# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a dessert drink but packs 20 grams of protein, so you're not fooling yourself about nutrition.
  • Five minutes from craving to glass in hand—faster than waiting in a coffee shop line.
  • The coffee-and-protein combo keeps you genuinely satisfied, not just caffeinated and jittery.
02 -
  • If your protein shake is thick or chalky, the cold brew is your secret weapon to loosen it up—more coffee means less gritty texture.
  • Warm ingredients will ruin this completely, so don't skip the chilling step even if you're in a hurry.
03 -
  • If you don't have cold brew on hand, strong regular coffee cooled in the fridge works—it's not quite as smooth but it gets the job done.
  • A blender-made version topped with a tiny dollop of whipped cream and extra cinnamon looks fancy enough that people assume you tried much harder than you actually did.
