Recipe: Collagen Coffee

We don’t know about you, but as soon as we wake up every morning, we’re headed straight to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. One of our favorite coffee concoctions right now is a little something a few of our team members started whipping up to get their mornings started — and trust us, we tried it and are obsessed. It’s packed with healthy ingredients (we’re on a serious collagen powder kick), a dash of sweetness, and an entire inch of froth. You might be asking, WTF is collagen powder? It’s said to improve skin, nails, hair and joints — and we swear, it’s making a difference for us. This is truly the perfect recipe for those mornings when you’re craving a little more luxurious, and best of all, it’s crazy easy to make. Give it a whirl and leave a comment if you make a cup of this over the weekend. TGIF!

Collagen Coffee

Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 10 mins

Serve: 1

INGREDIENTS:

Coffee beans

1 scoop of collagen powder

1 dash of almond milk

1 tsp of ghee or coconut oil

A dash of stevia or honey

Instruction:

Put the whole beans in a grinder and blend. It’s totally acceptable to use pre-ground beans, we just prefer grinding them ourselves for a super fresh taste. Boil water.
Put a coffee filter in the dripper, and place the dripper over a mug.
Scoop ~2 tbsp of the ground coffee into the filter and slowly pour water over the grounds. Pour just enough water to fill your mug. We like to add a dash of almond milk straight into the coffee at this step!
Combine collagen powder, honey, milk (if not already added), ghee or coconut oil, and coffee in blender. Cover and blend on medium speed for 15 seconds.
Pour blended coffee into mug. Add a dash of cinnamon on top (optional) and enjoy!

Recipe notes:

It’s okay if you don’t have a Vitamix or high-speed blender, you can pretty much achieve the same texture from a handheld frother. Also, the amount of almond milk and sweetner is completely up to you!
