Prep time: 5 minutes | Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp cream (or coconut cream)
- 2 tbsp milk (or coconut milk)
- 1 scoop My Way Up Collagen Restore™
- 1 shot of espresso
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200ml pure coconut water
- 1 cup ice
Method
- Whisk the Espresso Foam
Add the cream, milk, espresso, Collagen Restore™ and vanilla extract to a glass or small bowl. Whisk until frothy and creamy - be careful not to over-whisk, you want a light foam, not stiff peaks. - Fill Your Glass
Add the ice to a serving glass and fill about three-quarters full with the coconut water. - Layer and Serve
Slowly pour the espresso foam over the top of the coconut water so it sits as a layer. Give it a gentle stir just before drinking, and enjoy. - Store
Best enjoyed fresh, straight after making.
Notes
- Dairy-free option: swap the cream and milk for coconut cream and coconut milk for a fully plant-based version.
- Want it sweeter?: add 1 tbsp maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.

Why This One's Worth Making
It's not just a good-looking drink - there's a real mechanism behind it.
Collagen Restore contains BIMUNO GOS, a prebiotic fiber that feeds specific good bacteria in your gut. Emerging research suggests a strong link between gut bacteria and cortisol regulation - feed the right bacteria, and it may help support a calmer, more balanced stress response over time.
Espresso gives you the lift you're actually here for, without needing anything else added - just coffee, done properly.
Coconut water is a natural source of electrolytes, making it a great way to support hydration day-to-day, particularly post-workout or on warmer days.
Together, it's your regular coffee order - just doing a little more for you than it used to.
