Bone broth in your morning coffee? The new “wellness latte”
What happens when your morning coffee meets a cup of collagen-rich bone broth? Is it weird… or genius? This rising wellness trend promises you better skin, gut health, and steady energy, but not without a few surprises. Curious? Keep reading to find out more.
Ever looked at your cup of coffee and thought, “This could really use a splash of… beef broth”? Yeah, we hadn’t either, until recently.
But in 2025, wellness culture is full of surprises. And one of the most talked-about ones is the “wellness latte.” It’s warm, weirdly comforting, and packed with nutrients. Some people swear by it. Others gag at the thought. But it’s definitely got people curious.
So, should you give it a shot? Let’s see together below.
So, What even Is Bone Broth Coffee?
It’s exactly what it sounds like: your usual cup of coffee, mixed with bone broth (yep, like chicken or beef broth).
Some people add extras like coconut oil, butter, collagen, or spices. Others skip the coffee completely and just sip a frothy cup of broth, latte-style.
It’s meant to give you more than just a caffeine hit. It’s designed to fuel your body with nutrients first thing in the morning.
Why Would Anyone Do This?
People say different reasons why they resort to a wellness latte instead of a normal cup of joe. But would you do it for any of these reasons?
It’s a nutrition boost in a cup
Bone broth is basically a nutrient boost in a cup. It’s loaded with collagen to support your skin, joints, and gut, plus amino acids like glycine and proline that help in recovery and repair.
You also get the most important minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. They’re all essential for your overall health.
It smooths out your caffeine buzz
Some people say the protein in bone broth helps slow down caffeine absorption, which means:
- No more 11 a.m. crash
- Fewer jitters
- A more stable kind of energy
Not bad for something that tastes like soup-meets-coffee, right?
It’s kind to your gut
If you’ve got a sensitive stomach, bone broth can soothe it quickly. It might even help with digestion if you drink it on an empty stomach.
That’s why the wellness latte became a go-to for people looking to care for their gut before their espresso hits.
How To Make Your Own “Wellness Latte”
There’s no one right way, but here are two super simple options:
Bone Broth + Coffee Combo
You’ll need:
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- ½ cup bone broth (chicken or beef)
- Optional: butter, MCT oil, cinnamon
What to do:
- Heat your bone broth (don’t boil it).
- Brew your coffee.
- Blend it all up until frothy.
Taste-wise, it will be bold. Savory. Kinda weird at first. But some people love it.
Bone Broth Latte (no coffee)
Want something caffeine-free? Try this:
- 1 cup bone broth
- A bit of ghee or coconut oil
- A dash of turmeric, lemon juice, sea salt
- Optional: collagen powder
Heat, blend, sip.
The Downsides of the Wellness Latte
The taste of bone broth coffee isn’t for everyone. It’s savoury and bold, which some people love and others can’t stand.
High-quality broth can also get pricey, especially if you’re sipping it daily.
And for most folks, it’s not a total coffee replacement. It’s more of a bonus boost than a full swap.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for more nutrients, better energy, or just a change from your usual routine, it might be worth a try.
If the idea grosses you out, that’s totally fair. You can still get collagen and gut support in other ways.
But if you’re curious (and maybe a little brave), blending bone broth into your morning coffee could be your next wellness experiment.
And who knows? You might just love it.
