We love junk food as much as the next person – we’re human, after all – but we’re also big believers in moderation. As we continue to pursue the wellness goals we may or may not have temporarily ditched a few weeks into 2020, we’re also trying something a little different.
To satisfy our sweet and savory cravings, Lively has dreamt up a few collagen recipes that are tasty and (somewhat) nutritious. Feel zero guilt when munching on these culinary creations, which all call for one or two scoops of Vital Proteins collagen products, like our Collagen Peptides, Chicken Bone Broth Collagen, Matcha Collagen, and more.
As we get older – around the age of 30 – our body’s natural collagen production begins to decline. That’s where VP comes in. Our collagen helps to promote healthy hair, skin, nails and joints.** Simply add our collagen to your favorite beverage or food – it’s that simple!
Take a look at some of our greatest hits, pick out your soon-to-be go-to cheat meal, whip it up at home, and dig in.
