EST. / SERVING~150 cal | ~22g protein
KEY TO SUCCESS: Blend whey into the CONCENTRATE first, before ice or milk. Proffee-series spine — carries from Ep 1.

Ingredients

RIM THE GLASS

  • very thin smear marshmallow creme (rim coat only — a heavy layer overwhelms the drink and messes up the glass)
  • 1/2 sheet graham cracker, crushed on a plate

ASSEMBLY

  • Ice, as needed
  • 1/2 cup Fairlife fat-free ultra-filtered milk

BUILD CONCENTRATE

  • 1 tbsp instant coffee (creator's strong-coffee dose; use 1/2 tbsp for a milder drink)
  • 1/2 serving unflavored whey isolate (~14g protein — adjust by brand)
  • 2 tsp monk fruit / erythritol sweetener
  • 2-3 tbsp hot water (hot but NOT boiling — start with 2 tbsp, add the third only if needed)

FINISH (post-pour)

  • 2 pieces Max Mallow marshmallows (or equivalent low-calorie marshmallows — macros vary by brand)
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate syrup, for drizzling

You want Ep 1's concentrate-first iced protein coffee turned into a s'mores drink — thin marshmallow-creme + graham rim, two toasted marshmallows, sugar-free chocolate drizzle. 150 cal / 22g protein per glass. Ep 5 of Proffee. Same 5-minute build, same technique spine.

Method

  1. 1.BUILD THE S'MORES RIM. Spread a VERY THIN smear of marshmallow creme around the rim of a tall serving glass. Crush half a graham cracker sheet on a plate and press the coated rim into the crumbs. Rim coat only — a heavy layer overwhelms the coffee and makes the glass messy.
  2. 2.BUILD THE CONCENTRATE (into the rimmed glass). 1 tbsp instant coffee + 1/2 serving unflavored whey isolate + 2 tsp monk fruit sweetener. Blend the whey into the concentrate FIRST — this is the Proffee-series spine that prevents clumps.
  3. 3.ADD HOT WATER + FROTH. 2 tbsp hot (not boiling) water. Submerge the frother head BEFORE turning it on for splatter control. Froth until the concentrate is completely smooth. Add the third tbsp only if it needs help moving.
  4. 4.ADD ICE + MILK. Fill the glass with ice, then pour in 1/2 cup Fairlife fat-free ultra-filtered milk. Stir gently.
  5. 5.TOAST THE MARSHMALLOWS SAFELY. Place the two Max Mallow marshmallows on a heat-safe skewer or utensil and torch them AWAY from the glass and any plastic. Skewer method is the safest and cleanest — never torch marshmallows already sitting in the drink. Set the toasted marshmallows over the glass.
  6. 6.FINISH + SERVE. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate syrup over the toasted marshmallows and serve immediately. Marshmallow rim softens against ambient humidity in ~5 minutes.

SPLIT PLATE SERVING

Adult: Serve the adult portion as described above.

Kid: Serve the kid portion as described above.

Keys to success

  • Hot (NOT boiling) water for the concentrate. Boiling denatures the whey.
  • Submerge the frother head BEFORE turning it on. Splatter control.

If something fails

Whey clumps in the finished drink: Concentrate wasn't blended long enough. Froth for another 15-30 sec until fully smooth before adding ice + milk. Adding whey directly to cold milk = permanent clumps.

Marshmallow rim is a soggy mess: Too much marshmallow creme on the rim. Use a very thin SMEAR only — enough to catch graham crumbs, not enough to run. Wipe the outer glass clean before pressing into crumbs.

Graham crumbs won't stick: Not enough marshmallow creme. Rim needs a light coat — enough tack to grab crumbs but thin enough not to overwhelm the drink. Or wipe the rim dry and re-smear if the coat is patchy.

Marshmallows won't toast evenly on a skewer: Rotate the skewer while torching — marshmallows char on the side facing the flame. A creme brûlée torch works better than a lighter for even coverage. If a torch isn't available, broil them in the oven on a foil-lined tray for ~30-60 sec (watch closely — they burn fast).

Coffee flavor is weak: Too much water in the concentrate. Start with 2 tbsp hot water; add the third only if the mix isn't moving. Verify the instant coffee dose — you can push down to 1/2 tbsp if the full 1 tbsp reads too strong.

Drink tastes chalky: Under-blended concentrate. Also check the whey isolate brand: some are grittier than others. Isolate (not concentrate) blends smoother.

Chocolate drizzle disappears into the marshmallows: Drizzle AFTER the marshmallows are placed, over the top of them. Use a thicker sugar-free syrup — Torani is thicker than Skinny Syrups if you have both.

Storage and reheating

Store: Best served immediately. The blended concentrate (before ice + milk + rim + marshmallows + drizzle) can be refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours — reblend briefly if it separates. Rim + toasted marshmallows + chocolate drizzle go on AT SERVING TIME only.

Reheat: Don't — this is an iced drink. For a hot version, skip the ice and use warm (not boiling) milk over the hot concentrate. Skip the rim and toasted marshmallows for a hot serve (the marshmallow-creme rim softens too fast against a hot glass).

