We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so join me for breakfast ideas with Bowmar French Toast Collagen!
The flavor is next level. Every sip tastes as if you've just sunken your teeth into golden-brown slices of pillowy bread topped with melted butter, warm maple syrup and subtle hints of cinnamon. That’s no exaggeration. But what really does it for me is ALL the different ways you can enjoy it. Let’s dive in and explore some of my favorites:
Pump up your java:
You can start skipping your trips to the coffee shop because as soon as you try collagen proffee, you’ll want to enjoy your own at-home creations! For those of you that don't know what "collagen proffee" is, I’d describe it as being a magical elixir that combines the healing properties of collagen with the energy-boosting benefits of coffee.
Each scoop of our collagen is packed with 20g of grass-fed bovine collagen that dissolves in hot or cold coffee, so you won't even know it's there, outside of the incredible flavor it adds. Plus proffee is easy to make, tastes just as delicious, and is less expensive than going to your favorite coffee shop!

Fold into pancake/waffle batter:
Not a coffee person? No problem! This is a tried and true way to enjoy French Toast Collagen because who doesn’t love pancakes and/or waffles? If you don’t, we got beef, but we can talk about that later.
This makes for a STACKED breakfast anyone will love, even your kids and spouse that claims they “don’t like any protein powders.” All you need is:
1 scoop of Bowmar French Toast Collagen
1 whole egg
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce or greek yogurt (helps keep them moist)
Optional: dash of cinnamon and ½ tsp vanilla extract
Directions for waffles:
- Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Pour the batter into your waffle maker.
- Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Your waffle making most likely has a setting that tells you when it’s done.
- Top with peanut butter, fresh fruit, syrup, or whatever else you’d prefer and ENJOY!
Directions for pancakes:
- Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Pour the batter onto a griddle or frying pan.
- Cook until both sides are golden brown.
- Top as you see fit and ENJOY!
It doesn’t get much easier OR TASTIER (actually it might be able to – these next ideas are *chefs kiss*).
Add to oatmeal or overnight oats:

Pour over cereal:
Where are my Millennials at?! Pretty sure we were raised on cartoons and cereal. I distinctly remember waking up on Saturday mornings, plopping my behind down in front of the TV, and crunching on my favorite bowl of cereal while my parents were still in bed.
Now I don’t know about you, but I still LOVE to enjoy cereal from time to time. Except I spruce it up a bit by combining a scoop of collagen or protein into the milk and pouring it over my cereal. This way I can have my cereal and hit my protein goals too! Just imagine pouring French Toast Collagen milk over your cinnamon cereal. Are you drooling yet? I am, and you can be sure each bite will take you right back to those Saturday mornings.
