The Santos Brazilian Arabica coffee beans are the most renowned coffee beans in Brazil and they’re considered a direct descendant of the original coffee plants imported into Brazil.
We use high-grade organic coffee beans which imparts a fuller and fruitier flavour.
These beans have gone through a natural, unwashed process which allows fermentation of the pulp on the bean during drying and we source batches with low mycotoxins.
Our Santos Brazilian coffee has a nutty, mellow, bittersweet, chocolaty roasted flavour with low acidity - simply perfect for our Coffee + Collagen. With naturally present nootropic caffeine and adaptogenic ashwagandha Coffee + Collagen helps bring focus and energy to your day.
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides
Collagen provides strength and integrity to the structural protein matrix found in skin, bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage.
Collagen loss is a natural part of ageing which occurs from our 30’s and increase as we grow older. Our hydrolysed collagen peptides are a specific size (under 5000DA’s) for maximum absorption and efficient integration into targeted cells.
Sourced from organic grass-fed herds in South America and found pre-blended in our delicious brews of Coffee + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen or as our odourless, tasteless, highly dissolvable True Collagen to add to your own drinks.
Raw Cacao
Whereas cocoa is made using a fermentation process drying, roasting and then milling cacao beans into a fine powder - raw cacao is made from unprocessed and unroasted cacao powder.
This gives raw cacao a subtle chocolate flavour and an improved nutrition profile since many of the natural phytonutrients, enzymes and vitamins found naturally in the cacao bean may be lost during the roasting process.
You’ll find organic raw cacao in our Cacao + Collagen where it imparts a rich, smooth chocolate flavour.
Ashwagandha
Also known as Indian ginseng this botanical is native to North Africa and India. It has been used for over 3000 years as one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine.
The Sanskrit translation of ashwagandha is ‘smell of the horse’ which refers to its ancient belief of supporting energy, endurance and strength.
In the West, ashwagandha is known as an adaptogen which helps build resilience to stress. These benefits are thought to be attributed to bioactive compounds naturally present in ashwagandha called withanolides.
As for taste, ashwagandha has a sweet, nutty, malty taste which adds a real comfort factor to our Inspired Collagyn. It is one of our favourites and you can also find organic ashwagandha in our Coffee + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen.
Roasted Chicory Root
Chicory root has been used as far back as Ancient Rome for its wealth of health benefits. Once roasted the root takes on a dark, intense and roasted flavour which compliments and naturally enhances the flavour of ingredients such as coffee and cacao.
Chicory root has a very high concentration of a soluble dietary fibre called inulin, (one of the highest known in plants), which helps support digestive function, gut microbiome and contributes to a feeling of fullness.
Our organic roasted chicory root with its slightly bitter and nutty flavour is a real hero ingredient in Coffee + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen.
Baobab
Originating in Africa, the baobab tree produces a hard fruit with a shell like coconut which is full of nutritious pulp. Baobab is an exceptional unique fruit with the ability to naturally dehydrate while still on the branch.
Requiring no heat or pasteurisation its properties remain intact meaning baobab powder is unusually nutrient dense, bursting with vitamin C (three times that of an orange) and nearly 50% fibre.
Our organic baobab has a delicate slightly sweet and tangy flavour and adds a creamy texture to our Coffee + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen.
Your Method
Energise your morning and focus on your day ahead with a delicious brew of Coffee + Collagen.
Mix 2 to 4 scoops (10 to 20g) of Coffee + Collagen into a cafetière with 250ml of hot water.
Blend with 1 tsp of our True MCT oil for a next level ketogenic inspired brew to help power you through the day.
This morning ritual can be enjoyed black, with warmed milk or your favourite plant milk. To bullet your coffee blend with 1 tsp of True MCT oil for a creamy taste.
COULD ADDING MILK OR MYLK TO MY COFFEE + COLLAGEN INTERFERE WITH MY FAST?
Full fat, semi and skimmed cow’s milk all contain too many calories to keep you in fast. But if you use an unsweetened plant mylk, avoid ones that come fortified with extra protein and if you’re not adding half a cup at a time, then a little plant mylk shouldn’t make a big difference. As a general guideline, keep the total calories (of your brew and mylk) within the 50kcal limit, so we recommend no more than 50mls of any milk providing the nutrition information states:
Under 28 Kcal per 100ml Under 2.5g of total carbs per 100ml Under 2.5g sugar per 100ml Under 0.5g of protein per 100ml
In a nutritional analysis comparison of lots of different brands and types of plant mylks we found that it’s Alpro’s fresh unsweetened: almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, coconut and almond milk plus Califa’s fresh almond milk that all fit these criteria.
WHY DOES THE BRAVE METHOD RECOMMEND ADDING MCT INTO COFFEE + COLLAGEN?
By blending True MCT into either of our blends you add another layer of fuel to your day. You gain all the nourishing benefits of the hydrolysed collagen with the fuel and ketogenic potential of MCT. In the case of the Coffee + Collagen it could be that when the caffeine wears off, the MCT oils may still have you covered.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE COFFEE + COLLAGEN?
Our Coffee + Collagen is a Turkish grind which is a finely ground roasted coffee (not instant) and therefore should be used with a French press or Cafetière and add 250ml of hot water. If you just added the water the Coffee would suspend rather than dissolve so it would have a grainy texture. So, if you put 10g into your Cafetière and then pour 250ml of hot water into the cafetière cylinder and make sure the coffee grounds are saturated. It is then best to allow the Coffee to steep for a couple of minutes, then stir and then leave to stand for a further 5 minutes and the Coffee should then settle. If you are taking the Coffee + Collagen with MCT oil, this would then require blending for about 5 seconds until the Coffee is smooth and creamy. Any blender would be suitable.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR OUR COFFEE TO BE MYCOTOXIN FREE?
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of moulds and coffee is easily one of the largest sources of mycotoxins in the food supply. Some types of coffee have more mycotoxins than others. There’s no benefit to mycotoxin exposure, and even tiny amounts within regulatory standards may impact the health of some sensitive individuals. The main mycotoxins are Aflatoxin B1 (a known carcinogen) and Ochratoxin A. We have taken the extra measure to ensure our coffee is not just organic and free of pesticides, but also free of undesirable moulds.
