Not only are they a delicious way to welcome the new year, but these bite-sized mushrooms are packed with standout ingredients to help you live a fuller, more vibrant life with every serving. The cashews and nutritional yeast provide a soft, cheesy flavor to satisfy avid cheese lovers who are looking for dairy-free alternatives.

Additionally, this recipe is made even more special thanks to the two scoops of Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides. Unflavored and odorless, this collagen powder is easily the most versatile offering in the VP family. The blue tub is a favorite for a reason!
