Bone Broth Hot Cocoa: My Go-To Collagen Protein Drink
I Quit Caffeine.
I’ve been on a bit of a healing journey lately, not just for my body but also for my skin. After running some holistic tests, I found out my cortisol levels were sky high. My functional practioner suggested I give up caffeine for a while to see how my body responded. I love my morning matcha and teas, so finding a replacement felt nearly impossible. But I needed something warm, nourishing, and gut-friendly to start my day. I was on the hunt!
I Found The Best Bone Broth Hot Cocoa
That’s when I stumbled on RAE Basics Bone Broth Protein. It’s a mom-owned company created during the founder’s IVF journey, when she was searching for something that would nourish her body in the most gentle and supportive way. She ended up crafting a bone broth protein powder that’s basically like sipping on a cozy cup of Nesquik hot cocoa. Except this version is packed with 14 grams of protein, grass-fed collagen, and none of the junk.
How It Replaces My Coffee or Tea Every Morning
Now, every morning, I make myself a cup. One scoop of the chocolate bone broth protein, hot water, and a splash of coconut milk. That’s it. It’s creamy, comforting, and it gives me protein and collagen first thing in the morning. When it’s hot outside, I’ll make it iced (just add it to cold water and pour over ice, it’s literally amazing).
And if you’re someone who still loves caffeine, they also have a coffee flavor that gives you 60 mg of caffeine plus the protein and collagen all in one!

Why I Love RAE Basics
14g of protein per scoop keeps me full and supports my metabolism.
Grass-fed bone broth collagen supports skin, joints, and gut health (this has been huge for me as I prep my body for pregnancy again).
Dairy-free & clean ingredients (it’s keto, paleo, and low-carb friendly).
No added sugar, it’s naturally sweetened with monk fruit.
So easy I just add water, no blender needed.
The ingredients are about as clean as it gets: grass-fed bone broth, organic cocoa powder, coconut milk powder, oat milk powder, monk fruit, and Redmond Real Salt.
How I drink it
Hot version:
1 scoop RAE Basics Chocolate Bone Broth Protein
1 cup hot water
Splash of coconut milk (or almond/oat milk)
Iced version:
1 scoop RAE Basics Chocolate Bone Broth Protein
1 cup cold water
Pour over ice, add splash of milk if you want it creamier
Here’s what I have noticed since drinking it!
I easily hit my protein goal of 110g protein per day because each cup of bone broth hot cocoa has 14g protein in it.
My joints and hair feel strong from the collagen in each scoop.
No bloat because there’s no dairy in it, its made with organic coconut milk.
It’s low carb, so I feel energized after in the best way possible. It’s also keto!
I never get a crash, because its made with ZERO added sugar.
I love that it doesn’t require anything other than water to make it creamy and delicious.
It’s such a treat I look forward to every day. Either in the morning as a coffee replacement, as an afternoon pick-me-up or as a dessert post dinner!
