The golden rule in our household is to never have coffee on an empty stomach (far too many years of doing so taught us this lesson 😅).
Long gone are the days of black coffee prior to brekky! We now enjoy pairing our morning coffee with a protein-rich breakfast (or a serve of whey), as the combination can help provide a more balanced and sustained source of energy than coffee alone.
This Protein-Loaded Iced Coffee combines coffee, coconut water and honey with our Certified Organic Whey Protein Powder for a delicious, balanced start to the day.

What are the Benefits of Organic Whey Protein Powder?
Whey protein is a high-quality, complete protein naturally derived from milk during the cheese-making process. It is one of the most bioavailable forms of protein available, making it an excellent choice for supporting daily nutrition, muscle health, and satiety. Our Cell Squared version takes it further, a pure, single-ingredient ACO Certified Organic + HASTA Certified Whey Protein Powder sourced from 365-day grass-fed New Zealand cows, gently processed to retain its natural goodness with zero fillers, flavours or additives.
This makes it an easy and effective way to boost your daily protein intake. Whey protein is highly bioavailable and rich in essential amino acids (including BCAAs), supporting energy, muscle maintenance, recovery, and overall nutrition.
A key advantage is that it helps you feel fuller for longer. The high-quality protein promotes satiety, which can support better appetite control and sustained energy between meals.

Ingredients - Protein Loaded Iced Coffee Recipe with Organic Whey Protein
1 cup ice
1 cup coconut water
1 cup strong black coffee
2 tsp honey (or more if you like it sweeter)
1-3 Tbsp Cell Squared Whey Protein Powder
Method - Protein Loaded Iced Coffee Recipe with Organic Whey Protein
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend for around 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. Give it a taste and adjust if needed, if you’d like it a little sweeter, add a touch more honey and blend again.
Optional: Add a few extra ice cubes to two glasses before pouring.
Pour into the glasses, give it a little stir, and enjoy!
TIP: As you can see in the photos, this does naturally separate over time. Giving it a stir with a straw will bring it back together, although it may separate again fairly quickly. If you'd prefer a creamier texture that stays combined for longer, you can optionally add a splash of cream, milk, coconut milk, or almond milk to the blender. It's not essential, but it does help reduce separation.

What is the animal based diet?
The animal-based diet is growing in popularity as more people seek nutrient-dense, whole-food nutrition inspired by ancestral eating patterns.
At its core, the animal-based diet focuses on high quality consciously sourced meats, nutrient-dense organ meats, raw dairy & honey, and organic fruits.
Beef liver powder is a great addition to any diet, including the animal-based diet.
