Coconut Collagen Latte

Updated: Jan 19, 2019


The perfect mix of foam, creaminess, and sweetness.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups brewed coffee

1 tsp coconut oil

1/4 tsp maple extract

Why all of these ingredients?

  • Coconut almond milk, coconut oil, and coconut butter:

  • Fats from coconut are anti-inflammatory, metabolism boosting (but not too much!), and beneficial for the brain.

  • I like the coconut almond milk for flavor and its fatty acid profile, but you could use any kind of milk!

  • Coconut oil adds healthy fats, creaminess, and frothiness.

  • Coconut butter adds healthy fats, some fiber not present in coconut oil, and some sweetness.

  • Maca powder:

  • Hormone balance and boosting energy.

  • Adds a slightly different flavor. Some people don't like the taste of maca, but I personally love it.

  • Collagen peptides:

  • Collagen, which is a type of protein used in the body, has many benefits.

  • Supplemental collagen is primarily used to help repair and grow our intestinal lining, skin, hair, nails, and joints.

  • Our bodies do make collagen (which is why nutrients like Vitamin C are important--Vitamin C is a key component in collagen production), but some find it beneficial to supplement as well.

  • Adds protein, creaminess, and frothiness to the latte.

Instructions:

1. Place all ingredients in a blender.

2. Blend on high until well-combined and foamy.

3. Pour into your favorite mug.

4. Enjoy this cozy cup!
