My Morning Coffee

My morning coffee routine.

#health

My morning coffee:

  1. Freshly ground Medium roast Ruta Maya coffee1 brewed with Aeropress2
  2. 1 scoop collagen peptides3
  3. ~5-10g creatine
  4. ~300-500mg pure L-theanine4 powder
  5. 1000 IU vitamin D3 + 200 micrograms vitamin K25

This is a follow-up to my sleepy time tea recipe!

Footnotes

  1. I emailed the address on the website to ask about testing, particularly around mycotoxins. The email bounced 💀 ↩

  2. No special process here. There is a whole world of Aeropress brewing, but I just stick with the normal process as laid out in the instructions. ↩

  3. Before we were more conscious of ingredients, we had an Amazon subscription for some randomly sourced collagen. At some point, when we run out of our supply of collagen, I’ll switch to a more legit/high-quality source. ↩

  4. This is new to my recipe, but the interactions between L-theanine and caffeine are well-defined: less jitters, pure caffeine buzz. It’s great! ↩

  5. I have an Athletics Green-provided supply of this that came with my old AG1 supply. It’s a droplet that is completely easy to over-dose - bad design. Another “I’ll use it until I run out of it” thing. ↩
