Vital Proteins – Protein Packed Oatmeal

If you’re looking to kick your oatmeal up a notch, you’ve come to the right place. Vital Proteins has recently become my new obsession because it’s made with collagen! Collagen peptides are made up of amino acids that help rebuild the collagen in our bodies. As we age, our production of collagen begins to slow and our cell structures start to lose shape. By taking collagen, you’re providing your body with essential building blocks for hair, skin, bones, and joints. Leaving your body feeling good on the inside and looking great on the outside.
