Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Tastes like a luxury café drink—without the sugar crash or mystery syrups.
• Collagen + antioxidants offer skin and joint support while you sip.
• Customizable for dairy-free, low-calorie, or extra-rich preferences.
• Quick and simple—ready in under 5 minutes, no barista degree needed.
• Balanced energy thanks to healthy fats and adaptogens (optional, but epic).

Ingredients Breakdown

• Freshly brewed hot coffee (8–10 oz)—medium or dark roast for a deep flavor base.
• Collagen peptides (1–2 scoops, 10–20 g)—unflavored; supports skin elasticity and joints.
• Unsweetened milk (1/2–3/4 cup)—oat, almond, coconut, or dairy; choose your texture and taste.
• MCT oil or coconut oil (1 tsp)—for creaminess and smoother caffeine release.
• Raw honey or maple syrup (1–2 tsp)—optional sweetener with minerals; adjust to taste.
• Ground cinnamon (1/4 tsp)—adds warmth and may help with blood sugar balance.
• Pure vanilla extract (1/4 tsp)—enhances the “latte” vibe without sugar bombs.
• Pinch of sea salt—tiny but mighty flavor booster; helps round the sweetness.
• Optional boosts:
  • Ashwagandha (1/4 tsp)—calming adaptogen for stress support.
  • Cacao powder (1 tsp)—antioxidant-rich, chocolatey depth.
  • Hyaluronic acid powder (food-grade, 1/8 tsp)—for hydration; optional and niche.
  • Cardamom (pinch)—fragrant, digestion-friendly spice.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Brew your base. Make 8–10 oz of hot coffee.

   Aim for 195–205°F if you’re a precision nerd. Stronger brew = richer latte.

2. Warm the milk. Heat your milk on the stove or in a microwave until steamy but not boiling. Foam it if you can; no foam shaming here.
3. Blend the powerhouse. In a heat-safe blender, add coffee, collagen, MCT/coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener.

   Blend 10–20 seconds until frothy.

4. Combine and elevate. Pour into your mug, top with warm milk, and stir. Dust with extra cinnamon if you’re feeling fancy.
5. Optional boosts. Add ashwagandha, cacao, or cardamom before blending. Start small—these are potent.
6. Taste, adjust, enjoy. Too strong?

   More milk. Too sweet? Add a pinch more salt or cinnamon.

   Make it yours.

Keeping It Fresh

• Pre-mix dry ingredients. Make a small jar with collagen, cinnamon, cacao, and a pinch of salt. Scoop and go.
• Use fresh coffee beans. Whole beans, ground right before brewing, keep flavor bold and antioxidants higher. Stale beans taste like cardboard—don’t do that to yourself.
• Store collagen right. Keep it sealed, dry, and away from heat to prevent clumping and off-flavors.
• Batch your milk. Froth enough milk for two days and refrigerate.

  Reheat gently; don’t boil.

Benefits of This Recipe

• Skin support: Collagen peptides provide amino acids (glycine, proline) that support skin elasticity and hydration. It’s not magic—just consistent building blocks.
• Antioxidant protection: Coffee is rich in polyphenols that help combat oxidative stress, which is linked with aging. Translation: still you, just less frazzled at a cellular level.
• Smoother energy: MCTs and fats slow caffeine absorption for fewer jitters and a cleaner focus arc.
• Blood sugar balance: Cinnamon and protein/fat combo help blunt spikes.

  Fewer crashes, more productivity.

• Gut-friendly: Collagen and gelatin components may support gut lining integrity. Your stomach will clap back less, IMO.
• Stress modulation: Optional ashwagandha can help manage cortisol—handy when life is “a lot.”

What Not to Do

• Don’t boil collagen. Extremely high heat can degrade texture and flavor. Blend into hot, not violently boiling, liquids.
• Don’t overload sweeteners. You’re aiming for therapeutic and indulgent—not a sugar spiral.

  Start with 1 tsp.

• Don’t skip the pinch of salt. It won’t make it salty; it balances bitterness and sweetness like a pro.
• Don’t use flavored creamers packed with oils and gums. They mask flavor and can mess with digestion.
• Don’t add every optional boost at once. Test one at a time so you actually know what you like.

Recipe Variations

• Mocha Glow: Add 1 tsp cacao powder and an extra 1/2 tsp maple syrup. Sprinkle with shaved dark chocolate because you’re worth it.
• Vanilla Cardamom Latte: Use 1/2 tsp vanilla and a pinch of cardamom. Cozy, fragrant, borderline addictive.
• Keto Cream Dream: Heavy cream instead of milk, skip the sweetener, and use 1 tbsp MCT oil.

  Thick, silky, and powerfully satiating.

• Dairy-Free Coconut Cloud: Full-fat coconut milk for lush texture; add a pinch of nutmeg for depth.
• Protein-Forward: Add an extra half scoop of collagen and reduce sweetener. Great pre-workout or busy mornings.
• Iced Version: Brew strong coffee, cool it, then shake with collagen, milk, and ice in a jar. Collagen dissolves best if you whisk first in warm coffee, then chill.

FAQ

Will collagen really help my skin look younger?

Clinical studies suggest daily collagen peptides can improve skin elasticity, hydration, and smoothness over 4–12 weeks.

It’s a steady habit, not an overnight filter.

Can I use protein powder instead of collagen?

Yes, but it won’t behave the same. Collagen is virtually tasteless and heat-stable; whey or plant proteins can foam excessively and change texture. If you swap, blend gently.

Is this safe to drink every day?

For most healthy adults, yes.

If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, on medications, or have specific conditions, check with your healthcare provider first—especially with adaptogens like ashwagandha.

What if I don’t like MCT oil?

Use coconut oil, ghee, or skip it entirely. You’ll lose some creaminess and sustained energy, but the drink still slaps.

How do I avoid clumps?

Add collagen to hot coffee first and whisk, then blend with the rest. Or use a handheld frother.

Quality collagen dissolves fast—cheap stuff, not so much.

Can I make it decaf?

Totally. Use Swiss-water processed decaf to maintain flavor and minimize chemical residues. You still get the ritual and the skin perks.

Is honey better than maple syrup here?

Flavor call.

Honey reads floral and bold; maple is smoother and caramel-like. Both offer trace minerals—choose the one that makes you smile.
