# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent—like a café treat—but it's basically a liquid version of balanced nutrition.
  • No cooking required, so you can make it in the time it takes to check your phone.
  • One drink covers both your coffee fix and your protein intake without any prep or planning.
02 -
  • If your protein shake has been sitting in the fridge for a while, it might separate slightly—give it a gentle shake in the bottle before pouring so it blends smoothly with the coffee.
  • The ratio of coffee to protein really matters: more coffee gives you that bold coffee flavor, more shake makes it creamier and sweeter—adjust based on what you're craving that day.
03 -
  • Make your cold brew in batches and keep it in the fridge—then this drink becomes a true five-minute breakfast without any actual cooking.
  • If you ever end up with leftover protein shake that's been opened, use it in this drink before it expires; it's the perfect rescue mission for something that might otherwise go to waste.
