Energy-Boosting Collagen Coffee Recipe

An energy-boosting, protein-packed collagen coffee recipe that is low in calories with delicious mocha flavors and a naturally sweet taste.

It is ready in 5 minutes, and you can make it with your regular morning cup of joe or cold brew coffee.

A delicious and great way to start your day, or enjoy it as a post-workout drink.

This is my favorite morning coffee drink. It's like a mocha smoothie but much healthier and fortified with collagen powder.

Also, check out my chocolate pineapple collagen smoothie with a more fruity element to switch things up.

Recipe Feature

• This delicious drink comes together with only 5 ingredients.
• You can make it with hot coffee of choice or iced coffee.
• It's super creamy, filling, and satisfying.
• It contains healthy collagen supplements.
• Only natural sweeteners are added and optional.
• And it's a healthy way to start your day.

Ingredients & notes

You only need 5 ingredients to make this lovely collagen latte.

COFFEE: Use your favorite cup of coffee or make it with any leftover cold brew.

COLLAGEN POWDER: Great options are unflavored collagen peptides from either Vital Proteins or grass-fed collagen peptides from Garden of Life. They add essential amino acids and a lovely creaminess.

CACAO POWDER: You can also use unsweetened cocoa powder. Dark chocolate flavors combined with the rest of the ingredients create a lovely mocha flavor.

DATES: Use one or two based on preference to add a subtle sweetness.

ALMOND MILK: I prefer unsweetened almond milk. But any other plant milk will do. Oat milk or cashew milk are great alternative options. If you have no dietary issues with dairy products, then go for regular milk, if preferred.

Note: Dates are less sugary than maple syrup or other sweeteners. Plus, they are high in fiber and antioxidants and help increase energy levels. It's my favorite way to sweeten this collagen coffee recipe.

How to make this collagen smoothie

See the full recipe with measurements in the recipe card.

Brew your favorite coffee or use a cold brew. If using hot liquids, pour it first into a cup, releasing any hot steam and allowing its temperature to come down.

Gather the rest of the ingredients and place everything in the blender.

Blend until smooth, frothy, and creamy. Ensure no bits of dates are left.

Serve and enjoy!

Variations

• Add a pinch of ground cinnamon or vanilla extract to change the flavors.
• Try adding fresh mint leaves (2- 4 small leaves) to the blender to create a coffee chocolate mint smoothie with collagen protein. It's delicious.
• Or add extra healthy fats to the blender. A tablespoon of coconut oil or a tad of grass-fed ghee or grass-fed butter, if dairy is not an issue, are quality fats that make this collagen coffee recipe more like butter coffee.

Storage

Either enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days. It tastes delicious super cold too, and refreshing during warm summer months.

This coffee date smoothie with collagen supplementation is one of my favorite things to make in the morning to give me a boost of energy.

The best part, it's comforting, delicious, and the easiest way to start your day! Enjoy!
