Let’s Talk Collagen!

P.S. it’s optional!

My mom and I have been adding collagen into our diets for over a year and a half now and have been truly amazed at what we’ve seen. Let me tell you about her, first. My mom’s hair hasn’t stopped growing and is thicker than ever. Before she started using collagen protein daily, her doctor told her she might have to start taking medicine for Osteoporosis. At her next visit her doctor was stunned that she no longer had it! Now, I’m not saying collagen is the cure, but it was one of the only changes she made so she absolutely attributes it.

I love it as it’s wonderful for your skin, nails, and hair, and also for joint and gut health. Now, how do we sneak it into our daily routine (aside from breakfast cookies)? Through my coffee (yes it’s tasteless)!

Easy breezy. I just add a scoop into the mug, pour in the coffee, and it dissolves instantly with no taste.

But today… adding it into cookies!

  1. Can we omit or swap out the shredded coconut? I don’t really like the taste/texture but would love to try these!

  2. 3 stars
    Was kind of disappointed at how small these are… not the most practical as a breakfast food. Better as a supplementary snack. Also worth noting that they don’t harden well, and appear VERY different than the photos… much darker. Taste good, not mind blowing.

    1. I can see that if you’re not having anything else. Did you follow it exactly? I haven’t heard of them being dark. But yes, by nature, a softer cookie, not a hard cookie.

  3. 5 stars
    Holy. Bananas. I just baked Lexi’s breakfast cookies. ???. Phenomenal!!! I didn’t have enough walnuts so I added in some pecans too, along with a few dark chocolate chips & dried cranberries. I will have a REALLY hard time saving these for breakfast and not eating them for dessert everyday.

  4. Actually now that I think about my last comment Oats are a grain? So that wouldn’t be good. Ahh just getting used to all of this. But still keen to know if kids can have it with the collagen power in it. Thanks

  5. Hello – is it okay for kids to eat them with the cologne in it? Also are they designed to keep you full? Can you add oats to fill you up more or no?
    THANKS!!!!!
