My morning life saving drink

my current obsession: turning my coffee into a protein drink that actually tastes good

here’s exactly what I’ve been using and my honest review:

bettergoods Brownie Batter Cold Brew Coffee (unsweetened)

• this is what makes it taste like a treat

• it’s not super sweet, more like a subtle chocolate/coffee vibe

• I like that it’s not overpowering so you can mix it with other things

• on its own it’s fine… but mixed is where it shines

Elevation Chocolate Ultra-Filtered Milkshake (30g protein)

• THIS is what makes it creamy and actually filling

• super smooth, not chalky at all (which is rare for protein drinks)

• has a strong chocolate milk vibe

• honestly could drink this by itself too

how I like it:

I mix the chocolate milkshake with the cold brew over ice

it ends up tasting like a mocha/brownie situation without being too heavy or overly sweet

my honest take:

• this is one of the only protein combos I’ve actually stuck with

• doesn’t feel like a “protein drink” at all

• perfect for mornings when I don’t feel like eating but still want something filling

if you’re picky about protein drinks tasting weird… this combo is worth trying

... Read moreIf you’re like me, mornings can be rushed and grabbing a quick yet satisfying breakfast isn’t always easy. That’s why I love the combination of Bettergoods Brownie Batter Cold Brew Coffee and Elevation Chocolate Ultra-Filtered Milkshake. This duo creates a creamy, indulgent mocha-like protein drink that fuels my day with 30g of protein, all without the heavy sweetness that many protein drinks have. Personally, I appreciate that the cold brew is unsweetened but has a subtle chocolate-coffee flavor, making it perfect to mix without overpowering the taste. The elevation milkshake adds smooth creaminess without any chalky texture, which is a relief compared to other protein shakes I've tried. I usually prepare it over ice, and the result is a refreshing yet filling beverage that replaces breakfast on days when I’m not too hungry or simply short on time. One tip I found helpful is to adjust the ratios based on your taste preference. If you want it sweeter or more decadent, add a little more of the Brownie Batter Cold Brew; for a thicker, creamier texture, increase the chocolate milkshake portion. This drink also works great as a post-workout recovery shake because of its high protein content and delicious flavor. From a nutritional standpoint, having a protein coffee shake like this in the morning helps maintain muscle mass and keeps me energized without the crash from sugary drinks. Plus, using 100% Arabica beans in the cold brew ensures a smooth medium roast flavor that coffee lovers will appreciate. If you’ve ever struggled to find a protein drink that doesn’t taste artificial or too sweet, I highly recommend trying this combo. It’s easy to prepare, can be made ahead, and makes the morning routine a little more enjoyable. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast looking to add protein to your diet or someone seeking a quick, tasty meal replacement, this drink hits the spot every time.
