How to take collagen in your coffee
The order that keeps it smooth, hot or iced, and the small habits that make one scoop a day stick.
Collagen peptides are made to vanish. They have no taste worth mentioning and dissolve in hot or cold drinks, so the easiest place for them is the cup you already make every morning.
Hot coffee
- Coffee first. Pour the coffee, then add the powder. Powder at the bottom of a dry mug can stick.
- One scoop, then stir. Ten seconds with a spoon is enough. A milk frother makes it even quicker.
- Milk last. Add milk or creamer after the powder has dissolved.
Iced coffee and cold drinks
Collagen peptides dissolve in cold drinks too, just a little slower. Stir the powder into a splash of the coffee first, then add ice and the rest. A shaker or a jar with a lid works well for smoothies and protein shakes.
Not a coffee drinker
Tea, juice, oatmeal, yogurt and soup all work. It does not set like gelatin, so it does not change the texture.
Make it a habit
- Keep the tub next to the coffee maker, not in the cupboard.
- Use the same scoop every day, so you never have to think about the amount.
- Reorder when you open the last tub, so there is no gap.
