In the mood for a refreshing drink that will boost your energy and nourish your skin from the inside out? Treat yourself to an Iced Collagen Coffee or Collagen Latte.
I first discovered this refreshing coffee drink a few years ago on a trip to the Greek islands. I’m not a coffee drinker but I just couldn’t resist the local ‘frappé’, so creamy and delightful, especially after a good swim on a hot day at the beach. :)
You can have your iced coffee ‘black’ or turn it into a latte with some (plant-based) milk and a spoonful of (keto) sweetener if desired.
I also get a lot of questions about the influence of coffee on hormone balance. Pure caffeine can cause our stress hormones to go out of balance, especially with women. That instant ‘high’ but also the ‘low’ after drinking coffee, it can be ‘neutralized’ by adding two things to your coffee: collagen (easy-to-absorb protein) and MCT oil from coconut (healthy fats).
Those two will help to keep your hormones in balance ánd they also help to make the benefits of coffee (increased focus & energy) last longer. That way, you need less coffee to get the same effect.

I like to use Physalis collagen coffee to make iced coffee and frappé. It contains instant coffee mixed with easy-to-absorb marine collagen and MCT powder made from coconut. This way, you get three-in-one. Easy and quick!
Marine collagen helps to strengthen your bones, teeth, and skin. It is said to help reduce wrinkle depth and size and improve skin elasticity. It also helps to absorb calcium and it keeps you satisfied for longer, reducing sugar cravings and the need to snack.
Do you like to exercise or are you sensitive to rheumatoid arthritis? Marine collagen also helps to support healthy joints thanks to its anti-inflammatory effect.
Enjoy your hormone friendly coffee, black ‘on the rocks’ or as a creamy latte. ;-)
You can also try a coffee free alternative by using a bag of pure collagen boost with a spoonful of matcha.
Cheers!
