Notes
*Instead of 2 Tbsp of sugar-free syrup, you can also use 2 Tbsp of maple syrup plus ½ Tbsp of water.
**I used Vital Protein's Collagen Peptides Powder. I used a standard measuring cup to measure out the protein powder, but for reference: 6 Tbsp of collagen peptides was equivalent to 3 scoops, or 30 grams
***To make this low-carb or keto friendly, use sugar-free chocolate chips, or a stevia-sweetened kind.
