothie ingredients (less any liquid) to a sandwich bag and seal. Store in the freezer (will hold for 1 month in freezer).
- Family Sized Smoothie Bags – Add several servings worth of ingredients (less any liquid) to a gallon freezer bag. Place a 1/2 cup plastic measuring cup in the bag. Close and seal the bag, and store in the freezer (will hold for 1 month in freezer).
- Prepared Smoothies – these smoothies are best made fresh, but you can make them ahead of time and store in a clean jar (with a lid) in the fridge.
Leftover Storage
- Fridge Storage – Add any leftover smoothie to a jar (I actually serve them in jars so all I have to do is add a lid). Close and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Freezer Storage – Pour any leftover smoothie into ice cube molds, and freeze solid (about 4 hours). Then pop out of the mold and move to a freezer bag to avoid freezer burn. Will hold for 1 month in the freezer.

Notes
How to Add More Protein to this Coffee Protein Shake Recipe:
- Greek Yogurt… is a great metabolism boosting ingredient to add to your coffee smoothie recipes. Just add 1/4 cup per serving. Get unflavored and unsweetened to make a healthy, low calorie coffee protein shake breakfast recipe.
- Collagen Powder… for our non vegan or vegetarian readers, collagen power is a great option. It has no flavor and 18 grams of protein. Plus you can add it to soups, tea… even your morning coffee!
- Almond Butter… Almond butter adds protein and healthy fats, plus it naturally boosts metabolism. Try adding it to your breakfast coffee smoothie for a boost of nutrition.

Ice or yogurt will work. The banana thickens the recipe. So you want something that will help thicken it.
Can I replace the banana with something else? I hate banana in smoothies
