It only requires three ingredients: cashews, dates, and collagen powder. By mixing in soaked cashews, you’re essentially creating a plant-based milk—and instead of pouring it over your drink, you combine it with your coffee in one easy step. Dates also add a touch of sweetness to the drink, but don’t completely overwhelm it, so the coffee flavor still shines through.

But I would argue that the real effect here is the collagen peptides. IS something about mixing the high-quality powder that makes the drink so creamy, and that ties the whole recipe together.

In addition to experiential benefits, collagen is also associated with many beauty benefits, e.g skin elasticity and hydration1 and strong hair and nails.* Beauty & gut collagen+ by mindbodygreen also contains additional beauty-enhancing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, turmeric, and vitamins C and E, which promote collagen synthesis and help protect cells from oxidative stress.*
