This is one of the simplest ways to boost protein intake without adding volume—ideal when appetite is low. Adding collagen to black coffee keeps the ritual intact while supporting connective tissue, muscle maintenance, and satiety on a semaglutide-friendly plan.

Ingredients: (serves 1)

  • 1 cup black coffee (freshly brewed, hot)

  • 1 scoop / measure collagen peptides (unflavored, ideally grass-fed)

Instructions:
  1. Brew your coffee as usual.

  2. Add the collagen peptides directly to the hot coffee.

  3. Stir well (or use a milk frother) until fully dissolved.

  4. Drink warm. No sweeteners needed.

Wellness Tip:

Collagen is rich in glycine and proline - amino acids that support skin, joints, tendons, and gut lining. On GLP-1 medications, starting the day with a liquid protein boost can help preserve lean mass and reduce the chance of skipping protein early in the day. For best absorption, pair collagen regularly with vitamin C later in the day (from citrus, berries, or greens).
