You won’t believe how easy it is to make this delicious carnivore coffee milkshake! With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a creamy, protein packed treat that satisfies both your coffee cravings and sweet tooth while staying completely true to your carnivore diet.
I know how challenging it can be to find good drink options when following a carnivore lifestyle. Most coffee shop beverages are loaded with sugars and plant based ingredients that don’t fit the diet.
This homemade milkshake solves that problem by using only carnivore friendly ingredients while still delivering that rich coffee flavor you love.
The secret to the perfect texture in this milkshake is freezing heavy cream into ice cubes ahead of time.
This creates a thick, creamy consistency without diluting the flavor like regular ice would. Combined with protein powder and instant coffee, it makes for a satisfying drink that can work as a quick breakfast, post workout recovery, or afternoon pick me up.

💡Tips
1. Adjust the Consistency to Your Liking
One of the best things about making your own carnivore coffee milkshake is that you can customize the consistency to your liking.
Start by blending the whey powder, vanilla, instant coffee, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Then, add the frozen heavy cream cubes gradually, blending after each addition. This allows you to check the thickness of the milkshake and stop adding cubes when you reach your desired consistency.
2. Serve and Enjoy Immediately
This carnivore coffee milkshake is best served and enjoyed immediately after blending. The frozen heavy cream cubes will begin to melt quickly, so I recommend serving the milkshake right away to maintain its thick and creamy texture.
Pour the milkshake into a tall glass and add any desired toppings, such as a drizzle of carnivore caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

FAQ
How long do the frozen cream cubes take to freeze?
Frozen cream cubes typically take at least 2 hours to freeze completely, but for best results, leave them in the freezer overnight.
The freezing time depends on your freezer’s temperature setting, the size of your ice cube tray compartments, and how full you fill them. Larger cubes will take longer to freeze than smaller ones.
What type of whey protein works best?
Unflavored or vanilla whey protein isolate works best for this carnivore coffee milkshake. Whey isolate contains minimal lactose and is usually more than 90% protein, making it a good fit for the carnivore diet.
