No Stevia. No Monk Fruit- Why We Chose to Leave Our Collagen Blends Unsweetened

Walk down the supplement aisle, and you'll quickly notice something: almost every collagen powder is sweetened.

Some use stevia. Others use monk fruit, erythritol, or artificial sweeteners. For many people, that's exactly what they're looking for.

It just wasn't what I was looking for.

When I started creating Good Soma, I wasn't trying to make the sweetest drink possible. I was trying to create something I genuinely wanted to drink every morning.

During my first pregnancy, I wanted to move away from coffee while still finding a comforting morning ritual that offered nourishment. I also wanted more protein in my day, but I didn't want another product filled with ingredients I couldn't taste or pronounce. I wanted something simple—ingredients that each served a purpose.

Let the ingredients speak for themselves

Organic cacao has its own deep, rich flavor. Madagascar vanilla beans bring warmth and aroma. Unrefined sea salt adds balance. Rather than covering those flavors with sweetness, I chose to let them stand on their own.

Everyone's idea of "sweet" is different. Some people enjoy no sweetness at all. Others prefer a drizzle of honey, a splash of maple syrup, or a sweetener of their choice. By leaving our blends unsweetened, every cup becomes your own.

Simple Ingredients, Thoughtfully Chosen

Collagen peptides provide an easy way to add collagen protein to drinks and recipes. Collagen naturally contains amino acids including glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline and has a different amino-acid profile from complete proteins.

Organic cacao brings deep, rich chocolate flavor to our cacao blend. Cacao also naturally contains plant compounds including polyphenols and theobromine, but we chose it first and foremost because it tastes good.

Our vanilla blend includes organic MCT oil powder made from coconut oil and acacia fiber. The powdered form blends easily and gives the drink a smoother, creamier texture.

Whole-ground Madagascar vanilla beans add warmth and aroma without artificial vanilla flavoring.

A touch of unrefined sea salt balances and deepens the natural flavors of the cacao and vanilla.

All of our blends are made without added sugar or sweeteners and are certified USDA organic, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
