This is a fabulous grain free, paleo recipe with the additional protein thanks to the collagen powder. You could use a chocolate protein powder instead if you wish or leave it out altogether. Â The addition of nut butter also provides plenty of healthy fats, protein as well as key minerals like iron, magnesium and zinc.
Collagen, is the most abundant protein in the body, is part of the connective tissue for bones, muscles, blood cells, cartilage, arteries and organs. It’s also great to supporting a healthy gut. As you age, the production of collagen decreases which can affect not just your skin and hair but joints and bones too. Adding collagen powder, to drinks or dishes is an easy and effective way to boost your intake.
