Why You Need Collagen Protein Powder and Some Yummy Recipes

I don’t remember why I decided to order this collagen protein powder. I think it was while I was doing keto or something.. But I did and now I want to order more. This is by far the best protein powder for mixing into foods and drinks. The unflavored is truly unflavored and un-textured. You can’t even tell that it’s in the food.. and it adds 10g of protein per scoop!

I have been trying to add protein to my oatmeal for years.. I’ve tried adding egg whites, adding protein powder, but I can’t get over the texture changes that those make to the oatmeal and honestly, most whey protein doesn’t taste that great to me.

I have found 3 things that I really enjoy addingVital Protein’s Collagen powderto..my oatmeal, a yogurt parfait concoction, and my matcha tea. It makes meeting my protein goal super easy without having to stuff down large amounts of meat at every meal.

I haven’t tried any other collagen proteins, so I can’t compare them to other brands, but I honestly don’t think that I will try other brand because there’s the risk of being disappointed.

What is Collagen Protein?

Collagen protein is a very common protein found in all mammals. Yes, even our own bodies make it. But as we get older, the body slows down the production. It’s a building block for your bones, teeth, muscles, skin, joints and connective tissue. And it is the most abundant protein that is found in your body.
