Hi everyone!

It has been one of those weeks where I’ve been in dire need of caffeine. I’ve been trying to limit my coffee intake, so I decided to switch things up for a bit.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Starbucks’ Iced Green Tea Latte (w/ soy milk), but I treat it as an indulgence – more than an everyday type thing.

Plus, I’ve been meaning to save money. I mean, hello. Grad student life over here.

What better way to be healthier AND richer than to replicate a healthier version of that using Vital Proteins’ Matcha Collagen!

(NOT SPONSORED, I JUST LOVE THEM!)

With the help of social media influencers all around, I have been reading up on Vital Proteins, and it very much aligns with what I’ve been looking for. Since I’ve been looking into incorporating more collagen in my life, I found this to be the perfect combo.

So why collagen?

According to Vital Proteins, collagen helps to:

• Enhance Hair, Skin & Nails: Stir peptides into your favorite drink to rescue thinning hair, dull skin and brittle nails.
• Improve Digestion: Naturally occurring amino acids in collagen peptides provide a strong line of defense for your gut.
• Boost Joint Health: Help improve joint health and bring more comfort to your next 5K, yoga class or walk around the block.

Plus, the fact that it’s really easy to incorporate collagen just by blending or simply adding it to your regular drink makes it so much easier.

Here is my SUPER EASY + QUICK + DELICIOUS recipe for anyone on the go!!

You’ll need:

Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen

Almond Milk

Almond or Coconut Butter

1. Heat a cup and a half of almond milk on the stove. I like it to reach a heat just right below boiling.
2. Then, pour the heated milk into my blender, add one scoop of matcha, plus ½ a tbsp of almond butter (coconut flavored!!)
3. Blend!
4. ENJOY!!

The combo of matcha and collagen adds to the thickness and consistency of my matcha latte, which is how I like it. You can do it however you like your lattes, but for my first-time matcha latte, I can honestly say it’s delicious. Next up, maybe matcha pancakes? Who wants to see me try?! LOL.
