Do you have a holiday bucket list?
You know, a list of things and experiences that you want to accomplish before the end of the holiday season?
I usually have a list of fun things that I want to do every year, yet I never usually get around to accomplishing them all. But this year…this year I made an actual list. As in I wrote my holiday bucket list down on an actual piece of paper (not typed into a document, email, or my phone) and hung it on our fridge. That way, the hubster and I have a visual reminder of what our (or I should say ‘my’) bucket list is for the holidays.
Now, my list isn’t too crazy, but it’s the little things that bring me joy this time of year. Driving around to look at Christmas lights, going to holiday magic at the zoo (which, if I’m being honest, I hate the zoo, but like the lights at Christmas time), see the Home Alone house, go to one of our favorite restaurants that we haven’t been to in forever, little things like that.
It doesn’t sound too exciting to most, but it’s something that I’m really looking forward to accomplishing this year.
Another thing that goes on my Christmas bucket list is to try as many holiday drinks that tickles my fancy. Cocktails, yes, but I’m talking more about those warm and cozy peppermint mochas, eggnog lattes, and peppermint hot chocolates.
I told you it was the little things in life that make me happy!
Which brings me to today’s warm and festive beverage, a Spiced Gingerbread Latte. Now, I love all the gingerbread things, such as cookies, cakes, and cupcakes, but lattes, that’s a different story. I often find the flavor too strong or not sweet enough. So, needless to say, gingerbread drinks always take a back seat in my book.
Until today. After discovering Vital Proteins® Collagen Creamer – Gingerbread, I just knew I had to try it. And you remember how much I love Vital Proteins® right? I always add a scoop of the Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides to my coffee every morning and it’s amazing at all of the benefits that collagen provides! From healthier skin, hair, nails, joints, and more, it’s easy to see why I love Vital Proteins®.
So when I was asked to try Vital Proteins® Collagen Creamer – Gingerbread, I literally jumped at the chance. It’s a festive and delicious way to boost your morning cup of coffee or tea. And it isn’t just rich in collagen protein, it has healthy fats from organic coconut milk.
After trying a few scoops of Vital Proteins® Collagen Creamer – Gingerbread in my morning cup of coffee, I was immediately hooked on the delicious taste. Subtle, not too strong, and so delicious. And I didn’t have to feel bad about using this creamer because it’s so good for you!
And that got me thinking…I knew I could creative gingerbread latte with this creamer that would stand up to the coffee shop kind, and be one that I enjoyed.

I know life is especially hectic around the holidays, but with 10 minutes and hardly any prep time, this Spiced Gingerbread Latte is a definite winner in my book.
The smell, the taste, the simple ingredients…you really can’t get much better than that. The Vital Proteins® Collagen Creamer – Gingerbread adds that subtle, ginger taste, while the combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of maple syrup bring out the coziness and warmth of the coffee.
Once you taste (and smell) the warmth in your mug, you’ll forget about those overpriced coffee shop lattes and stick to the homemade kind. Simple, easy, and bursting with flavor, you’ll want to cozy up to this Spiced Gingerbread Latte all season long!
