I know I sound like a broken record, but I often tell you guys that I crave sweet dessert-like foods after I work out. I know I’m supposed eat protein( yada yada), but my sweet tooth tends to win the battle.
It’s usually a need (protein) verses want (dessert) situation, and what my wants always win the battle 😁.
But life is even better when post workout snacks not only taste like dessert, but also have added protein without one even knowing it. Don’t get me wrong, I love my protein powder. I just don’t always enjoy the weird aftertaste and texture it can lend.
I really enjoy using Vital Protein’s Collagen Peptides because it dissolves in hot or cold liquids and has no taste at all! You scoop it in basically anything and it vanishes like a phantom, but it gives you tons of protein and other added health benefits.
As I mentioned before in my No-Bake Paleo S’mores Protein Bars recipe post, consuming collegian promotes:
- stronger bones and joints
- contributes to a balanced diet
- healthy immune, digestive and central nervous system.
For this particular recipe I used the Marine Collagen, which is derived from wild-caught snapper and provides 11 grams of protein per serving. Just scoop and dump in whatever your little heart desires. And if your heart desires liquid cake, you are in the right place😏
All you need for this smoothie bowl is:
Vital Protein’s Wild-Caught Collagen Peptides
frozen bananas
pecan butter
coconut milk
cocoa powder
coconut extract
toasted coconut
toasted pecans
chia seeds
dark chocolate chunks
