If you are like me and enjoy a cup of coffee every morning, you will love this breakfast shake. Thanks to collagen and eggs it's high in protein and will keep hunger at bay, plus it will satisfy your cravings!
Recipe Tips
This recipe has a shake-like consistency. If you prefer a creamier, thicker smoothie, here are some of the options you can add before blending:
- 1 tablespoon of almond butter
- 1-3 teaspoons of raw cacao powder or Dutch process cocoa powder for a thicker mocha flavored smoothie
- 1 to 2 teaspoons of chia seeds (don't use too much, you don't want to make chia pudding)
- 1/8 teaspoon of xanthan gum or glucomannan powder
If you can't have diary, simply substitute the cream with coconut cream. If you want to make this smoothie vegetarian or vegan, substitute the collagen with whey protein isolate or egg white protein isolate or use sugar-free, plant-based option such as pea protein powder.
Each and every one of us has different dietary needs so it's only natural that you may need to adjust the macros in this keto recipe.
