☕ Pro-Metabolic Collagen Latte
This creamy, energizing latte is more than just coffee—it’s a liquid mini-meal designed to nourish your thyroid, stabilize blood sugar, and support glowing skin and hair. The mix of caffeine, protein, sugar, and minerals keeps your metabolism humming instead of crashing. Perfect for early mornings or pre-workout when you want warmth, fuel, and focus in one cup.
🥛 Ingredients
1 cup strong organic coffee or 2 shots espresso (single-origin, mold-tested brands like Lifeboost or Death Wish)
1 cup foamed or warm skim milk
1–2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
Dash mineral-rich sea salt
2 tbsp collagen powder (such as Vital Proteins)
💪 Directions
Brew your coffee or espresso.
Warm or froth your milk until steamy and velvety.
Stir in collagen, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until fully dissolved.
Pour milk over coffee, give it a swirl, and sip your metabolism-boosting magic.

Collagen: Supports gut lining, joints, hair, skin, and nails while delivering glycine for nervous system calm.
