Nothing sounds better to us than a creamy, light vanilla latte with an added beauty boost! This latte combines a shot of espresso with oat milk and our new Vanilla beauty blend, which lends a deliciously dreamy flavor to this drink. This latte reminds us of our favorite coffee house drink but is entirely dairy-free and refined sugar-free while also delivering an added beauty boost thanks to our blend of plant botanical extracts.*
This Vanilla Latte uses a scoop of our new Vanilla Plant-Based Collagen Boost Blend to deliver a major punch of sweet and creamy vanilla flavor. Fragrant and sweet, our Vanilla Blend reminds us of fresh-baked cookies or whipped frosting. Just the scent alone of the vanilla blend is swoon-worthy, a single whiff and we’re transported to our favorite bakery. Plus, it’s the perfect addition to coffee, smoothies, oats, baked goods, and anything else you can dream up, but without the sugar rush.
How does our Vanilla Blend boost collagen?
Our Vanilla Plant-Based Collagen Boost Blend helps your body naturally produce more collagen and promote healthier hair, skin, and nails using the power of plant botanicals.* Typical collagen supplements rely on animal byproducts, but Copina Co is different, using only plants to help your body synthesize its own natural collagen.* Amla berries, tremella mushrooms, hyaluronic acid, and bamboo extract are the stars of the show here. This herbalist-approved botanical blend provides hair, skin, and nail support, while also promoting skin elasticity and moisturization and helps to fight wrinkles.* We like to think of our beauty blends as part of your skincare routine- an edible part! Skincare is just as much about what you put in your body as it is what you put on it. By supplementing your normal diet with plant-based collagen powders you continue to boost your body’s natural collagen production.*
What exactly is vanilla, anyway?
We know vanilla is a flavor you’re most likely familiar with, but did you know that vanilla is actually a spice that comes from the orchid family? Vanilla is the fruit of the vanilla orchid, which grows in the form of a long, skinny brown pod. Vanilla orchids grow best in tropical climates such as Mexico, Tahiti, and Indonesia. Three-fourths of the world’s supply of vanilla comes from the island of Madagascar. The vanilla bean produces a chemical called vanillin, which is responsible for the unique flavor and aroma we associate with vanilla. Vanilla beans are typically processed and sold as an extract, which is an infusion of the bean with water and alcohol. Pure vanilla extract is made from real vanilla beans, while imitation vanilla extract relies on artificial vanillin flavoring, skipping the bean altogether. We use organic vanilla flavor in our Vanilla beauty blend!
