The dirty Juspy went down a treat - at Avoca’s summer BBQ, here’s how to make yours at home.

Here’s how to make our summer favourite Dirty Juspy. It’s a super refreshing iced collagen coffee shake with 25g of Juspy protein powder, your milk of choice, and a double espresso swirl. High-protein, clean label, and absolutely delicious.

What is a Dirty Juspy?

Think of it as your new iced coffee obsession: a cold, creamy shake with a bold espresso kick and a velvety hit of chocolate-collagen protein. We showcased the Dirty Juspy at the Avoca Handweavers Summer BBQ 2025, and it it was a huge hit for guests, as well as the hard working staff making sure everything on the day went really well. It’s indulgent, energizing, and secretly good for you.

Best of all? It’s only three ingredients, and ready in under 2 minutes. It’s perfect for warm days, busy mornings, or afternoon pick-me-ups.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 25g Juspy collagen & cacao powder
  (about 2 heaped dessert spoons)
  
  

• 100ml hot espresso (double shot)
  
  

• 300ml milk of choice (we love oat, almond, or full fat milk)
  
  

• Ice to fill half a tall glass
  
  

How to Make a Dirty Juspy

Step 1: Fill the Glass
Take a tall glass and fill it halfway with ice. Pour in your cold milk of choice so it reaches about ⅔ full.

Step 2: Blitz the Espresso + Juspy

Brew your double espresso (about 100ml). Add your powder, and using a fork or hand blender, mix until smooth. We like the small portable hand frothers, but because the coffee is hot, your Juspy powder will dissolve easily! 

If you’re making more than one at a time we love using our USB-chargeable Ninja blender — compact, powerful, and great for travel or office coffee rituals.

Step 3: Pour & Swirl
Slowly pour your warm espresso-chocolate mix over the milk and ice. Watch it swirl like magic. No stirring needed.

Juspy Tip:

Busy morning? Pre-blend your Juspy espresso at home the night before. Keep it in the fridge. Just add milk and ice when you’re ready. Gorgeous energy, no blood sugar crashes. 

When’s the Best Time for a Dirty Juspy?

We love our coffee, but timing matters. Dirty Juspy is the kind of drink that hits just right at around 11am, after the first burst of morning chaos has settled. It’s that delicious in-between moment: you’ve powered through the early rush, ticked a few things off your list, and now it’s time for a reset.

The double espresso delivers that clear-headed lift, while the collagen and protein help sustain your energy without the spike–crash cycle. It’s indulgent, but not heavy. Energising, but still easy on your system.

Should You Have Coffee After Lunch?

It’s tempting to reach for another coffee mid-afternoon especially when the slump creeps in. But here’s the thing: caffeine lingers in your system much longer than you think. Even a 2pm coffee can mess with your sleep quality later that night, especially if you're sensitive to stimulants (and many of us are, even if we don’t feel it immediately).

Instead of chasing that late-afternoon pick-me-up, we recommend making your last coffee count and enjoying it mindfully. That’s why Dirty Juspy shines as a late-morning ritual. It's the coffee you actually sit and savour.