Lasts: Finished drink is best in the first 2-3 minutes. Marshmallow-creme rim softens against ambient humidity in ~5 min; toasted marshmallows soften from drink humidity in ~1-2 min. Concentrate alone (no ice/milk/rim/marshmallows/drizzle) holds 24 hours refrigerated.

Estimated nutrition

~150 cal | ~22g protein.

150 cal / 22g protein per glass (1 glass per batch — Ep 5 doesn't batch because the rim + toasted marshmallows don't hold). Component breakdown per glass: very thin marshmallow creme smear (~10 cal / 0g protein) + 1/2 sheet crushed graham cracker (~30 cal / 0.5g protein) + 1 tbsp instant coffee (~4 cal / 0g protein) + 1/2 serving unflavored whey isolate (~55 cal / 14g protein — varies by brand) + 2 tsp monk fruit (~0 cal) + 3 tbsp hot water (0 cal) + 1/2 cup Fairlife fat-free (~45 cal / 6g protein) + 2 Max Mallow marshmallows (~10 cal / 1g protein) + 1/2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate syrup (~2-3 cal / 0g protein) = ~155 cal / 22g protein raw sum. Rounds to the creator-provided 150 / 22 target. Marked estimated. Verify exact whey / graham cracker / marshmallow / marshmallow creme / chocolate syrup labels before publishing as label-verified.

Flavor target

First sip: crushed graham + marshmallow creme rim carries campfire flavor before the coffee lands. Middle sips: strong instant coffee concentrate + fat-free ultra-filtered milk pull the classic s'mores base into iced-coffee territory. Finish: two toasted marshmallows floated on top + sugar-free chocolate drizzle deliver the s'mores payoff. Not chalky, not clumpy — whey dissolves into the hot concentrate before ice + milk go in.

Method

  1. 1
    BUILD THE S'MORES RIM

    Spread a VERY THIN smear of marshmallow creme around the rim of a tall serving glass. Crush half a graham cracker sheet on a plate and press the coated rim into the crumbs. Rim coat only — a heavy layer overwhelms the coffee and makes the glass messy.

  2. 2

    BUILD THE CONCENTRATE (into the rimmed glass): 1 tbsp instant coffee + 1/2 serving unflavored whey isolate + 2 tsp monk fruit sweetener. Blend the whey into the concentrate FIRST — this is the Proffee-series spine that prevents clumps.

  3. 3
    ADD HOT WATER + FROTH

    2 tbsp hot (not boiling) water. Submerge the frother head BEFORE turning it on for splatter control. Froth until the concentrate is completely smooth. Add the third tbsp only if it needs help moving.

  4. 4
    ADD ICE + MILK

    Fill the glass with ice, then pour in 1/2 cup Fairlife fat-free ultra-filtered milk. Stir gently.

  5. 5
    TOAST THE MARSHMALLOWS SAFELY

    Place the two Max Mallow marshmallows on a heat-safe skewer or utensil and torch them AWAY from the glass and any plastic. Skewer method is the safest and cleanest — never torch marshmallows already sitting in the drink. Set the toasted marshmallows over the glass.

  6. 6
    FINISH + SERVE

    Drizzle 1/2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate syrup over the toasted marshmallows and serve immediately. Marshmallow rim softens against ambient humidity in ~5 minutes.

Watch the full cook

Brands I use

Max Mallow
Low-calorie marshmallows (2 pieces per glass)
The macro-friendly marshmallow pick. Any low-calorie or lower-sugar marshmallow works — Max Mallow is the creator's reference for the 150 cal target. Verify the label before publishing as label-verified. Not sponsored.
Marshmallow Creme
Marshmallow creme / fluff (very thin smear per glass)
The cleanest tack for the graham rim. A tiny amount catches the crumbs without pushing calories. Store brand or Kraft Jet-Puffed both work.
Graham Crackers
Half a Honey Maid graham sheet or equivalent (crushed for the rim)
The traditional s'mores identity. Any graham cracker works — Honey Maid Low-Sugar drops a few calories. Half a sheet is enough for one glass rim.
Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup
Torani Sugar-Free Chocolate OR Skinny Syrups Sugar-Free Chocolate (1/2 tbsp per glass)
The s'mores drizzle. Any thin sugar-free chocolate syrup works — Torani is thicker and holds on the marshmallows better. Not sponsored.
Fairlife
Fairlife
Fat-Free Ultra-Filtered Milk (1/2 cup per glass)
Series-standard high-protein milk in the fat-free grade — same as Ep 1-4. 8g protein per 1/2 cup vs 4g in regular skim milk. Not sponsored.
Unflavored Whey Isolate
Any clean-tasting unflavored whey isolate — ~28g protein per serving
Protein spine. Isolate (not concentrate) blends smoother. 1/2 serving per glass = ~14g whey protein + ~8g from the fat-free ultra-filtered milk = ~22g total.
Any Instant Coffee
Nescafé, Folgers, Trader Joe's Instant, etc. (1 tbsp per glass for strong; 1/2 tbsp for milder)
Caffeine spine. Any instant coffee blends into the concentrate without a coffeemaker step. Caffeine content varies by brand — check the package if intake matters.
