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 take collagen to heal my gut from inflammation & leaky gut, along with my Hashimotos. I am thrilled to find this recipe! Always looking for new ones to try!
Absolutely LOVE breakfast cookies!! Thank you so much for the giveaway Lexi! 🙂
This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try this recipe
These cookies look like a great way to change up the breakfast menu. Collagen in coffee? Win-win!
After my daughter woke up before 6am this morning, I needed something yummy and quick for breakfast that would go well with the loads of coffee I was about to consume! So we made your breakfast cookies and they were a hit with me and my early riser! I did not have the collagen powder (though I’m researching it’s benefits right now!), but added PB2 and flax seeds. Yummy! Thank you!
So glad they were delicious!
yuumm! I’m making these this weekend!
I just found out I have low bone density. Would love to try the collagen to see if it helps!
Hi Jenny! You won!! Please send me your address to Lexi@lexiscleankitchen.com!
These look delicious, and I’d love to try the collagen. Do you have the nutrition info for the cookies?
I ordered Vital Proteins for the first time last week. I having been using it in smoothies but looking for other ways to use it
What a delicious recipe! My kids aren’t great breakfast eaters and I keep looking for easy and delicious ways to send them off to school ready to learn and play. I will definitely try your recipe.
Can’t wait to try the cookies AND the collagen!
What could be better than cookies for breakfast?!? Yum!
Excited to try adding this to cookies. I just started using collagen and hoping I feel a difference. Thank you Lexi for making me feel like I can make this very important diet change!!!
Want to try collagen proteins
I would love to try these. I might actually leave the collagen out though (any other ideas?). Last time I used collagen peptides for a week I had a big outbreak of cold sores. Later learned that collagen is a trigger. So cold sore sufferers beware!
I use collagen peptides in my smoothies every morning and LOVE them! Thanks for sharing a new recipe to try.
This recipe looks delicious, thank you! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis one year ago and have been trying to address this through improved nutrition and supplements. I just purchased a different brand of collagen peptides earlier this week. Would love to try the Vital Proteins brand.
I’ve been dying to try Vital Proteins products and this would be perfect! in fact if I don’t win I’m going to have to bite the bullet and buy some just so I can make this recipe, it looks delish!
I’ve been wanting to try Vital Proteins! Thanks for doing a giveaway!
Yum, can’t wait to try these!
