Not if you're using an unflavored collagen peptides!

If you're OK with some natural flavors and stevia being added to your food, flavored multi collagen powder like our chocolate multi-collagen & vanilla multi-collagen can certainly be used.

Flavored collagen powders will have a distinct taste — just like a vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder. They will heavily influence the flavors you're trying to achieve in a recipe.

If you're seeking absolutely no additional flavor or color (but really want to add collagen), use an unflavored collagen powder — your taste buds (and guests) will thank you!

Most recipes will call for at least 1 scoop of collagen powder.

However, it does depend on the recipe.

For example, you'll need 4 scoops if you're baking a Collagen Quiche, but only 1 scoop for Collagen Popcorn. Our recipes will include exactly how much collagen powder is needed in the ingredients listing.

Most of the time, no.

Collagen powder mixes well with a variety of foods and liquids during the preparation phase of a recipe. Just add in the number of scoops as if it were another ingredient. 

We have detailed instructions with each of our collagen protein powder peptides recipes. Just follow along!

Most collagen powders will add less than 30 calories per scoop (our multi collagen contains 30 cals per scoop).

Remember, you're also gaining 7 grams of quality protein and health-boosting amino acids.
