Yes. A caramel protein drink can be stirred into iced coffee or blended into a smoothie. Premier Protein publishes recipes for both uses. For hot coffee, check the directions for your specific drink: advice for protein powder does not establish how every ready-to-drink shake will behave when heated.
How to use a caramel protein drink in iced coffee
Chill brewed coffee, fill a glass with ice, add the caramel shake, and stir. Premier Protein’s Iced Caramel Coffee recipe uses this approach and lists 58 calories per recipe serving; the brand says nutrition values are estimates and may vary.
For a foamy-style pour, shake the drink separately, then pour it over iced coffee. That is the method in Premier Protein’s Caramel Latte recipe. The brand’s coffee recipes are examples, not a guarantee that all shakes will mix or taste the same.
How to blend it into a smoothie
A caramel shake can take the place of some or all of a smoothie’s liquid. Blend it with fruit and ice until smooth, then adjust the ice to get the thickness you want.

Caramel apple and banana
Premier Protein’s Caramel Apple Smoothie combines one cup of caramel shake with one peeled and cored green apple, one frozen banana, cinnamon, and half to one cup of ice. The recipe says to combine the ingredients and blend until smooth.
Pear, spinach, and oats
A second option from the brand’s recipe collection combines caramel shake with pear, spinach, Greek yogurt, oats, spices, and ice. The added yogurt and oats make it a different combination from the apple-and-banana version; adjust the ice to suit your preferred consistency.

What to know before mixing or heating one
- Check the package. Serving sizes, ingredients, allergens, and preparation directions vary by product. The cited Premier Protein 11.5 fl oz caramel shake lists 30 g protein, 160 calories, and 1 g total sugar per serving, and identifies milk and soy. Those are label values for that drink, not every caramel shake or the finished recipe. See the product page.
- Hot coffee is less certain. KOS describes mixing its protein powder with a little room-temperature liquid before stirring it into hot coffee. That is powder-specific guidance, not proof that every ready-to-drink shake can be heated successfully. Follow the instructions for the product you have. KOS’s protein-coffee directions and a Food Network Kitchen protein coffee shake both use powder rather than establishing a universal method for bottled drinks.
