Start your morning with a coffee that provides a boost that goes beyond caffeine. By combining functional ingredients like collagen, honey, and mushrooms, you can elevate your coffee into a powerhouse drink that supports energy, focus, and overall wellness. Here’s how FreshCap brand expert Emmaline Rasmussen does it.
Adding collagen to coffee not only gives your morning drink a protein boost but can also help alleviate common digestive discomforts sometimes associated with coffee. A touch of honey offers additional benefits, supporting immunity, delivering antimicrobial properties, and providing valuable micronutrients. I also love traveling with FreshCap’s Ultimate Mushroom Complex, since it covers all the essentials in one scoop: energy, focus, immunity, and stress support.
Collagen and milk also help provide a steady energy release, reducing the jittery spike-and-crash effect that coffee alone can cause. This is my favorite way to supercharge my morning coffee with functional benefits, especially while on the road.
