# Recipe Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes but tastes like you actually tried, which counts for something on hectic mornings.
  • You get a legitimate protein boost without choking down a chalky shake or downing another cup of coffee.
  • The creaminess from the protein totally transforms cold brew from sharp and bitter into something you actually crave.
02 -
  • If you use a blender, blend just long enough to combine everything—over-blending breaks down the protein shake and makes it thin instead of thick and creamy.
  • The ratio of coffee to protein matters more than you'd think; too much coffee and it tastes bitter, too much protein shake and you're basically drinking dessert instead of getting caffeinated.
03 -
  • Make cold brew in bulk on Sunday so you always have it ready—it keeps in the fridge for two weeks and transforms your whole week.
  • Taste your protein shake on its own first so you know how sweet it is; this one decision changes whether you add any sweetener at all.
