These pops might look intricate, but they are super easy. I have been loving collagen in place of whey protein. Whey protein has it’s benefits. However, I find that when you do too much (and I believe many people do too much - people add protein to EVERYTHING) it impacts digestion and skin.
I will post more about my (hopefully previous) skin issues later - I was having major issues with it for a good 6-8 months. Post-nursing hormone regulation + self-care, cutting down on whey and using more collagen, and Beauty Counter have all combined to change my skin for the better. Fingers crossed. For now, lets talk collagen!
My favorite brand is from Primal Kitchens. It tastes delicious. I order through Thrive Market - I find that they have amazing prices. I get a lot of healthy snacks and hygiene products at great prices for my kids there too! You can sign up using this link and take 25% off your order + free shipping.
Collagen is found in animal protein, including humans! It is responsible for giving skin elasticity and gives hair, bones, and cartilage strength. With consistent use, collage can positively impact digestion, bone and joint health, and hormone balance.
There are several ways to add it in to your daily life: smoothies, yogurt, protein bites, and even a popsicle!

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
