Cold Brew Protein Shake

Morgan James Eckroth
I find this shake perfect post-workout or as a morning pick-me-up when I’m feeling particularly lazy. It combines my love for coffee with the guilt-free joy of protein. Plus, it's a solid way to keep my caffeine levels and muscle gains in check. Win-win!
