Notes
Store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This recipe was created for collagen protein (collagen peptides), and I do not recommend using other types of protein in this recipe.
Recipe Variations:
Go nuts! Add ¼ cup of your favorite nuts, chopped, for an added level of flavor and texture. I love pecans, so that would be my recommendation here.
Brown butter makes everything better! Instead of just melting the butter, brown the butter for a richer, nuttier butter flavor.
