I’ve never been a coffee drinker. I tasted black coffee once when I was younger (back when I knew nothing about nutrition and had a big sweet tooth). It was so bitter. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to consume coffee, and I told myself I would never drink coffee again.

Fast forward to my forties, and I started to enjoy an occasional coffee drink. The flavored kind, of course.

That was a fun, once-in-a-while treat…until it wasn’t. The last few times I drank coffee it really made my histamine intolerance flare. I felt awful. So, no more coffee for me.

It’s OK. Like I said, I was never a coffee drinker anyway.

Naked Collagen Creamer

So, why would I want to try a collagen creamer?

One – because creamer isn’t just for coffee.

Two – because I still love hot drinks with flavor!

I’ve been drinking salted hot chocolate with collagen (healing hot cocoa as I call it) daily for over ten years now as part of my hydration strategy. I have yet to find anything that works as well.

But lately I’ve been craving some different flavors. I’ve tried things like matcha, moringa, and maca. They aren’t bad…but they don’t taste that great.

So, when I came across Naked Nutrition collagen creamers I knew I had to give them a try!

Naked collagen creamers come in three flavors – chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. I’ve been doing the chocolate thing for a long time, so I went straight for vanilla and caramel.

How to Easily Add Protein to Your Day

I’m not giving up on my hot chocolate. I’m just elevating it to a new level.

I tried both caramel hot cocoa and vanilla hot cocoa. They are both delicious! It just depends what mood you are in.

Honestly, it tastes like a fancy coffee house drink, but without the high price tag, excess sugar, and toxins. Instead, you get hydration and a protein boost. That’s a drink you can feel good about!

Collagen creamer is a great way to squeeze in a little extra protein if you are working on building muscle. One scoop contains 9 grams of protein from European pasture-raised cows. That’s my favorite thing about collagen.

How to Use Collagen Creamer

If you like to add a little flavor to your coffee, Naked collagen creamer is the perfect solution. But you can enjoy collagen creamer even if you wouldn’t touch coffee with a ten-foot pole. In fact, I’m pretty sure my kids like the creamers more than I do. They each had to try some as soon as it arrived.

Naked Nutrition collagen creamers can be added to smoothies, tea, muffins, oatmeal, or yogurt. We’ve enjoyed the vanilla creamer in banana muffins. My oldest likes to add collagen creamer to protein oats or Greek yogurt. And my younger kids love it mixed into raw milk. Just blend it with a milk frother or blender and let it sit for a few minutes to fully absorb the collagen.

I do have to “warn” you that the flavor intensifies over time. So, start with a small amount. You can gradually increase based on your taste preferences. But a little goes a long way.

All of these are great strategies for getting picky eaters to consume more protein. Plus, it’s just plain fun! For kids, you can adjust the quantity to a fourth to a half scoop.

Benefits of Collagen

Naked Nutrition collagen creamers contain high quality amino acids in addition to a small amount of healthy fat from MCT oil. In addition, each serving contains 0 grams of sugar!

I also love that it is made in the USA and free of GMOs, soy, gluten, and dairy! Which means my dairy-free kiddo can even enjoy it.

Most people using collagen see improvements in their hair, skin, nails, and joints. I know I have.

In general, adding collagen to drinks, oatmeal, or yogurt is a great way to boost protein and give your body essential amino acids.

As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner I do have to mention that collagen is a supplement (a food-based supplement with no additives – my favorite kind!). So, make sure you start with a small amount and gradually work up to the dose that works for your body.

My body is quite sensitive to new products, so I started with a quarter scoop. It still provided plenty of flavor and a little extra protein. Use what works for your bio-individual needs.

Naked collagen creamers make a great addition to your daily hot drinks. Just remember they are additions. It’s still important to focus on high-quality protein in your diet.
