Tired Of Your Same Coffee Routine? Try This Blood-Sugar-Supporting Tweak

Coffee can certainly provide the motivation to get up in the morning. But consuming it first thing before breakfast isn't always easy on the stomach. Luckily, there's one simple tweak that can bulk up your coffee and make it easier on your blood sugar than traditional coffee add-ons.

When it comes to blood-sugar-balancing foods, experts will often name-drop three key nutrients: protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

Now, of course, coffee isn't breakfast—you should still have a hearty morning meal to keep your energy levels on par—but there is something to be said for making your cup of joe more blood-sugar-friendly.

Enter, collagen: While collagen is technically not a complete protein (as it's missing tryptophan, one of the nine essential amino acids), it still delivers close to 20 unique amino acids—so it's a pretty great protein source.

In fact, a comprehensive research review found that you can meet your daily amino acid needs if 36% of your protein intake1 consists of collagen peptides.

Not to mention, a scoop of thoughtfully formulated collagen makes your coffee deliciously creamy—you can pour the mixture into a blender or use a handheld milk frother for extra smoothness.

And if you're partial to sweeter drinks, mbg's chocolate beauty & gut collagen+ comes naturally flavored and sweetened with premium organic cocoa powder and organic monk fruit, so it's rich and decadent without being too saccharine (or spiking your blood sugar levels). 

The recipe is simple: Just add a scoop of the powder into your morning coffee and stir well until it disperses completely.

Then if you'd like to make your beverage even more satiating, you can blend it up with a spoonful of MCT oil (or grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, etc.) for a heap of healthy fats.

If you'd like to level up your coffee routine, a scoop of collagen is an easy way to add some flair—especially if you have a high-quality chocolate option, like mbg's robust formula.
