You don’t have time to go to a coffee shop, you need a pick-me-up, and you need it ASAP.

This beverage is much more than a cup of coffee, with whey protein, collagen, and nootropics — it’s your afternoon snack and energy boost in one.

3 Health Benefits of Midday Boost Latte

#1: Protects Your Joints

Many athletes experience joint pain now and then from everyday wear and tear. While this may seem like a normal side effect from being an active person, joint pain is no laughing matter. In fact, many athletes find themselves seeking anti-inflammatory supplements and medications so they can continue being active.

Aside from the fact that it can throw you off your training schedule, joint pain is often a sign that something more serious is happening with your connective tissue.

When athletes supplement with collagen, it not only enhances their collagen production, but it significantly decreases joint pain.

In a clinical trial taking place over 24-weeks, athletes taking collagen supplements experienced less joint pain when walking, lifting, standing, and at rest[*].

#2: Promotes Muscle Growth

Hitting the gym and eating a bunch of protein sound like no-brainers when it comes to muscle growth. While these are certainly important considerations, if you really want to get targeted with your training, you need to include branch chained amino acids (BCAAs).

BCAAs are specific amino acids that work in your body to stimulate protein synthesis in your muscles — leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Through several mechanisms, BCAAs initiate a signaling cascade that enhance your muscles mass.

If you’re looking for a real boost in your physique, targeting these amino acids in your diet is a must. More muscle helps you lose unwanted fat, so you’ll be toning up while you slim down.

So, where can you find these BCAAs?

Whey protein happens to be a fantastic source of all three BCAAs and is exceptionally high in leucine — the ring leader BCAA[*].

#3: Boosts Brain Function

Decaf coffee gives this protein latte its rich, nutty flavor, but the real energy boost comes from the nootropics.

Nootropics support brain health and enhance your cognitive performance. From the structure of your brain cells to the function of their signaling chemicals — nootropics can help.

Depending on your goals, adding in a boost of brain nutrition can help boost your physical and mental performance.

Some of the benefits of the nootropics found in this recipe are:

  • Ginkgo biloba supports healthy nerve function and aging
  • Omega-3 fatty acids enhance memory recall and support the structure of your brain cells[*][*][*]
