Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy)
- 1 scoop (10g) CollaVita Collagen Peptides

- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- Optional: 1 shot espresso or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
- Optional garnish: cinnamon stick, whipped cream
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes. Alternatively, heat in a microwave-safe mug for 60-90 seconds.
2. Pour the hot milk into a blender and add the CollaVita Collagen Peptides, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sweetener of choice.
3. Blend on low speed for 15-20 seconds until frothy and well combined. (Alternatively, use a handheld frother or whisk vigorously in the saucepan.)
4. If using coffee or espresso, pour it into your favorite mug first, then add the collagen-milk mixture on top.
5. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon and garnish with a cinnamon stick or dollop of whipped cream if desired.
6. Sip slowly and enjoy the comforting warmth and nourishing benefits!
