Boosted Holiday Treat: Egg Nog with Collagen Powder
Egg nog is a beloved holiday classic — creamy, comforting, and full of festive flavor. Traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, eggs, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, it's a rich treat many look forward to each season. For those looking to give this timeless beverage a nourishing upgrade, adding collagen powder can be a simple and effective option.
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body and is commonly added to foods or drinks to help support skin, joint, and overall wellness. While individual results may vary, incorporating collagen into recipes like egg nog is a convenient way to include it in your routine — without sacrificing taste.
Ingredients:
-
4 cups of whole milk

1 cup of heavy cream

½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg

2 scoops (approximately 20 grams) of collagen powder

In a medium saucepan, combine milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat until it begins to gently simmer.

In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until smooth.
-
Slowly add the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and collagen powder until fully dissolved.
