Written by: Vincent Pedre M.D. | December 10, 2025 | Time to read 2 min

Infused with Happy Gut Coffee and boosted by Flex & Digest Collagen, this cozy holiday mocha delivers creamy indulgence with a functional twist. The collagen — backed by 15 clinical studies — supports healthy joints with less pain, smoother skin, and a resilient gut lining, while the cacao adds antioxidant power and peppermint uplifts your holiday spirits.

You’ll love: a rich, frothy cup that feels like a treat but works like wellness — steady energy, no sugar crash, and a happy belly to match.

This Peppermint Mocha tastes better than those oversweetened coffee shop beverages, and won't make you feel like garbage afterward.

• 1 cup brewed Happy Gut Coffee

• 1 scoop Flex & Digest Collagen

• 1 tbsp cacao powder

• ½ tsp maple syrup (or skip it if you don’t need the sweet)

• 2 - 3 drops peppermint extract

• Heated almond or coconut milk

1. Brew your coffee. (Here’s a list of brewing methods and their benefits.)

2. Blend in the collagen, cacao, and peppermint with a milk frother. 

3. Add in the warm milk and blend again until it gets creamy. 

4. Taste it and adjust if you need more sweetness. 

5. Done in under 5 minutes.

• The coffee is low-acid so you won't get reflux or that burning feeling. 

• Collagen repairs your gut lining and helps your joints and skin at the same time. 

• No weird additives or gums that cause bloating. No sugar crash an hour later.
  

It tastes like the holidays but doesn't punish you for drinking it.
