One of the best things you can do for yourself in the morning gives your body energy without the extra sugars and carbs. I personally switched to a special recipe years ago to help support my skin, hair and brain every morning. I call this my anti-aging morning beverage because all of that extra support helps slow the natural aging process.
Do you want to look and feel younger? We can absolutely age gracefully!
Here is a super quick recipe you can make every morning before your workout or starting your day. It tastes so good! It is easily one of my favorite treats in my day and helps me start my morning in a great mood!
Anti-Aging Morning Beverage Recipe
- 1 Scoop Collagen Powder
- 1 Scoop Cacao Bliss
- 1 Protein Drink (vanilla, chocolate or coffee flavor)
- ½-1 cup Coconut Milk
- 1 packet of instant coffee (optional)
Mix all ingredients together in a blender until fully blended, and serve chilled or over ice. This recipe makes one large serving and acts as a meal replacement. It tastes incredible—like a chocolate or mocha milkshake!
How Does This Anti-Aging Morning Beverage Help?
While they all taste great together, each ingredient serves a purpose in my drink. Here is a breakdown of why I use the ingredients I do for this morning beverage.
Dressing Your Truth Collagen Peptides Powder
Collagen is absolutely a necessary ingredient in your diet. It isn’t very easy to get unless you use a supplement regularly, so I love that I can add it right to this morning beverage! Collagen helps build stronger nails while also nourishing your hair and skin. It even supports your connective tissues deep inside where you can’t see them—but you can feel the benefits over time.
We started offering a Collagen Peptides Powder because collagen is that essential in helping us look our best every day. Our powder pulls five types of collagen from multiple sources to give you a well-rounded product for the best results. It’s hydrolyzed, meaning it is broken down into peptides so that the collagen will absorb quickly in any liquid (hot or cold). It is also flavorless, so it won’t alter the taste of any drink you add it to. You can add this straight to your morning coffee or a shake like the one I make!
Earth Echo Cacao Bliss
We call this mix from Earth Echo the “powder of the gods.” I love this company, and I think this specific mix is unlike anything else out there (although you could use another cacao for my recipe if you are in a pinch).
This mix includes:
Raw cacao: An antioxidant, cacao has also been shown to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow throughout the body while reducing the risk of blood clots. It has also been linked to helping improve brain health, cognition and lower the risk of dementia.
Tumeric: An anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that improves heart health and prevents issues like cancer and Alzheimer’s. Tumeric can help keep blood sugar levels steady. It may also help with reducing depression and lessening the impact of arthritis.
MTC oil: Great for the brain, MTCs also provide energy that will help power up your morning without the need for carbs. It can reduce bacterial growth and supports your heart. MTC oil might also help with managing diabetes and reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s. It has been known to help improve memory and brain function.
Lucuma: Also known as the “gold of the Incas,” lucuma contains a variety of antioxidants that can help prevent heart disease, cancer and diabetes. It will help slow the aging process and fight free radicals in your body. Full of fiber, lucuma is also great for helping regulate your bowel movements.
Four superfoods (cinnamon, Himalayan salt, mesquite and black pepper) that serve as additional anti-inflammatory and blood sugar-reducing ingredients that help support a stronger body and mind.
Protein Drink
Adding protein (without any extra sugar or carbs) is a great way to fill up and achieve sustained energy in the morning. Protein is a longer-lasting fuel that helps build muscles. You can also boost your collagen production by eating a lot of protein-rich foods. So, the protein further supports your body’s creation of the anti-aging collagen ingredient we are so focused on with this morning beverage recipe!
Protein helps your body make new cells—which is really helpful in fighting the aging process that naturally slows this production. All of the cells in the human body contain protein, so it is an essential building block that is central to a healthy diet. I use a pre-mixed protein drink to add more silky liquid to my recipe.
Coconut Milk
You could also substitute almond milk, cashew milk, rice milk, cow’s milk or really any kind of milk in this recipe. However, I like the flavor and health benefits of coconut milk. Coconut milk offers healthy fats that will decrease your appetite and support weight loss while boosting all-day energy levels.
Instant Coffee
If you like the flavor of coffee, use decaf! If you want added energy and focus, use a regular instant coffee packet. This is a totally optional ingredient for those of us who would really miss our morning coffee!
