12 Hot Collagen Drinks to Warm Up Your Winter
December 04, 2023
Long gone are the days of the cooling collagen popsicles and refreshing lemonade of summer. As we hunker down for days of winter chill, snow, and ice in many places, it's natural to crave hot drinks that warm your body and soothe your soul. From cozy cocoa to flavorful hot teas and coffee lattes, winter drinks bring big flavor along with a welcome warmth that keeps your body feeling toasty all season long.
Even if the weather outside is frightful, we’ve got lots of decadent and delightful drinks to fire up your imagination and warm up your body temperature. Made with our delicious collagen drink mixes and creamers for hair, skin & nail support in every scoop, these hot drink recipes will help you feel merry & bright even when the skies outside are cloudy and grey.
Cozy Cocoa
Whipped Hot Cocoa
Whether you call it "cocoa" or "hot chocolate," there's a reason everyone looks forward to this seasonal treat. Made with our mouthwatering Chocolate Coconut Collagen, heavy cream, almond milk, and cocoa powder, this close cousin to Dalgona coffee has a fluffy whipped topping and keto mini marshmallows that feel like a true winter treat.
Mexican Hot Chocolate
If you want to get your blood pumping on a cold day, you can't beat the spicy kick of Mexican hot chocolate. Crafted with our Chocolate Collagen and whichever milk floats your hot chocolate boat, this easy DIY recipe is spiked with warming cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne for those times when you need a little extra pep in your step.
Hot Chocolate Bombs
If you’re a fan of those trendy chocolate marshmallow-filled spheres that melt down into hot milk or water to create delicious cocoa, you’ll love this DIY version. You’ll need sphere molds to make this one work, but it’s well worth it to control the amount of sweetener you add. Plus, these make delicious homemade gifts!
Coffee Break
Caramel Macchiato
If you’re a lover of the classed-up coffee milkshake popular at nationwide brew chains but don't feel great about all the added sugar, you’re in for a treat. Our hot take on this classic coffee drink uses Swerve, our Vanilla Coconut Collagen, and flavored no-dairy creamer to give you the same rich, silky taste and creamy texture as your typical macchiato, with just 201 calories per serving!
Pumpkin Spice Collagen Latte
PSL girlies, rejoice! We remade your fall and winter fave into a coffee drink you could sip every day without a shred of regret. Our version is plenty sweet without being cloying, thanks to our Vanilla Collagen made with coconut milk powder and monk fruit extract.
Snickerdoodle Caramel Coffee
Love sugar and spice and everything nice? This mouthwatering creation uses our seasonal Snickerdoodle Collagen to infuse a delicious, sweet-spiced flavor into your favorite coffee. Use a keto caramel sauce or make your own using Swerve and the whole thing is low-carb, too!
Hazelnut Latte
Two ingredients and two minutes: What more (or rather, what less effort) could you ask for? This savory latte made with Primal Kitchen Hazelnut Coffee Creamer is always in season, but we especially love it when the leaves are changing or a sparkling blanket of snow is on the ground.
Tea Time
2-Minute Chai Latte
Our keto-friendly version of the classic chai latte is closer to the Indian version of chai than your typical store-bought chai drink. The fragrant mix of spices feels like the essence of holidays captured in a warm mug, and the delicious taste of our Chai Tea Collagen Keto Latte rounds out the flavors rather than cloaking your tongue in sugary sweetness.
2-Ingredient Matcha Collagen Keto Latte
This traditional Japanese beverage, whisked together with water until frothy, can be a bit too earthy in flavor for some people when sipped straight up. Our version uses our Matcha Collagen Keto Latte drink mix, which combines monk fruit and vanilla extracts to make this signature green tea more palatable.
Dirty Chai Latte
We love a good chai latte, but sometimes you just need something a little more… eye-opening. Cue this dirty chai latte, a delightfully dark but not-so-sinful hybrid of frothy Chai Tea Collagen and rich espresso powder made with no-dairy ingredients so everyone can enjoy a delicious hot cuppa.
More Sips for the Season
Vanilla Coconut Collagen Creamer
If you want to add a little extra flavor to your regular morning brew, this easy DIY creamer is a smart way to do it. Made with one scoop of Unflavored Collagen Peptides and one of Vanilla Coconut Collagen, our recipe is made without added sugars or high fructose corn syrup so you can fancy-up your java without regret.
Chicken Bone Broth
We had to add one savory item in here to balance out the sweetness! Making your own bone broth at home isn’t as intimidating as it might sound. All you need is a chicken, some aromatic vegetables and herbs, salt, water, and an Instant Pot to make the process faster. Stir in some unflavored collagen after the bone broth is ready, and sip the benefits.
