Mexican Collagen Cocoa

1 serving Prep time: 5 min Cook time: 5 min

A nourishing, tasty recipe doesn’t have to mean hours in the kitchen. This Mexican Collagen Cocoa recipe is the perfect example of using a few simple, functional ingredients for a rewarding end result.

Warm spices like cinnamon and cayenne pepper are linked to metabolic, cardiovascular, and anti-inflammatory benefits. The addition of collagen powder gets some extra protein in your day while supporting your gut, skin, and joint health all at once. You can choose to add a little maple syrup if you like, or go for a spicy unsweetened version that’s just as good.

I hope you enjoy it.

Wishing you health and happiness,
