After the success of its Caffe Latte flavor, Iconic Protein created Collagen Coffee, a line of 11-ounce canned coffee beverages that are enriched with 10 grams of grass-fed bovine collagen. The Mocha, Dark Roast and Salted Caramel varieties are not just enhanced with collagen but also plenty of other ingredients like MCT oil and functional mushrooms from Four Sigmatic. The non-dairy, zero-sugar beverages share 200 milligrams of caffeine and offer a convenient alternative to enjoying a cup of coffee.
These ready-to-drink canned coffee beverages are in line with consumer demand for caffeine-added, zero-sugar products with added functional benefits.
Iconic Protein's Collagen Coffee is also available as a powder that's sold by the tub.
