# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's genuinely delicious, like someone bottled that post-workout endorphin feeling into a glass.
  • Takes five minutes and requires basically no skills beyond pouring, making it foolproof even when you're still half-asleep.
  • The protein actually keeps you full and steady through the morning instead of the usual caffeine crash cycle.
02 -
  • Don't skip chilling your cold brew beforehand, or you'll end up with a lukewarm protein drink that tastes like regret.
  • If you blend it, blend on low for just thirty seconds—over-blending makes it weirdly frothy and separates the flavors instead of marrying them.
03 -
  • Make your cold brew the night before so it's actually cold and ready—this sounds obvious but makes all the difference in the final taste and texture.
  • If your protein shake tastes a little thin or chalky on its own, the cold brew actually masks it better than you'd expect, so don't skip this drink just because you don't love the shake plain.
