How do you make my beverage deliciously creamy without sacrificing the beloved coffee flavor?
How to make your coffee impossibly creamy
It only takes three ingredients: cashews, dates, and collagen powder. By blending up those soaked cashews, you're essentially creating plant-based milk and instead of pouring it over your beverage, you're combining it with your coffee in one simple step. The dates also add a touch of sweetness to the drink without overpowering it completely, so the coffee flavor still shines through. The real kicker here is the collagen peptides. There's something about blending up a high-quality powder that makes the drink oh-so-creamy, and it ties the whole recipe together.
Experiential benefits aside, collagen is also associated with plenty of beauty perks, like skin elasticity and hydration and strong hair and nails.
How to replicate this swoon-worthy recipe below
Ingredients
¼ cup cashews
2 pitted dates
1 scoop of any collagen of your choice
1 cup brewed coffee, hot or cold
How to
Place cashews and dates in a blender. Pour coffee on top, followed by a scoop of collagen powder.
Stir to combine, then let the mixture soak for around 10 minutes to soften.
After those 10 minutes, blend the mixture until smooth.
Pour into a cup and enjoy!
You can enjoy this beverage hot or iced, but keep in mind that it will take around 10 minutes to soak the cashews and dates until they're soft. So if you do prefer hot beverages, you might want to reheat the coffee after you blend.
The takeaway
If you adore creamy confections but don't want to sacrifice the natural coffee flavor, this recipe makes it easy to have the best of both worlds—a decadent yet simple sip.
