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!

Hi Lexi,
we just LOVE your healthy recipes!! I can’t keep translate them to Hungarian to my Mum, because she doesn’t speak English. 🙂 she just see the amazing photos of the meals, choose one which stunnes her, and my task is to tell her the instructions and ingredients! 😀
Soo, we Hungarians are also huge fan of you 🙂
These look so good, and what a delicious way to sneak in some healing collagen! Woo hoo!
These cookies look amazing and I’ve been wanting to try collagen peptides 🙂
These look great, can’t wait to try!
Can’t wait to try these out tonight!
These look amazing…. love to see a breakfast cookie without oats. Ordering the collagen today. Do you know if these cookies would freeze well? Sounds like they’ll go fast, but I’d love to make a BIG batch and be able to free some for those weeks I’m too busy to bake.
I am wondering if one could make something similar with apples. We do get a lot of bananas in our diets around here!
These look delicious! I love incorporating collagen peptides into my recipes too.
I don’t use collagen regularly, but may have to now. I love the use of them in breakfast cookies for extra protein. Never thought of putting it in coffee either. Thanks for your ideas! Will make your cookies this week. Would love to win the collagen!
Hi Sue! You won!! Please send me your address to Lexi@lexiscleankitchen.com!
Based off your review, just started sending my mom this stuff to try and help her joint pain!
These cookies look incredible. When you said your Mom’s hair has never been thicker I was immediately intrigued! I’ve got to try this!
I would love to make these cookies and am wondering about serving sizes and macros per cookie? How many can I eat for breakfast? How much protein per cookie, how many carbs?How much sugar? Thanks. Carol
These look delish-us! A definite must try! I’m also glad to see you have a cookbook, I like something organic to hold in my hands and look at! Thank you, Lexi!
Cookies look yummy! Would love to try the collogan out!
Cookies look great! Think I’ll try vital proteins even if I don’t win!
I usually put collagen in my tea, but don’t have it every day. this sounds like a fantastic idea to get it in this way through out the week.
Super interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Those cookies look amazing! And the health benefits sound great too!
thank you for the simple healthy cookie option. I am always looking for ways to incorporate a healthy “snack” idea into my diet that wont totally derail my healthy meal selections during the day.
Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try this recipe.
