How to Make an Instant Coffee Collagen Shake
Looking for a new way to enjoy your coffee? The latest hot trend is collagen coffee. Learn how to make your own.
Collagen, derived from the Greek word for glue is the latest trend that has been scraping the nation. Collagen is a structural protein that is found in different connective tissues of mammals’ bodies such as skin, ligaments, and tendons. People all over are adding collagen powder to their most loved smoothies, shakes, and even some foods.
So what does it mean in terms of coffee? Collagen coffee is simply the mixing of collagen with coffee. It can be added to both brewed coffee and instant coffee as it can be purchased in a powder form. Unflavored collagen generally does not change the taste of the coffee much. If collagen is already part of your routine, try adding it to our premium instant coffee as you jump start your day. You can read more about why people add collagen to coffee in our earlier post.
Collagen Peptides
So what are collagen peptides anyway? Collagen peptides, also known as collagen hydrolysate and hydrolyzed collagen, are the result when molecular bonds and collagen strands break down. When the molecules are broken down it reduces the overall weight of the individualized peptides.
WHY IS COLLAGEN SO POPULAR?
Collagen supplements are often marketed for hair, skin and joints, and fans say that’s why they take it. Those are the supplement brands’ claims, not ours, so if you’re wondering whether collagen is right for you, ask your doctor.
