Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

Protein: I highly recommend using this marine collagen protein powder because of how easily it mixes without changing the coffee, but if you prefer a plant-based protein powder, I suggest almond protein powder. Whey protein powder is not recommended (see my post on different protein powders in hot coffee for more info).

Mushroom Powder: Instead of Chagaccino Mushroom & Adaptogen Coffee Boost Powder, experiment with other coffee boost powders for additional flavor and benefits.

Milk: Creamy oat milk can be replaced with your favorite milk alternative, such as dairy milk, unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, or unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

Protein Espresso

Add 1-2 tablespoons of collagen protein to your freshly brewed espresso.

Iced Protein Coffee

Follow the same instructions but use cold coffee instead of hot coffee. You can also add ice cubes or shake the mixture with ice for a refreshing and protein-packed iced coffee.

Chocolate Protein Coffee

Here are a few ways to make delicious chocolate protein coffee:

Add a sugar-free chocolate syrup while adding the oat milk

Use a plant-based chocolate protein powder

Add a couple of teaspoons sugar free hot chocolate powder or cocoa powder

Vanilla Protein Coffee

Vanilla protein coffee is easy to make, too:

Add a few drops of vanilla extract and your favorite sweetener

Add a teaspoon or so of sugar free vanilla syrup

Use vanilla flavored collagen protein powder

Any flavor coffee

Since the collagen doesn't alter the taste or texture of the coffee, you can add ALL the different flavors!

Storage

This healthy coffee recipe will certainly stay well in a thermos or refrigerated if you need to prepare it in advance.
