Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz brewed coffee
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop collagen protein powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Brew a fresh cup of coffee, ensuring it's hot and strong. You can use your preferred brewing method, such as a drip machine, French press, or pour-over.
In a small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat. Do not let it boil, but ensure it becomes warm to the touch.
Once the almond milk is warmed, add the collagen protein powder, and stir until completely dissolved. This might take a minute or two for the powder to integrate smoothly.
To a blender, add the brewed coffee, almond milk mixture, coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and honey.
Carefully blend the ingredients on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture becomes creamy and frothy. Be cautious of the hot liquid to avoid spills.
Taste your Paleo Protein Coffee and adjust sweetness, if desired, by adding more honey.
Pour the frothy coffee into a large mug and serve immediately. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
Enjoy this nourishing and invigorating cup of Paleo Protein Coffee to kickstart your day.
