Notes

  • Freeze coffee into cubes so it stays strong, not watery. Game-changer!
  • Low-carb? Swap banana for frozen cauli—tastes sneaky good.
  • Fridge it for 1–2 days (stir before sipping), or cube and freeze for months of meal prep wins.
  • Personalize it: Include nut butter for more fats and increase protein intake for post-gym beast mode (48–50g, definitely!).
