Forget adding butter and coconut oil to your coffee. For a surprisingly delicious coffee treat that's frothy and creamy without dairy, try blending egg yolks (yes, eggs!) into your morning joe.
Ingredients
1½ cup brewed coffee
2 pasteurized egg yolks
-
1 scoop Unflavored Collagen Peptides
Sweetener of choice, to taste
Optional ingredients:
Directions
Carefully pour hot coffee into a blender, or use a large mug or jar with an immersion blender.
Crack the eggs into a ramekin or bowl and separate the egg yolks from the whites.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drop the egg yolks into the liquid. Once blended, add the scoop of collagen peptides.
After a few seconds, add the sweetener (if desired). Continue to blend on low until the coffee becomes frothy.
Pour into a mug and enjoy.
Recipe Note
- Don't want to waste egg whites? Use 1 whole egg instead of 2 yolks.
- Substitute Vanilla Coconut or Chocolate Coconut Collagen Fuel for the Unflavored Collagen Peptides to get a delectable coffeehouse-style treat with 0g of sugar per serving.
- Nutritional information calculated using Cronometer (without added sweetener).

You've heard of putting butter in coffee, but what about adding an egg to your favorite morning brew? It might sound strange, but blending egg yolks into your coffee creates a frothy, creamy morning treat—no milk or half-and-half required. That's because eggs are excellent emulsifiers. They're the reason our Avocado Oil Mayo is so smooth and creamy, and it's why egg coffee can easily swap in for your typical morning latte!
But why stop at an egg? Stir in a scoop of collagen peptides to start your day with 11 grams of collagen protein for hair, skin and nail support. Craving a sweeter coffeehouse-style drink? Instead of Unflavored Collagen Peptides, whisk in a scoop of Vanilla Coconut or Chocolate Coconut Collagen Fuel and savor the added creaminess from coconut milk powder.
A word of advice: Don't forget to use pasteurized eggs! If you're not using the whole egg, save the whites for your next frittata.
