Description
A mocha-inspired coffee drink with just 95 calories, enriched with collagen, cinnamon, cocoa, and MCT oil to promote sustained energy and longer-lasting fullness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (240 ml) freshly brewed medium-roast coffee
- 1 scoop (≈10 g) unflavored collagen peptides
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) unsweetened almond milk
- ½ tsp 100 % cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tsp MCT oil (or virgin coconut oil)
- 2 drops liquid monk-fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1 Pinch of mineral sea salt
Instructions
- Brew coffee: Make a strong 8-oz cup (about 18 g coffee to 240 ml water).
- Dissolve protein: While coffee is hot, add collagen peptides and froth/whisk until completely smooth.
- Prepare milk mix: In a separate cup combine almond milk, cocoa, cinnamon, monk-fruit, and sea salt; froth 20 seconds until lightly foamy.
- Emulsify fat: Drizzle MCT oil slowly into the frothing milk so it blends without floating.
- Assemble latte: Pour the flavored milk over the collagen coffee, give one gentle stir, dust with an extra pinch of cinnamon if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Iced Version: Brew coffee double strength, chill, then blend all ingredients with ½ cup ice.
- Protein Swap: Use 10 g plain whey or 12 g pea protein for a dairy-free option.
- Sweetener Options: Replace monk-fruit with stevia drops or 1 tsp erythritol granules.
- Flavor Variations: Add 2 drops vanilla extract for a vanilla-macadamia twist, or a pinch of cayenne for a spicy mocha kick.
