Published 3/31/2023 • Updated 10/23/2023 Collagen peptides are something that I’ve been incorporating into my daily nutrition since pregnancy. Today we’re talking all things collagen peptides, plus sharing our go-to recipe that we always have in the studio freezer.
What is collagen?
Collagen is part of the makeup of animal bone, cartilage, and skin. Collagen peptides are broken-down pieces of whole collagen and have many benefits when ingested. (source)
What You Need for Collagen Cookie Dough
Collagen Peptides: collagen is obviously the star of these cookie dough bites. We recommend using a vanilla-flavored collage, but really any kind will work. You can use unflavored or really any other flavor. Our favorite brand is Vital Protein. Oats: we recommend using quick-cooking oats, but rolled oats work too. Collagen Peptides Honey: we like to use honey because it’s an all-natural sweetener. Mini Chocolate Chips: every cookie dough bite deserves chocolate chips! Water: water is used to give you that true cookie dough texture!
