My breakfast game has been going strong lately, and I’m proud of it!
From these baked pancakes, to that creamy smoothie and this savory oatmeal, I’ve got my breakfasts under control lately.
It’s especially important to me because I often skip out on breakfast. Unless you count coffee and the occasional container of yogurt a good start to the day.
And don’t get me wrong…coffee is much needed everyday, but by mid-mornings, my stomach is screaming at me for more than just liquid caffeine.
So I turned to one of my favorite go-to breakfasts lately…baked oatmeal cups! If you remember these Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups from October, you know that it makes the most deliciously cozy breakfast for just about any day. The hearty oats, sweet spices, and fruit fill you up and keep you going all morning long.
And that’s just what I need!
But, to kick up my oatmeal game just a bit, I added in Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides. If you follow me on Insta-stories over on Instagram, then you know that I’m a Vital Proteins® lover!
Remember these Pumpkin Pie Pops and this Spiced Gingerbread Latte? Yep, made with Vital Proteins®. It’s an unflavored protein powder that is beneficial to your body in terms of improving your hair, skin, nails, joints, and ligaments. I’m thrilled to be partnering with Vital Proteins® again because I truly believe in the benefits of this collagen powder.
Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides helps your body boost collagen in a natural and safe way. By using this collagen daily, it can provide great health benefits for you. And one of the many things that I love about Vital Proteins® is the variety they provide.

And since I’m trying to be more mindful about breakfast, I knew these Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups, made with Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides, would be perfect for a healthier breakfast.
