Can I prepare and store this protein coffee in advance?

I always prefer to make the protein coffee fresh; the collagen peptides dissolve best in a warm drink, and it tastes best when you drink it immediately.

Do collagen peptides change the taste of my coffee?

No, that's the beauty of it. You won't taste unflavored collagen peptides, your coffee will taste just as you're used to.

Can I also use the collagen peptides in cold drinks?

Absolutely, I also mix collagen peptides with lemon water and coconut water, it dissolves well even in cold water.

How many collagen peptides should I use per cup?

I use 1 to 2 tablespoons per cup myself, but also check the recommended dosage on your product's packaging.

Can I also make this protein coffee vegan?

Yes, then opt for an unflavored plant-based protein powder instead of classic collagen peptides, as those are animal-based.

Easy

Every morning I start my day with my proteins, and I prefer to do it as simply as possible. As someone over fifty, I find it really important to get enough protein early in the day, and this protein coffee is my favorite way to do that. I use unflavored collagen peptides, because you can literally mix them into anything: hot coffee, tea, lemon water, coconut water... On a normal day, I keep it simple, but if I feel like making it a little easier for myself, I turn it into a cappuccino with some extra frothed milk. Enjoyable, but with added protein.

Make it veggie!

This recipe is already vegetarian. Please note: classic collagen peptides are animal-derived (usually from beef or fish), so for a vegan alternative, it's best to choose an unflavored plant-based protein powder.

Prepare your coffee as you usually drink it: just a cup of coffee, or an espresso as a base for a cappuccino.

Add the collagen peptides to the warm coffee.

Stir well until the peptides are completely dissolved; they are tasteless, so you won't notice them.

Do you want to make a bit more of your moment? Froth some milk and turn it into a cappuccino with extra milk foam.

Drink immediately, preferably as the first moment of your day.

Tips

I deliberately use unflavored collagen peptides so I can mix them into anything: coffee, tea, lemon water, or coconut water, always without altering the taste.
Add the peptides to a warm, but not boiling, liquid for best dissolution.
Not a coffee drinker? This works just as well in tea, lemon water, or coconut water.
