Cryptic Cold Brew – A Must-Try for the Most Mischievous

Posted on October 31st, 2023 By in Recipes Read Time: 8 mins.

Have you ever tried toilet-papering multiple houses in one night? It’s exhausting. It requires hard-work, focus, stamina and determination.

And we created the perfect way to fuel up before you deploy your truckload of ‘TP’ throughout the neighborhood.

This homemade cold-brew protein coffee can wake the dead

OBVIOUSLY we do not condone or suggest you vandalize your loving neighbors’ property with toilet paper. It’s wasteful and unlawful. (If you happen to accidentally grab two of those full-size Snickers bars, well…that’s a different story

It’s Halloween Evening.

..and you’ve made your rounds of the neighborhood, and enjoyed maybe a few too many of those Kit Kat bars.

A wave of sleepiness comes over you, as the sugar-rush gives way to a king-sized Halloween drowsiness.

You doze off into a deep Autumn slumber, wondering why we don’t get the day after Halloween off from work.

After all the hiking around, and all the candy, Halloween often leads to one seriously haunting hangover.

Luckily, we’ve got your back.

Caffeine + Protein to the Rescue

Caffeine can provide a great boost on its own, but adding protein takes things to a whole new level.

Luckily, our cryptic cold brew has both, to help get you back on your feet, and ready to decorate the house for Christmas.

It really is happening earlier and earlier every year!

Try this recipe tomorrow morning, and see how adding a bit of protein to your morning ‘joe hits a little different.

Cryptic Coffee Recipe:

  • Add 1 scoop of APOLLO protein to 8-10 ounces of brewed coffee (make sure the coffee is brought down to room-temperature or colder, as super hot/fresh coffee can make the protein clump!)
  • Shake, or blend for 30 seconds, or until smooth (option to add ice for more of ‘frappacinno texture)
  • [OPTIONAL COLD FOAM] Separately, blend 1/8 C heavy whipping cream with a tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract for 15-20 seconds until a light, foamy texture is achieved
  • Pour your protein + coffee over ice, and top with a few spoonfuls of your homemade cold foam
  • Enjoy!

This recipe works great with our vanilla protein powder, or our chocolate protein powder for all of our ‘mocha’ fans.
