    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.

    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.

    Almond milk, coffee, cacao powder, collagen powder, and a date displayed on a table.

    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.

    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!

    Equipment

    • 1 Blender
    • 1 coffee maker of your choice
    Servings 2 serving (3 cups total)

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup coffee freshly brewed and a bit cooled at room temperature (219 ml) or cold brew.
    • 1 tablespoon organic cocoa or cacao Powder unsweetened (5 grams)
    • 2 tablespoons collagen powder 0.35 ounces or 10 grams
    • ½ cup almond milk or milk of your choice 120 grams
    • 1 pitted date or 2 if you prefer a naturally sweeter taste.

    Instructions

    • If using freshly brewed coffee instead of a cold brew, pour the hot coffee into a cup, releasing any hot steam. Let it sit until its temperature has come down and it's no longer hot, just warm or luke warm.
    • Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
    • Blend everything until frothy and smooth. Make sure any dates are completely pulverized and integrated into the drink.
    • Enjoy immediately!

    Notes

    Storage: Store any leftovers in a mason jar with a lid or an airtight container in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. Give it a good stir again before consumption.
     
    Coffee: You can use a cup of freshly brewed coffee and let it cool down until no longer hot (warm or lukewarm), or use leftover cold brew coffee.
     
    Collagen: I use unflavored collagen peptides for this recipe from either Vital Proteins or grass-fed collagen peptides from Garden of Life, my favorites.
     
    Healthy Mocha Smoothie: The dates combined with nutty almond milk, dark chocolate flavors from cacao powder, and coffee gives this smoothie a delicious mocha taste. Collagen powder in this smoothie will make it extra creamy as well.
