# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and creamy without the guilt, like dessert that fuels you instead of weighing you down.
  • Ready in five minutes, which means you can actually make it on mornings when you're running late.
  • One drink covers your coffee craving and your protein needs, so nothing feels like a compromise.
02 -
  • The protein shake's sweetness level matters more than you'd think, so taste before adding honey because oversweetening makes it cloying instead of refreshing.
  • If you're blending it, go easy on the blender speed and duration—over-blending creates a foam that looks impressive but drinks like air instead of something substantial.
03 -
  • Make cold brew in bulk at the start of your week, and keeping protein shakes chilled means this drink is always five minutes away from happening.
  • If your protein shake is room temperature, blend it with ice for an extra-cold drink, or stir in a splash of milk if the shake alone tastes too thick and artificial.
