Tips for Mixing Collagen into Hot & Cold Liquids

By

Hey, hey!

So, I receive a lot of questions about the collagen (and sometimes protein powder) that I add to my daily glass of iced coffee. It’s a great (and easy!) way to add some extra protein to my diet and collagen has SO MANY awesome health benefits!

Can collagen mix with coffee?

How much collagen do you add to coffee? 

How do you add collagen to coffee? 

These are all great questions, so let me answer them for you! 🙂

Yes, you can absolutely mix collagen with coffee – both hot and cold coffee and other liquids. I typically add half to one full scoop (10g) of collagen, but you could totally add more/less depending on your personal preferences. I’ll often mix a scoop of collagen AND a scoop of protein powder into my iced coffee, and they mix right in, no problem. Here’s how I do it…

Here’s a quick tutorial:

  1. Grab a shaker bottle
  2. Pour in some iced coffee
  3. Add a scoop of collagen
  4. Pour in more iced coffee and/or milk/cream
  5. Shake!

No shaker? Just mix the collagen with a little warm water until fully blended and THEN add your iced coffee.

This morning, I had the opportunity to work out at KFIT – possibly my last workout at the old location!

KFIT is moving to a new location (right near the Derby Street Shoppes in Hingham) in just a few weeks. I got to see the new space this morning, and it’s going to be INCREDIBLE!!! I’ll keep you guys in the loop about the grand opening!

After a quick shower, I drank a protein shake and snacked on some carrot sticks on my way to the current unofficial DTFN office to get some work done for the day.

Now, it’s time for lots-o-work! And, unrelated, I can’t wait to see my boys tonight for our Valentine’s Day celebration!

Question of the Day

Have you hopped on the collagen trend?

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
