While I might not be the most up-to-date with social media trends, I've been intrigued by the multitude of home remedies shared online, particularly on platforms like TikTok. It's fascinating to see the various ideas both young and old offer.
As coffee prices in Sydney have hit record highs, I've started to cut back on my coffee shop visits, making it essential to diversify my coffee options at home. I'm open to any suggestions you might have!
Integrating nutrient-rich ingredients into my coffee is my goal. The days of just 'bulletproof coffee' are behind us; we now seek more health-oriented options. A current trend gaining traction is “proffee,” which merges protein powder with coffee.
For those looking for a pre-workout boost without any unnecessary additives, combining a strong black coffee with protein powder could be an excellent choice. Caffeine naturally enhances muscle contractions and reduces fatigue, making it advisable to enjoy your coffee about an hour before your workout for optimal results.
To effectively support muscle protein synthesis, it's crucial to include protein in your daily meals, ensuring your muscles receive adequate nutrition for growth.
Interestingly, protein isn't the only nutrient you can add to your coffee—collagen is another fantastic option. As the most abundant protein in our bodies, collagen offers numerous benefits. However, it lacks tryptophan, making it not a complete protein on its own. Thus, it's best when combined with other protein sources.
Incorporating collagen into your coffee can support skin health and improve gut bacteria, while also alleviating joint discomfort. If you, like me, occasionally experience joint pain or inflammation, collagen may provide relief. When selecting collagen, aim for high-quality options that are grass-fed and pasture-raised.
You can enjoy your proffee throughout the day, especially when you need an extra energy boost. Here are some essential ingredients to consider adding to your collagen powder:
- Vitamin C & E
- Biotin
- Hyaluronic acid

Key Takeaway:
If you're curious about the interaction between heat and collagen, here's an important note: High temperatures can degrade collagen's beneficial properties. Brew your coffee at temperatures between 195–205 degrees to preserve its benefits. Alternatively, consider enjoying your coffee cold for added assurance.
To prepare your collagen-infused coffee, follow these steps:
- Brew your coffee as usual.
- Measure out the appropriate amount of collagen.
- Stir the collagen into your coffee until fully dissolved.
