A few weeks ago, Jennifer Aniston and I met over Zoom to discuss her oft-admired exercise routine . Though it was significantly earlier on the West Coast, where Aniston was located, she was perky—the perfect foil to my needs-another-coffee East Coast exhaustion. Seeking inspiration, I asked: “What’s your morning routine like?” “Well, I wake up,” she started.
The next thing she said was surprising: “And I put so much shit in my coffee.” We live in a maxxing -obsessed world: There was sleepmaxxing , looksmaxxing , and now, we’re on to coffeemaxxing—the idea of maximizing your coffee’s potential by adding supercharged ingredients. Aniston, it appears, is a fan of the trend.
“I put in Vital Proteins peptides , a type of Stevia, which I do feel like somebody has said is bad for me, then lactose-free milk,” she explains. “Next, get in there and blend. I like to use a hand-held blender to mix it all up so it tastes great.
” And why, exactly, does Aniston put collagen in her coffee? “Collagen is a protein found in the body that plays a crucial role in various tissues, including skin, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments,” board-certified celebrity dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban previously told Vogue . “We need it because as we age, our body’s natural collagen production decreases, leading to various signs of aging and reduced structural support in tissues.
” Aniston’s collagen of choice, the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides , has 20 grams of unflavored peptides in a single serving. Then came this confession: “I also add in something that’s probably my poison. I can’t even confess what it is, but it has a really nice hazelnut flavor.
” Hey, you only live once—no judgment here..
