When it is so hot, and all I want is an ice cold drink, this drink really hits the spot. It's a great on-the-go option, as well as a transition recipe to use when something sweet or chocolatey is calling...
The base:
-Freeze-dried organic coffee (1 teaspoon per cup)
-Grass-fed beef collagen powder (1-2 tablespoons)
-Pure, organic stevia powder (can use whole, grounded leaf, but I prefer the extracted steviol glycosides in pure (nothing else added) organic powder form)
-Water
-Ice
Just blending this up in the Vitamix or other high-speed blender will result in a frothy drink, but if I'm in need of something more substantial, I'll add a few extras.
Extras:
-Raw pastured egg yolk (I usually add 1 raw yolk per mug... or 3 when I want a treat!)
-Organic cacao powder
-Pure vanilla powder
A bit of heaven in a mug.
The 1% non-animal component of my diet is in the form of specific plants that don't cause me issues, namely... High quality cacao and coffee (as well as medicinal herbs) that I use in beverages = the best of both worlds!
Beef is the base 🥩🥩 but this hits the spot in this heat!👌
