Ingredients
  

Blueberry Compote
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Splash of water
  • Monk fruit to taste
Blueberry Syrup
  • Homemade blueberry syrup cooled (use extra compote liquid or boil blueberries with water + monk fruit and strain)
Latte Components
  • Ice
  • 6 8 oz fresh brewed coffee
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1 scoop collagen peptides I use Naked Nutrition's (link below)

Method
 

Blueberry compote
  1. Simmer blueberries, water and monk fruit until the berries burst and thicken. Strain and spoon into the bottom of your glass.
  2. Add ice: Fill the glass.
Blueberry syrup
  1. Drizzle the cooled syrup over the ice.
  2. Add coffee: Brew coffee (over-ice setting if you have it) and pour over the syrup and ice.
Collagen cold foam
  1. Froth almond milk and collagen until thick.
  2. Pour foam on top and enjoy the layered blueberry moment.

Notes

Tips for the Best Layers

• Cool your coffee slightly before pouring so it doesn’t melt all the ice

• Make the compote ahead so it thickens and sets

• Froth the almond milk longer than usual for foam that sits on top

• Use a clear glass if you want that pretty layered look

• If you want it sweeter, sweeten the foam instead of the latte for a balanced flavor

Gut Health Benefits

• Blueberries bring antioxidants and polyphenols that support gut bacteria
• Collagen adds protein for hair, skin, joints and gut lining support
• Almond milk keeps it light and easy to digest
• Low sugar option with monk fruit keeps blood sugar stable
• Better-for-you latte that won’t spike energy then crash

The collagen that I prefer is Naked Nutrition’s Collagen Peptides as this is a clean product with no additives/junk. Look for a collagen with Type I and Type III Collagen as this is what your body actually uses/absorbs.
