There was a time when pimping your coffee was the height of cool.
Photographed by Norman Jean Roy,Vogue, December 2011
Thriving, largely unregulated, and backed by communities absorbed by fluorescent yellow turmeric lattes andbutter-laden espressos.
It was a confusing, expensive time.
It is, of course,collagen.
For years now, Ive stirred collagen into my morning drink.
Whether its coffee,matcha, or a morning smoothie, the powder gets added.
What does collagen coffee do?
Besides curbing the post-caffeine jitters, mixing collagen into your coffee has a myriad of benefits.
I often recommend it to clients who want to focus on healthy skin during perimenopause and menopause.
This is when estrogen (the hormone responsible for skin elasticity and suppleness) naturally declines.
It can also help with joint and muscle pains.
Can you taste the collagen in coffee?
No.Collagen(when unflavored) has no taste.
There are flavored options, too, if that’s more your vibe.
If anything, it might be worth keeping textural issues in mind.
I usea battery-powered frotherlike this one to get mine fully mixed.
Does collagen count as protein?
Shand says there are a couple of words to look out for.
With marine collagen, look for pure hydrolyzed collagen thats sustainably caught.
