If you want to give your coffee some extra nutritional value via protein, consider mixing in collagen, beef gelatin, and protein powder into your next morning cup.

Beef gelatin adds about 9 grams per tablespoon of pure protein with amino acids like glycine, hydroxyproline,
and proline, which can help with
stiff joints and digestive issues.

Typically, beef gelatin is a flavorless powder that thickens recipes, so adding it to coffee would provide a silky nutritional boost without altering the flavor.

Collagen also brings in some extra body power, as a 14-gram serving carries around 12 grams of protein. It can strengthen bones and improve joint, skin, nail, and hair health.

A scoop of protein powder will also up the protein content, as one scoop of powder will deliver between 20
to 30 grams of protein and can
come in many delicious flavors.
