Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 oz Hot Coffee - Your favorite roast, freshly brewed.
  • 1-2 scoops Unflavored Collagen Peptides - I use bovine or marine collagen.
  • 1-2 tbsp Milk - Oat, almond, or half-and-half. Add more if you like it creamier.

Optional

  • Sweetener - maple syrup or honey
  • Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp MCT Oil - or
  • 1 tsp Grass-Fed Butter - to "Power-Up"
  • Cocoa Powder - a shake to garnish

Instructions
 

Method 1: The "Ultra-Creamy" Blender Version

  • This method emulsifies the fats and proteins, creating a thick, stable foam that feels like a latte.
  • Pour your hot coffee into a high-speed blender.
  • Add the collagen, milk, and any optional sweetener, flavoring or power-ups.
  • Secure the lid and blend on high for around 15 seconds.
  • Pour into your favorite mug and watch the thick foam rise to the top.
  • Garnish with a shake of cocoa power if you wish.

Method 2: The "20-Second" Handheld Frother Version

  • The perfect everyday shortcut that uses a simple handheld whisk/wand.
  • Pour your hot coffee into a mug, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  • Add the collagen peptides and any of the optional extras and stir briefly with a spoon.
  • Pour in your milk. Insert the handheld frother at a slight angle and turn it on. Froth for 20 seconds until a velvety micro-foam forms.
  • Remove the frother and garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Enjoy your instant protein latte.
