Caveman Coffee Brings New Cold Brew To Our RV Morning Ritual

As many of you know already, coffee is an integral part of our day. Not only does it give us that extra boost when we need some energy for long hauls on the road (we're talking 6-8 hours), but morning coffee has also become something of a ritual in our small RV. There is something about waking up, the silence of the nighttime fading away, grinding our beans, and putting on the water to boil. Our mornings just aren't complete without our coffee ritual.
​

But lately, we've been busy. Super busy. Which means that our 15-20 minute coffee making process has taken a backseat to what we have going on for that day. Sometimes our forearms can't take the continued grinding of the beans, you know? Thus brings me to our new favorite coffee obsession: Caveman Coffee Cold Brew Concentrate.

What started with a slight fixation with Juiceland's Percolator drink, soon turned into our need to recreate this delicious morning elixir. This is where Caveman Coffee comes into play. We had tried a few cold brew concentrates prior to Caveman Coffee and were unimpressed. They weren't offering the kind of kick, nor the flavor that we were looking for. But Caveman Cold Brew was different. It came in a large 22 oz bottle, sleek and slim, with only one set of directions: mix with water. Now, you have to know that this is music to our ears--the girls who grind beans, boil water, and wait for the Chemex to do it's thing every morning. All we needed to do was add water and voila.

​The perfect way to drink our coffee on the road.

We genuinely loved this cold brew concentrate so much that we started to play around with a few recipes. Most mornings for us include a vegan protein shake and a cup of coffee--quick and easy, while also providing necessary nutrients and amino acids. So we started thinking, what if we combined our two morning drinks into one?! Introducing...

Rise & Shine Morning Shake

Ingredients

1.5-2 ounces Caveman Cold Brew Concentrate
Half a Banana
2-3 Pitted Dates
1 tsp Cacao Powder
Dash of Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp MCT Coconut Oil
1-2 TBSP Califia Farms Better Half Coconut Cream & Almond Milk
6-8 ounces Water
Add Ice (for desired thickness)
**Optional Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein Powder Chocolate

The instructions for this one are quite simple: add everything together and blend. We use a NutriBullet to get everything blended just right, but you could also use a blender, too. Whatever works in your kitchen.

​The MCT Coconut Oil is an added bonus (also made by Caveman Coffee), which  provides an unbelievable all-natural energy kick. MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides, which when added to your diet regularly may increase energy, stamina, improve digestion, boost metabolism and more. Adding it to our morning shakes has made a huge difference in how we feel throughout the day.

Besides the morning shake routine, we've also been using Caveman Cold Brew Concentrate as an easy way to make vegan iced coffee before taking Spike and Penny on their walk. Within 5 minutes, both of us have an iced coffee ready to go, no waiting, no brewing. It's pretty darn glorious. Just follow the Caveman Cold Brew instructions on the bottle, add your desired MCT oil amount (1 TBSP recommended) and splash with your favorite vegan creamer.
