Equipment

1 small saucepan
1 fine mesh sieve

Ingredients

½ c maple syrup or butter-based or sugar free syrup
⅓ c unflavored collagen peptides 4 scoops of Orgain and 8 scoops of Vital Proteins

Instructions

Heat the ½ c maple syrup in a sauce pan on low to medium heat.
Once hot, whisk in the ⅓ c unflavored collagen peptides to the syrup. Stir aggressively to dissolve the collagen. It has a tendency to seize right away.
Use a fine mesh strainer to strain out any lumps and then enjoy warm.

Notes

Expert Tips

Stir really well: Collagen has a habit of clumping so you need to make sure the syrup is hot before adding the collagen and stir really well to dissolve it. Watch the video to see what I mean.
Strain: If there are any collagen bits left, strain the syrup using a fine mesh sieve.
Give it a stir: As the syrup cools, a film on the top will form and it’ll become very sticky. Simply stir it well (you might need to reheat it a bit) and the film will mix right in again.

Can I use protein powder?

No, I don’t recommend protein powder because it will make the syrup into a paste rather than maintaining the pourable texture.

Storage & Meal Prep

Fridge

Keep this syrup in an air tight container for up to 7 days. Just let it cool completely before storing it. I also recommend storing it in a microwave-safe container because that’s the easiest way to reheat and thin it out to pourable texture again.

Meal Prep

Try making a double or triple batch of the protein syrup. Or, if you have only a bit left, make the protein syrup and then pour it back into the syrup jar for storage for the week.

Reheating

You can reheat the syrup either in the microwave, on the stove top, or by placing the jar in a bowl of warm water. Give it a stir before serving again.
