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!

I’ve been reading a lot of people talking about collagen (especially Tina from Carrots n Cake). I’m really curious, but I haven’t brought myself to fork over for it yet! I can definitely see myself adding it to iced coffee, since I’m drinking so darn much of it anyway.
TOTALLY MAKING THIS! Was craving for a cookie or cookies for breakfast!
These look amazing! Cant wait to make them! I love love love vital proteins!!
Cool completely??? Yeah right! Just took these out of the oven and they’re amazing. I used walnuts, dried cherries and cacao nibs. Added a pinch of cinnamon. My bananas were green so the maple syrup was perfect, but if they were ripe I would probably only add 1T. These are the perfect pregnancy snack and I can see them being awesome for breast feeding since they’re so simple to make. I love vital proteins, it’s helped with my joint issues immensely. Every morning I have a rooibos tea with butter, coconut oil and a scoop of collagen.
That is awesome. I agree, give me them right out of the oven! Glad you loved 🙂
P.S. Make sure you use the hashtag #lexiscleankitchen when you post on IG so I don’t miss it!
This sounds like something I need to add to my diet ASAP!
Such a fan of protein packed snacks! These are great for busy work days and pre/post workout. I’ve been eyeing Vital Proteins products for a while now, but since your comment on helping to heal osteoporosis (my mom has also been told to watch it/incorporate things to help prevent further damage), I will definitely be purchasing some for the two of us!
I would love to try this product! My friend was telling me about the health benefits of collagen. I would love to experience these benefits for myself and my family.
I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time! I’d love to try it and see its benefits for my digestion and skin!
I’ve been seeing Vital Proteins on IG and am really interested in trying them.
oooh i would love to try collagen!
The cookies look delicious… And I think I will have to get some vital proteins for my mom and me, too! Thanks.
These are totally baller! I’ve been using it in everything too but never thought about coffee (which I’m drinking as I type this). Trying it out tomorrow!
I’m not a big sweet breakfast person but I think I’ll have to give these cookies a shot anyways 🙂 they look delicious!
Totally making these tonight, I actually have all the ingredients on hand (for once!).
Started my healthy journey On Monday and this would be great!!
Looks delicious!
Oh my gosh.. I just laughed so hard seeing “The Hoff” as your picture!
These cookies remind me of 3-ingredient oat cookies I make on the weekly for breakfast. Looking forward to trying these out for something different!
Thank you posting, Lexi! Can’t wait to make these, you inspired me to make a batch for my mom, too! So excited about the giveaway, fingers crossed! ☺️
The recipe sounds delicious. If someone in your family has a nut allergy, what other flour is available to substitute?
Try ground sunflower seeds!
Can you use other flours? like, coconut flour, or oat flour?
Coconut flour would not be a 1:1 sub. I can’t guarantee other flour subs since I haven’t personally tried them, but oat flour may work!
Actually banana flour would be excellent since it is a prebiotic for gut health.
