Fit Friday: Whole30 Breakfast! Cauliflower Oatmeal + Collagen Latte

It’s my third week of the Whole30!! I cannot believe I only have one week left! While popcorn and beans are still just as hard to resist, I have really gotten over my cravings for rice, oatmeal, added sugars, yogurts, or any other foods I have had to cut out of my diet!!

Today in honor of Fit Friday, I am sharing another recipe of my daily breakfast!! In the past before the Whole30, breakfast did not sound appealing to me at 4:30 in the morning so I would just grab a banana. While I still am not a huge breakfast eater, I know wake up every morning and hop out of bed so excited to drink my Collagen Latte and Cauliflower Oatmeal!!

First, I am sharing my recipe for my collagen coffee which I swear I have felt so many benefits from. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, supporting the vitality of skin, hair, tendons, cartilage, bones, and joints. Vital Proteins peptides are easily digestible perfect to mix into so many recipes!! 

One thing that has definitely been hard for me to give up while on the Whole30 is protein powder. I love adding vanilla protein powder to my smoothies for a post-work out meal or just to give my fruit smoothies that vanilla flavor, but majority protein powders are not Whole30! I am so thankful I have found collagen peptides because they substitute perfectly for my usual protein powder, are whole30 approved, and honestly I love Vital Protein’s products so much more than the powders I was using! 

This recipe is the perfect way to get a caffeine boost and vital nutrients right as you start your day. It is so fast and easy to make, you’ll never go back to your old coffee again!
