It’s coffee time!
Oh, who am I kidding…any time is coffee time, right?
If you’ve been hanging around here long enough, then you probably know that I love my coffee.
Yep, we’re pretty much inseparable. From the moment I wake up, I start thinking of that precious cup of joe. What kind of coffee will I have, should I use a flavored creamer, are five cups too much? Ok, that last question isn’t usually part of my thought process, but, the rest are!
Are you the same way? Do you eagerly look forward to your morning cup of coffee or tea to get you going in the mornings?
I’ve mentioned this before (and shared numerous times on Insta-stories via Instagram), but my favorite thing to add to my coffee is a scoop or two of Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides. I do this practically every morning, and have so for over a year. It’s an unflavored protein powder that is extremely beneficial to the body. It helps to improve your skin, hair, nails, joints, ligaments, and tendons.
In fact, I have several recipes that I’ve shared before featuring Vital Proteins®. Remember these Red Velvet Scones, those Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups, and these Pumpkin Pie Pops? Yep, all made with my favorite collagen peptides. It’s so easy to sprinkle a little into practically anything!
And when Vital Proteins® reached out to work together again this year, I practically jumped at the chance. I only work and share brands that I use, trust, and love, and Vital Proteins® is one of them.
After discovering Vital Proteins® Collagen Creamer – Vanilla, I knew that my coffee was going to get even better. It has healthy fats from organic coconut milk, plus 10 grams of collagen peptides and is free of dairy, soy, carrageenan, gluten, artificial sweeteners, and added sugars. It’s also paleo and Whole30 friendly, too!
I also knew that a tasty homemade latte was calling my name. I mean, coffee…need I say more?

In a small saucepan, heat some milk until warmed through. Using an immersion blender, hand mixer or frother, froth the milk. Add the foam to the brewed coffee and enjoy! See how easy it is?
