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. I am so excited to try these! We are trying to clean up our diet, and with four little kids things like this have been hard to find. I think they will love them!

  2. I just made these, they’re in the oven. I didn’t have collagen peptide so I used vega protein powder, long shot, but let’s see how it comes out. Thank you for sharing! looks yummy, I can’t wait to try it with collagen peptide

  3. Hi! What would be the best way to freeze these? Make the batter and then freeze, thaw before baking OR bake and then freeze cookies individually? I wasnt sure how the collagen would react to freezing.

    Thanks!

  4. These look really delicious and, most importantly, simple! Definitely going to have to give these a try. I love having grab-and-go snacks lying around.

  5. These look great for grab and go breakfasts, especially once school starts back. I’m usually so busy getting everyone set with breakfast, snacks and lunches that I un out of time for my food. These will be a game changer!

  6. Is there a calorie/nutrition facts breakdown on these cookies? Sorry if I missed it, they look delicious!

  7. Oh my word these were ridiculously good. I used EnjoyLife choc chips and added some raisins. Had to cook them a little longer but Wow! My new favorite bfast cookies. The kids liked them to which is always a big deal. Thx for the recipe Lexi!

  8. I loved your recipes on your whole 30 takeover and am a happy follower now. While I am still not eating sweets or honey, I will surely make these in the future 🙂
