## Basic Recipe

### Ingredients (1 serving)

- Cold brew concentrate (or chilled double espresso): 100–120ml
- Protein powder (1 scoop, ~25g)
- Milk or oat milk: 150ml

## Protein Powder Flavor Compatibility

| Flavor | With Coffee | Notes |
|--------|-------------|-------|
| Chocolate | Excellent | Creates a mocha effect |
| Vanilla | Excellent | Enhances sweetness |
| Caramel | Excellent | Café latte character |
| Unflavored | Good | Coffee flavor comes through cleanly |
| Strawberry | Fair | Can clash with coffee acidity |


> 💡 **TIP**
>
> **Avoid clumping**: Protein powder can clump in cold liquids. Dissolve it first in a small amount of warm water, then add to cold ingredients, or simply use a blender rather than a shaker bottle.


## Timing

| Timing | Purpose | Note |
|--------|---------|------|
| 45–60 min before training | Caffeine peak during workout | Caffeine peaks in blood 30–60 min after consumption |
| Within 30 min after training | Protein for muscle recovery | Post-workout protein timing |


> ⚠️ **注意**
>
> **Caffeine limit**: The standard recommendation for healthy adults is no more than 400mg caffeine per day. Account for all caffeine sources — coffee, tea, pre-workout supplements — when planning intake.
