Collagen Drink Base

2 tbs grass-fed bovine collagen powder8 oz filtered water (warm, not boiling)1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Optional Enrichments

4 oz unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice (for creamy version)1 tsp MCT oil or coconut oil (for added healthy fats)1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)1 tsp ground turmeric (optional)

Method

Collagen Drink Base

Warm the water

Heat 8 oz (about 240 ml) of filtered water until warm but not boiling (approximately 120–140°F / 50–60°C). You can warm on the stovetop or in the microwave for 30–45 seconds depending on your appliance.

Dissolve collagen

Add 2 tablespoons of grass-fed bovine collagen powder to a pre-warmed mug or heatproof container. Pour about 2–3 tablespoons of the warm water first and stir to make a smooth paste with no lumps, then add the remaining warm water while stirring continuously to fully dissolve the powder.

Add acid and sweetener

Stir in 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice (this can help flavor and solubility) and 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup if you want sweetness. Taste and adjust the sweetener to taste.

Optional spice

If desired, add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and whisk briefly to combine. Cinnamon pairs well with lemon and honey and adds warming flavor.

Optional Enrichments

Make creamy (optional)

For a creamier beverage, warm 4 oz of unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice) separately until steaming but not boiling, then add it to the dissolved collagen mixture and stir until homogenous.

Add fats or flavor extracts (optional)

If using, stir in 1 teaspoon MCT oil or coconut oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. If adding turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefit, whisk in 1 teaspoon ground turmeric and a pinch of black pepper to aid absorption.

Blend for froth (optional)

For a frothy texture, transfer the prepared mixture to a small blender or use an immersion frother and blend 10–20 seconds until lightly aerated. Pour back into the mug and enjoy.
