  • The instant pudding mix is the secret ingredient—it acts as a thickener and adds that signature coffeehouse creaminess
  • If you don't have vanilla beans, use an extra 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract or try vanilla bean paste
  • Blend in stages if your blender struggles: pulse first to break up ice, then blend continuously until smooth
  • For meal prep, combine all ingredients except ice in a freezer-safe container; freeze, then blend with ice when ready to drink
